Happy Trails.....

Well, I have been out of town...to watch my girls play in their Special Olympics Basketball Regionals. I then got to visit one my Aunties, a cousin and one of my Great-Aunties. Had a wonderful visit. Here are the girls with their silver medals.Great Job Girls...Good luck at State. Wish I could be there. Love ya!!!

At my Aunties we were loving the Christmas gift she received from a friend. Here it is in its glory...I did get some knitting done during my travels...I finished my last skein of the Patons Decor-Sweet Country Verg for the Pinwheel baby blanket, need to go pick up the final skein. I am making this for our new Grand baby coming in March. Good thing there seems to be no dye lots with this particular yarn. When I finished the skein for the baby blanket I casted on a baby sweater for the wee-one. :o) Here he is...........

I can't wait to give that little guy a big hug and kiss. :o)

Ripple Me Happy!


Have you ever been so joyful for someone else's accomplishments that it inspires you into action? Well, I have. Keri has made the most beautiful ripple blanket that I sooooo want to make one for myself. When the gal of Knitty Gritty Thoughts first posted the lovely snuggly I knew I had to make one. I used to have a blanket with the same pattern. I bought it at a thrift store, it was light blue and white. It was so well loved it is no longer with us. :o(

I love blues and reds so I think I might make mine with red, white(I might use cream instead of stark white) and blue. Very patriotic, that's me also. :o)

Have a Happy Ripple of Day!

Day 54 Quarentine

Yea, you read that right, day 54. It's so crazy to realize it's been that long that we've been isolated. We are retired so even...
