Long over due

I haven't had a chance to blog for awhile with everything that has been going on. I lost my dear sweet Sonnie on Thanksgiving morning she has crossed over the rainbow bridge. I have had her for 15 years and she was such a princess and demanded to be treated that way. As spoiled as she was was she was always a good girl never giving me any trouble. She is going to be missed by everyone here. She was my special girl.

I have been busy knitting and crocheting up a storm I have made 23 scarves and 52 hats that I donated to the homeless shelter for the winter I have also done 75 baby hats for the children's hospital.

Right now I am working on knitting a breast cancer awareness hat with cable ribbons, this is getting to be a very challenging project as I am still very new to knitting but I am determined to finish it and I hope it comes out nice. Well I am going to get back to the hat.

Cables

I am so happy I taught myself to knit cables today so my knitting is progressing well I love to crochet but I thought that taking up knitting will be good as there are so many nice knitted things so I thought I would try cables today and I did it I think they are coming out quite well.
this is the beginning of a scarf I am making its called the Irish Hiking Scarf and it is a very easy pattern, the way things are going I am going to be able to make a bunch of these and take them over to the homeless shelter along with the hats that I make to help keep some of the homeless warm this winter. I was given this talent and I am going to use it to help others.

My first post

OK here it is my first blog post. I have never had a blog before and well finally I have decided to start one. I guess this is were I can piss and moan about anything that ticks me off. I have not named my blog as that I can't think of what to call it because I am going to be posting about everything......hmmmmm well not everything but posting of things that I do and maybe post my pics. My Ox right now is sitting on my lap as I type this so it is getting hard to do so I will add more to this later and go give him some attention. As you can see he is so handsome.
