What I have been up to...

Well, it has been awhile since I have posted to my blog and figured that I had better get caught up. I have been down alot with my neck issues. I have been going to therapy twice a week and see the neuro-surgeon the 2nd of Feb. I hope he has good news.....

So my crafting has slowed way down.... however.....
I have been working on lots of afghans. They take a long time, but I am loving the results!!
Here is a Pride Afghan that I made for a friend of mine, I forgot to take pictures so he did for me. I am really into those mile-a-minute afghans at the moment... or actually anything that I can do in strips.




Well needless to say Madi was watching the progress of Terry's afghan and decided she wanted one. So I made her a smaller one in super bright colors. They do not show up well in the pics, but it is bright!!!! She wanted it so bad she would not let me hide my ends!!! She claims she wants it just the way it is... LOL the mind of a 7 year old.... gotta love her~




My friend Lissa got me yarn to make her an afghan and well after several patterns and frogging it over and over.... whala!!!! And afghan in a bag!!!!
Here it is in the bag:



Here a couple of different views...it is alot prettier than in the picture!!







then the cold spell hit..... minus 25 degrees.... ya know after awhile, cold is just plain cold!!!
So I got busy and Madison a new winter set. Hat, scarf, and mittens!! I was so thrilled when I actually made mittens!!!! The scarf is reversable. Again the yarn is a really bright variegated that actually matches her coat!



I have made quite a few other things but they were gifts and not thinking I forgot to get pictures......
I hope everyone is staying warm and enjoying their crafts this winter from hell......
