wonderful Talladega weekend

When I last wrote I was really bummed we weren't going to 'Dega. But we had friends come down from KY and we have had a blast. David use to work for the same company I do only he worked at the warehouse, so we went to the big Charity yardsale/silent auction at my office yesterday and he got to see lots of people he knew, then we ran around Lebanon took his girlfriend, who I love Tammy, to the warehouse, and flea market, Lowes and Walmart. then we went to Gallatin last night and ate Chinese, came home and crashed, then today they are visiting some more of his old friends, I am so happy they feel comfortable here , maybe they will come more often.

Bobby and I are now enjoying the quiet watching the race stuff but it's raining here and 'Dega so I am on the net for a few and also doing laundry. This has been a busy but fun weekend. Gotta get back to by honey on the couch, he is feeling ignored by me with the computer....oh yeah I bought 2 tickets to Indy 500 yesterday at the silent auction, hopefully I'll be making my first sale on Ebay, I'll let ya'll know if I like selling as much as buying!!

yep, it's been a while

disapointed is a small word compared to how I feel about not going to one of my favorite places this week, for about 10 years it has been a vacation for us to be one of the idiot campers at Talladega, AL for the races, but since we are actively feeding 2 babies we couldn't go or so I keep telling myself. We are having friends here tho for the weekend, a couple of the guys who usually go too are coming here instead of going. since we have "the Spring" we'll be Dega partying at the spring, that way we are only a few feet away from all our kids and mama's. The Goats...
really had a fun weekend last weekend, had friends over Saturday and Family on Sunday, it's been really cool this week but warmer today and hopefully for the rest of the weekend. Storms for Saturday night and Sunday are predicted but maybe not!! hope ya'll have enjoyed a few of my pics, now maybe I can learn to add some other stuff as well. planning for my Daniel's Birthday next week, also going ot have Mother's day as well. kinda killing two birds with one stone so they say. well better get ready for bed, since I'm not on vacation as usual this time of year this week I gotta go to work, yuck...Happy Knitting and GO Dale JR!!

The perfect view, our condo on the beach last summer in Destin, FL, this was wonderful to wake up toeach and every morning!! 

MY STASH, Well most of it. 

my version of the prayer shawl, out of Lion incredable ribbon, it only cost $80 bucks to make, yep, but I love it and have had so many compliments, maybe at that price it'll last forever! I do think it is beautiful tho, the pic really doesn't do it justice. 

a ball of silk yarn it took me two weeks to unravel a sweater I got for 50 cents from Goodwill, think I'll make a shawl out of it for this summer, to the left of it is my 1st felt project. it is a knitted bag and instead of shrinking it expanded 3 times... 

a bag I made from nylon twine. besied it one I made from Lion Brand cotton 

Daniel and the most spoiled goat in the world, "
Underdog" cause he crawls under the fence when he sees us in the yard, his mama dies when he was born so he does think we are his parents. He has been bottle fed since birth 

my pride and joy 8 year old almost 9 Daniel 

my version of the well traveled bag, I felted way too much but it was fun to tote, I did another one but it isn't felted yet, think I will do a yarn handle tho 

this is Angie's shawl I finally finished 

has it really been that long?

Sorry everyone for not posting sooner! I have been a little under the weather and we have had some really bad weather, when that happens I unplug this baby so it won't get shocked. I finally finished that shawl, ti turned out beautiful and she even has worn it so Mama did GOOD. now what to do next? I bought some cotton yarn to make a top but no pattern that I like has turned up, all those "new" ebay needles and nothing to do...had my grandson last Wednesday, Thursday and took him home Friday we had sooo much fun! Mawmaw and Papa just love to be with him, had the whole family Saturday for Easter lunch since Daniel will be with his mother next weekend. We all had a good time Saturday inspite of all the storms and heartaches families we going thru only a few miles away, think that is why we all enjoyed it so we realize we need to live every minute together we can!
