It's been forever since I've update my blog. Summer is just flying by and it seems like I haven't done even half the things I planned to do. The girls are already planning school clothes and supplies and we haven't even gone on vacation yet!
I've been having fun completing some long overdue projects. Just finished a Luna Moth shawl which will be a shower gift for my future daughter in law Bekah. I think it will look lovely with her strapless gown.
Why does a two year old look this great first thing in the morning?
Why does a three year old wear a plastic container on her foot for an entire morning?
Can you tell these two are cousins? Man they look alike!
Received a fantastic Swap package from my partner in the Say Goodbye to Winter Swap at the High Fiber Diet Group. Isn't it all just perfect?
Haven't posted for quite awhile. We've been busy installing a new oak kitchen. Still have all the floors, trim and window seal to do. I love it.
One bored three year old and two empty laundry baskets...
This was after we had a lovely morning outside catching snowflakes on our tongues. Onya says they taste like icing! She also loved making tracks in the snow on the trampoline.
We had a pretty heavy frost over the weekend. Do ya think these guys are pretty well insulated?
Our new alpacas arrived last night. On the left is Romeo who is a darling Suri baby and on the left is his buddy Puffy. Aren't they just the cutest?
It's Fall here at the Bable's. I decorated Beth's Senior sign out at the end of the driveway. We got a lot of pumpkins and gourds this year.
Still alive in Hat Attack 2 and I'm amazed. Broken arm and all I'm keeping up. Just sent out my second hat in today's mail. It was completed to picture below when it arrived yesterday.
Even though we've been without power (thanks Ike) I got my hat done for Hat attack.
manage to break my left wrist... it's going to be a really nice lazy summer!
I have become a spinamaniac! Katie's modeling an alpaca hat made from fiber graciously (yeah right) donated by her alpaca Colosus. I love spinning and it has become quite the thing for me to do in order to get some "me" time.
Cathi, her hubby Mel, Wayne and I attended Stitch and Pitch at the Pittsburgh Pirates game. The Pirates lost but we had a super time. Got a lovely sunburn, the rain held off and much knitting done. Met some lovely knitters and some gals doing crochet, had lovely chats and even got to eat supper out! Many thanks to my wonderful daughter Jackie for taking charge at home!
I've been so terrible at keeping up with my blog this summer. We recently adopted our ten year old Sierra and got a new foster placement. D is a cute little nine year old who keeps me quite busy. She's decided she is staying with us so I think adoption number five will take place sometime next summer...
Mike, Karrie and Kat came up to visit for the 4th. Kat had a great time eating Oreos on Thursday night with the girls. She's growing up so darned fast.
Decided I needed to get some of my acrylic stash used up. I am hoping to make each of our adult children a Babette Blanket for Christmas. This one is for Ben and Crystal.
Western Reserve Knitting Guild will be knitting Sheep next month. Here's one of my samples. Isn't she the cutest knitter ever?
Had to show off this hysterical card our friends, Mel and Cathi got Wayne for his birthday!
