New yarn

At Joann's I found a new yarn. I'm not sure how long it's been out but, it is SO soft! I'm not sure if you are familiar with Deborah Norville (Inside Edition) but, she has come out with her own brand of yarn like Vanna did. I did not get any but, I did pick it up and felt it. Even the chunky yarn feels so soft and warm. I'll bet it would make one heck of a warm blanket or shawl for the winter. I will have to try a couple of skeins at some point. For investigative purposes naturally. lol Actually, I do have a couple of 40% and 50% off coupons. I think it runs around $3.29 a skein. Hmmm...I'll have to think this one over.

Have a wonderful night.

Until next time...

New Brady pic

Roger is REALLY starting early with all of this Red Sox stuff. lol I can't believe Brady is 2 weeks old already! I mentioned something about brain washing and he said he wasn't. Brain washing is Amanda trying to get him to be a Patriots fan. SIGH! Notice the red, white and blue shirt. You gotta love it! Also, notice whose pic is bigger. This is going to be interesting! LMAO I am not a sports fan so, I really don't care. I just like starting a lot stuff.



I sent the box to Debra at SUNY yesterday. I think I forgot about the post office lobby being open after hours. I was going to go Saturday but it rained so hard I didn't want to go out just to mail a box. I took it with me when Rachel and I went to get groceries and sure enough, I was able to go in. They have a machine to weigh packages and things that I use. It's so much faster than going inside to the counter.



I hope all of the fathers had a good day yesterday. Doug wanted hamburgs cooked on the grill with mac salad. So, Rachel and I made homemade mac salad, deviled eggs, onion rings and cooked up bacon for the burgers. YUM! It was cloudy all day until later on but, at least it didn't rain.

Until next time...

I got my quilt back

There is a woman close by named Susan Crane at From Tops..To Quilts. She does quilting part time out of her home. What a beautiful job she did! I am very happy with how this turned out. I still have to put the binding on and then it's done. :o)

Here's a pic of the quilt I did for Brady. I am banking that they forgot about my blog and are focused on taking care of Brady. lol

This is the front..

this is the back..
and I tried to get a close up of the quilting she did. They are baby items..bibs, spoons, feet, hands, bottles, rattles, etc. It is so cute! lol I hope Roger and Amanda like it.

I hope to bring it down with us instead of mailing down. We are going down July 8th and coming home on Sunday the 12th. We are very excited not so much about Florida in July but, hey! lol

That's it for now.

Until next time...

Reposting SUNY info

It is more for me than anything. I suppose I could print out the info but, quite frankly, I have more than enough printed out and really don't need any more. lol Besides, it could very well help as a reminder to others as well.

We made it half way through the week! Amazing!

This was made with the Micro Burial Bunting pattern. There is a hat pattern included with the pattern and this hat is that pattern. I will made one more this week and then send the box out next weekend. The shower at SUNY will be June 25th and this will give me 12 hats one Preemie Shell Angel Gown. (This is Beth Parsons pattern. Thank you Beth) and 2 buntings to send up.

The thunder storms and rain have moved out and today is suppose to be a less humid and a sunny day. Although we had the storms roll through yesterday, it was later in the day so we had a chance in the morning to get the lawn mowed and cook steaks on the grill for dinner in plenty of time.

We watched the movie TAKEN while we had dinner. What a great movie! Liam Neeson is in it. If you get a chance to watch it, I highly recommend it. It held my attention until the end and a lot of movies don't do that for me.

That's it for now. Have a Sunsational Sunday!

Until next time...

Snagged another photo

Keep on taking those pics Roger and Amanda! I'll keep snagging them! LOL

This is my oldest son Roger and Brady. This is his lab Tucker. He's 7 yrs old now. They got home from the hospital around 1:00 this afternoon. Everyone is doing fine. Amanda is a little sad she can't go in the pool for 6 weeks. I told her she can get her legs wet. Small consolation I think. It has been in the 90s down there. Rog said it is June and it is Florida and it is summer. Yep! That's why I won't move down there! What we have been having is enough for me!

We have our hotel and flight reservations made as of tonight. Instead of going down on Thursday, we're going down on Wednesday and coming back on Sunday. We will take Wednesday as a rest day and head on over on Thursday. The hotel has a shuttle service and it's about 5 mins from their house, so it makes sense taking advantage of that. I do not feel comfortable driving in Tampa. It is a BIG city. The streets are BIG. I thought only Texas had BIG. lol Nope! I had actually thought of walking over but, if it's that hot, I think I'll pass.

Wednesday is almost over and we are almost over the hump. Yes people...the weekend is near again! Yippee! The light at the end of the tunnel. Enjoy the rest of your week!

Until next time...

Little Brady is here!

Coming into the world at 3:49 this afternoon, Brady came out weighing 8.6 lbs and 20" long. Both Mom and baby are doing fine and so is Dad. Roger said he will call a little later on tonight. I can't wait to see some pics. If I can get Roger to send me some through email, I may be able to get them to post.

Doug and I will be going down July 9th and coming back July 12th. That is my long weekend and I have been approved to take those 2 days off. It will be great. I have not seen Roger and Amanda in so long anyway. It will be great to see everyone.

Have a wonderful night.

Until next time...
