Halloween 2010

Joanne's first Halloween. She had fun hanging out on the porch giving out candy.

Good Morning Grandma

Since Grandma was not feeling well enough to come and visit today, here are some pictures and a video of Joanne this morning.

Fun at the fair

Here is Miss J and I waiting for daddy to eat his deep fried cookie something at the fair on Tuesday night. She loved all the colors and the crowds did not scare her at all. She turned 5 months on Wednesday. Seems to be just flying by already. Can't wait to see her in her ladybug outfit for Halloween.

My WIP Mission

After Mike asked me the other day, "When are you going to finish that Mondrian afghan you started for the fair?" Ok, I started the thing 3 years ago now. I am all done except for the red block and a few white squares. Off of the top of my head, I believe that there are around 250 red two round granny squares left in the red block. Just have not been able to face them. But I do believe it is time to finish the thing and have it ready for the fair next year. Since this year's fair ends on Sunday I have over a year to complete my mission. I will pull the finished pieces out of the tote this weekend and take some pictures to post.

It was a dry year for me at the fair this year with my entries. No ribbons this time. The judges love the tiny lacy stuff on the baby items but I just can't work with a hook smaller than a F. So that puts me out of the loop there. If I had finished my felted purse I might have gotten something. Only three entries in that category this year. Could have done a better stuffing job on my safety barrel so he would have looked better. Oh well, will have to try again next year.
