A rainy & cool day in WV

All it did was rain most of the today. Bob & I went shopping in Man to get a few things for the house.
I did not find 1 item that I have been looking for 3 weeks to finish up a birthday gift. So, I do not know what or how I am going to make it.

It was damp and cool here....the dogwoods are blooming and we are under a freeze warning for Monday night and morning. Last week it was hot--like summer and now it's going to be cold for a day! I am hoping that it kills some of the bugs and maybe the snakes want go back under ground to stay warm! We have already had a few snakes around our house.

I am almost finish with my niece's crochet ripple afghan that is getting VERY HEAVY because i am using 3 strands of yarn. I will have it done in a couple of days...thank goodness then I will return to work on my sister's corn cob stitch afghan. 

I have not been sleeping very good. Only a few hours a night. Tomorrow hubby is getting up at 5 am....I am tempted to sleep on the couch that way I will not bother him. He has had a migraine all day.

So, tomorrow night i will be bringing back in all of my pots including my strawberry pot that Bob got me when we were in NC a few weeks ago. Then I will be covering up my bulbs and etc that are in my flower beds.

well, that's it for today!

Making 2 new afghans

The first afghan is for my niece......it is a crochet ripple done with 3 strands of yarn so she will be nice a warm for her first new home. It is done in the brown tones that her mom told me that will match her living room furniture.









 





The second afghan is for my sister.....the colors are Blue and Yellow for WVU! This one is done in the corn cob stitch afghan. It will be light enough for her legs but warm enough to keep her warm when she is lying on the couch.This one is 1/3 finish....maybe she will get it for her birthday or for Christmas which is 3 days later! LOL
