More Hats & Thrift Shop Finds

Hello all, and happy Monday to you!  Hope your week is off to a great start!  All is well here.  I am on my last day of an antibiotic for a sinus infection and bronchitis.  Still coughing and blowing, but feeling better than I had been.  Whew!

I’ve been busy making hats.  A friend of a friend wanted a Mickey and Minnie hat for her twins’ first birthdays.  This is what I came up with.  Hope she likes them! This was the first time I put braids on a hat.  Can’t really say that I enjoyed the process.  LOL

My daughter wanted a John Deere hat made for Lawson, since he has a cute JD jacket.  Well, you know me, I can’t make a hat for one grandson and not the other.  Next up will be a pink JD hat for Miss Adelyn. This picture is of my husband, Clayton and Lawson.  I was acting like a doofus behind the camera trying to get Lawson to smile.  Seems to have worked on the other two as well.  LOL

Now for some thrift store finds from last week.

I absolutely love vases, and couldn’t resist this pretty flowered one. I got it for 79 cents.

I also have a thing for pink lately, and I thought this plate was pretty.  Turned out it was half off, so I got it for a quarter.  This plate, and the above vase, I got at the new Salvation Army store.

These next goodies were more expensive as I got them at Good Will.  Our Good Will store does not have cheap prices, compared to a lot of GW stores. I thought this would make a pretty vase.

And this would, too.

Last, but not least, this pretty pitcher.  Love it!

Hats….and a Doily

Hello all!  Hope this finds your week off to a great start!  All is well here.  Thought I’d share the hats I’ve been working on.  The three girly ones went to my granddaughter today, and I made each of the boys a “woodsy” colored one. The pics aren’t the greatest as the lighting hasn’t been the greatest. But without further ado…here are the hats!

And here is Lawson wearing his when it was time for him to go home today.  He did not want it on.  LOL

And here is the doily.  The pattern was the middle blue part, and then I continued on with the rest by myself.  Fun!

2014 Nature Photo Book

I’ve been getting lots of crocheting done lately (which I will share with you once I take pictures), and the digital layouts for my nature photo book is another thing I’ve been keeping busy with. Rick’s on 12 hour shifts, so that means when he is home he needs to sleep…therefore I try to be as quiet as possible.  Crocheting and working on digital layouts keeps me quiet!  LOL  Here are the pages that will be in my 8x8 photo book, once I get it printed.

I have lots more nature pictures, but will have to wait and include them in my 2014 annual photo book.  Yes, I take a ton of pictures.  LOL

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a great week!!
