Looking Back and Happy New Year!

All throughout the year I work on my digital pages for my yearly Memories photo book.  I recently finished the last of my pages, which are my crochet pages.  I like to do collages of my crocheted things, and add them in at the back of the book.  Thought I’d share my pages with you. There are some crocheted items not shown as I forgot to get pics of them before I gave them away as gifts.  lol  Last night I told my husband that when I see these pages, I think I realize why my house is so dusty.  *grin*

Merry Christmas!

Hello friends!  I realize it has been a month since I have posted, but never fear for I am here!  lol  I’ve been busy doing lots of crocheting, but believe it or not I forgot to take pics of some of the things before I wrapped them for Christmas presents!  Oopsie!  Perhaps I’ll get some pics after Christmas of the gifts and their recipients. I do have one little ditty to share with you…my spaghetti and meatballs! I made a few things for the grandkids to play with in their playroom, and this is one of them.  I also made ravioli, and jars of mayo and jam (or whatever their imagination wants the jars to be). Forgot to take pics of those things though. I didn’t use a pattern for these food items, just set my hook to flying and this is what I came up with.

I sent out a few Christmas cards this year, and the following is the Christmas letter I enclosed with them.  Short and sweet and to the point.

And here are a couple pics of my precious grandchildren.  These were taken on Thanksgiving Day. They are 7, 5 and the littlest one will be 2 on Christmas Eve.
