I'm making another Crochet Dude hat, the beret. This thing looks so different in person than it does in the little booklet. My niece is visiting for three weeks (we are one week in, almost.....well really, we're about five days in. But I digress. LOL) and she liked those berets up there on my dresser, so I offered to make her one. She chose Ivory, isn't that pretty sitting there? It's gonna be pretty all done up, too.........
Y'all have a great day.
Well, I bought my first Christmas ornament this year......... ha! The only surprise there is that it's taken so long, frankly. I love my Christmas tree, and buy ornaments for it all the time. I mark every occasion with an ornament for the tree. Whenever I do something fun, or go somewhere, I try to get an ornament. Putting up my tree is all about memories. So anyway, when Jon showed me this at Hobby Lobby, I had to have it. I love music, and I love it loud! LOL This is one of my favorite sayings........ Ha! Always make me think of my Mom "Turn that music down!" Now my boys say it............. poor little fuddy duddies............ 
Ah, those plans won't change. I told my son, Tim, that we would go back to Six Flags before school starts. After all, we have season passes now, and the last trip, we really didn't get to do a whole lot. So Tim and Jon and I will go. Of course, today on yahoo, I see this article, and wouldn't you know it? But heck, how many of these rides go off every day without a hitch? So we'll still go, and I may even go on one of those crazy roller coasters. I used to love them when I was younger, and I bet I could handle one or two even now. Ha! We'll see.
I am working on the 38th row on this Patriotic Granny. I am finding my calling it Glory. It looks prettier and prettier, in my opinion. I do love red, white, and blue. I need to finish the white, then do the blue on this repeat, then see how it looks. Maybe it'll get another repeat, maybe not. Depends how it fits the table. I plan to do something simple on the edge, just a few rows of doubles and some picots maybe. It should be done pretty soon. I may make something 'fall'-y after that. Thinking about a little scarecrow from Crochet World. I have all those pumpkins from last year.....
That's what I paid for this little cutie here. Walmart is clearancing out it's summer furniture. Half-price! Cool, huh. I had a little patio table out there, it's a foldable one, and I've been looking for chairs for it. That's what I was doing in the garden section. So I just folded up that old table and put it up for when I next go to the park. Y'all head on down there, they've got all kinds of fun patio furniture on clearance, ya need anything?
I tell you, Granny Fever is taking me over. For years, I have only been marginally interested in grannies, but these days, I love them. I've made a lot of Granny things, and I enjoy every one of them. In fact, I look for more things to make with Grannies. I think I'll be making Grannies for a while.
Y'all have a great day!
Happy Fourth of July, y'all. It's been nice for me. I have the boys, and we are all having a great time. Life is good. Life in America is good. We forget how good we have it here in America, and then I talk to some of my friends, who are not American, but they are refugees here, and I hear what they go through. Life is good in America, y'all.
I took the boys to Six Flags, or Fiesta Texas, or whatever you call it. It's Six Flags in San Antonio. We got Season Passes, it didn't make sense not to. It's open all year down here, and Season Passes are less than two visits, so you do save money. It opens the possibility of visiting again in the next year. We'll do that, I'm sure. We were disappointed that the fireworks show was without fireworks. There was a video and laser part, but it really wasn't the same. Then it was pointed out to me that SOMEBODY WILL do something stupid, you know they will, and many people will suffer. And I realized, as much as I hate the fireworks ban here in Texas, it is necessary. I decided to quit moaning about it. I'll just enjoy my hot dogs and watermelon. Ha
Sadly, I am not good with money. Maybe it's the fact that I grew up with nothing, and always wanted what my friends had. Maybe it's that I just wish I were rich, and I like nice things a little too much. Maybe it's that I just don't want to put the effort into it. Whatever I say about it, I know it's just excuses, excuses......... so I've made a decision. I am going to concentrate on saving. I have no savings account. None. That's terrible. I make pretty good money. I'm not rich, but I do okay, and could save. So I am making a decision that I will make a point to save.
