I have been into jewelry making lately and this is my latest creation. I went up to the local AC Moore craft store today and they were having a HUGE 30% off sale on ALL jewelry and jewelry components. You cant beat that! Of couse I bought some stuff.
Here is my son playing outside. I caught him by surprise taking this picture from the inside of the house.
I have been speaking a lot about the STARRY NIGHT SHAWL class I am taking and I havent shown a picture of it. Here is the infamously difficult and challenging shawl. Isnt it pretty? Of course it is, thats why I am taking the class!
Here are some completed hexagons close up and at a distance. I have finished 3 and am currently working on the 4th one. Instead of working it on the 10" DPN's I decided to try making it by way of the magic loop. So far so good but I havent finished it yet. I am using Karabella's Vintage Cotton.
This week they are having all kinds of fun things going on at my DD's school and today was CRAZY HAIR DAY. I am not sure if it was as crazy as some of the other kids hair but it was the craziest I could do.
This is my black and tan mini doxie, Ernie, who is also turning 11 in November. I recently had the two oldest dogs teeth cleaned because they are old and the vet said if I was going to do it then I should do it now. Ernie has a heart murmur that they expect to get worse and Frank my other dog pictured below with Ernie is 12 and has some of the symptoms of Cushings Disease. Its very expensive to work up the dog just to get the diagnosis and the meds are equally expensive so the vet says as long as he is happy we will leave him be. If his symptoms get worse then I will worry about doing other things. All I know is that I love my doxies and I dont know what I would do if something happened to them. Also I think this picture qualifies for Project Spectrums June/July colors since the dogs are Red and Black!

Great picture of your daughter and son and little dollie, they are a couple of cute kids you've got! Wow great work with the shawl, looks really intricate and tricky to make, love the colour, well done, keep up the good work. Your daughter hair looks crazy to me but looks like a lot of fun, can't ever remember having anything like that when I was at school. Ernie and Frank look really cute and look well for their ages, it is always difficult and upsetting when our furry babies are unwell, cause they can't speak up and tell you. I think you are doing the right thing, waiting before putting them through traumas with the vets though, as long as they are happy and not in distress, A vet visit is traumatic on any dog, let alone when they are eldery. you'll know when the time is right to seek more vetinary examinations.
Thanks CC, everyone says that they look like me but I think they look like hubby. The shawl class is challenging and not boring at all like some stuff I have done. Right now is the easy part, making all the motifs. The hardest part will be when I have to kitchner it together! God help me! Oh, and I am sorry I didnt include the youngest of my doxies, Duncan. I figures it was a picture just for the old men! LOL
