Update, FO's, Patterns & Doggies

Well I seem to keep missing my Thursday DoT posts, so I"ll add a pic or two of the girls towards the end. That will change too.

My Lisa Designs group over at ravelry has been busy lately as the moderator and designer herself, Lisa Gentry, has published a new e-pattern book... called Hooked For 30 Days - 30+ Crochet Designs In 30 Days. Each day she will be adding a new pattern to the e-book . Today she is half way there.

I have done 2 patterns from this new e-book so far...Here is "Wishy Washy Dishcloth"

Just so happen to be Memorial Day weekend so I did mine in Red, White & Blue.

Here is one of the projects I got to name and adopt-Oasis Painted Pedi Socks

First time for me working with a stretch yarn, but I used Patons Stretch Socks in Plum. They turned out really nice and fit like a glove and are very comfy. I just printed out a couple more of the patterns as I get the updates everyday.

I"ll be doing "Save the Humans Market Bag" next, just need to pick a color cotton to work with.

Now another FO and my second pair of actual socks. Sweet Feet done in gypsyknits, sock it yarn colorway called "Galaxy".

I had intended to make these just to see if I could, especially seeings that I had to convert UK to US stitches..easier then I thought and there is the proof.

Sylvie at work fell in love with them, she likes greens too :) So I had her model them and unfortunately only had the camera on my cell phone to take the pic. Very easy pattern and I, me, actually read a chart pattern. I'm thrilled to death and can say Lisa's group and her patterns helped me there! So you can still teach an old dog new tricks..lol and Sylvie got to keep the socks :)

Now I'll be doing the Sweet Feet again, for me in my colors, Lord knows I have lots of sock yarn here.

Now I thought I had more pic to show but they must still be on the camera, so we'll go right to the girls....boy have they been great! Lady has managed to climb over the gate every morning so we picked up another travel type water bowl so she is not without water. So far she hasn't chewed it up..lol Lady won't climb back over like she did the first time, so I'm thinking she may have hurt herself some. She's funny, when we get ready to leave in the morning she'll sit by the gate and some mornings Mike will just let her upstairs, knowing she'll climb over anyways. Coco keeps an eye on Lady, but from downstairs, they do have lots of toys to keep them occupied, though things will change soon there too.

When we're home they do everything possible to stay with us, as soon as we getup, they sit or lay..lol

Like Lady here..I got up and she got in.

When I'm in the kitchen I have my shadows. They are

wherever I am, though this particular day they were under my feet so bad I said in a really loud voice "girls, out of the kitchen" and this is where I found them.

They were still kinda in the same area, just out of the way..I hated to keep stepping on them but I guess they understood..such smart animals.

They won't have to feel like shadows anymore cause last week I was told that tomorrow, June 1, I am put to part time. Kinda sucks, but at least I still have a partial job. It'll only hurt a while money wise, but for the girls its great!

So that means I should be back to posting regularly, I hope. Well, if you made it this far, Than you for stopping by my little corner of the world. Do hope you all have a great week ahead. Make it a good one!
