A Few More Weekend FO's

A few more projects actually finished. No brainers. Ready for a TygerLily wrap!

Updating My Lazy Photo Habit

I warned you that Bill was on a roll - painting and all. What a suprise THIS was coming home last night! Straight out of a Christmas Carol, don't you think? He got a lot done and finished up this evening with the bulk of the painting. LABOR DAY

Here are all us old farts, and Heidi. :) The Cole's are traveling across a great deal of territory and were able to stop here in Lincoln over the Labor Day weekend. Here we are after having a great brat lunch by their RV, or should I say HOME!

Pictured are sister-in-law Doris and my brother Jim, don't know who the couple is in the middle, just know they kept saying they needed a nap after such a big lunch, and then brother-in-law Julian and my sister Donna along with Heidi.

This is the August mystery dishcloth. Needless to say I was quite disappointed in the design.
And no one gets to touch my YARN HO!
Here is a satchel that I will be felting at some point and lining. Pretty excited about this one.
And here is the shawl update.......... working toward the center back. Then will come the long and tedious part once this little mid-section is done.

I just HAVE to blog....

Here is our oldest granddaughter, Abby, starting off her fall season of soccer with the Bengals (same as spring time). They won, and by such a high margin, I can't even remember! They did so good and have such a neat little team. She really enjoys this - and it's fun watching her play.
And low and behold, Tyler's old roommate Brian (some of you will remember him as the cow on Halloween) stopped over with their new baby Saturday. Here is Brian and Carter, who is two months old. He is such a proud papa - of course we offered to babysit when they need. Talk about a baby that is ALL boy!
Here sits the rest of my knitted dishcloths. Three are done, one needs ends woven in. Carole, I hope you can use these!!!!!

Decided to order the color I tried subbing in the Icelandic Shawl as they had been out when I originally ordered. The blue in the picture of yarn I posted earlier just bothered me. They e-mailed me this weekend saying the medium gray was available now, so I'm on hold till that comes in. Which is fine.

I need to think of something to knit in red, for the women's heart disease awareness. Any ideas on something that would be simple and I could give away?

The weekend was terrific. Along with babies and soccer, we did go to the State Fair and had a riot!!!!! We enjoyed the Nebraska Lottery booth where I got to show that an old lady CAN play Guitar Hero and beat the youngin's once in awhile. I got 2 free scratch off lottery tickets just for playing the way I did! WoooooHOOOOOO We have never really gone alone without small children, and we have to say that evaluating all we did on our drive home, we have one heck of a great time. :)

Hope all of you are doing good.
