Slow Sunday

Good morning!
Well the wedding was nice but it was cold!!! The sun that was supposed to shine did not show until well after the wedding was over. Dang it. Matt said Sandra probably didn't notice the cold because she was on cloud 9. How sweet. He is so in love with her. I wish them all the best for a long happy life together.

So...after the wedding I came home, let Mr. Lick Lick out and changed my clothes. I then put Mr. Lick Lick back in the cage, and boy he was not happy, and headed out to the swap meet. I met up with 3 of my BG sisters. It was fun. Cin let me ride her bike in the slow race. I tried to use T's bike but it was too light of a bike and just didn't feel right. Cin's bike is about the same weight and bulk as mine so it felt more comfortable. I won the first round but lost the second. Oh well...it was all in fun. I wish I had taken my bike but I did not. I need to get out in my driveway and smooth it out. I have ginormous ruts from all the rain we got this winter. More rain forecasted for today. Anyways...I had a good time with good friends and that's what it's all about. I could forget about my problems for awhile and just be me with my sistah's. I desperately needed that.

Well, I guess I best get up from here and do something. Have a wonderful Sunday...Monday is not far away.

Tempting Thursday

Oh, it's almost time for playing hooky! Crocheting that is. :o)

I finished the placemats and I even made ties to go on them! I don't have time to post the pics now, I'll have to do it tomorrow. Plus my camera batteries are not good enough to download the pics but I think you'll like them. I love them! I would love to get something like this for a wedding present! I also had a little bit of yarn left to make this thingy, don't know what you would call it but it's a tie with a flower at the end of it and it ties up the envelope instead of licking the licky yuck! (I don't even think Mr. Lick Lick would like it.....matter of fact I know he wouldn't!) I was so pleased with myself! And I haven't seen another one like it, not to say there isn't one, but I have been scouring the net for patterns and haven't seen anything close to it. I can't wait to get the pics posted for you!

I need to post a pic of Mr. Lick Lick don't I? Oh...let me look right now for one. There's my Mr. Lick Lick! His real name is Leo, named after Leon Russell but with the n left off, obviously. Leo was my dogs, PeeWee and Misty, son. I had to put down Misty in 07 because of cancer and I just recently (three weeks ago) put down Pee. I am still in mourning over him......I miss him terribly. But anyways....Leo is going to be 12, oh Lord...next Tuesday! Leo belonged to my best friend, Jeff, who passed away at the early age of 46 in September of 08, and I inherited Leo. He was the only pup of my P&M that I got to see grow up and knew his whole life. And now he is mine again. I don't know what I would do without my little lick lick now that Pee is gone. I so don't want to think about when Leo has to leave me, so I'm not going to.

Anyways...Mr. Lick Lick lays next to me when I'm hookin. He interrupts me when I'm hookin. He steps on my yarn when I'm hookin. But I still love him.

So...now that my wedding project is done I started working again on my plum hat that used to be two slippers. I was so bummed. The day I put Pee down I started a pair of slippers, just for me! I followed this great pattern and actually had them both finished that day (I hooked with a vengence that day) except for the heels (have I told you that I HATE heels and I cannot hook them?) and I tried them on and they both did not fit! Even though I had every so often tried them on as I went and they did fit!! What's up with that??? So I pulled them apart and left the yarn for a few days. I started a hat after and I've picked it up a few times and put it back down. But now I think I will be finishing it in the next day or so. I can't wait. The first thing I have hooked for myself! (I'll probably end up giving it away.....)

So.......where ever you are I hope it's all good. C U soon! K xoxox

ps/that's my bike next to Leo..... :o) just in case you were wondering.
