Want to start off by saying Happy Mother's Day. Hope everyone have a great Mother's Day. Start off with a update from Nesa she is doing ok she had a little virus that took it's course YAY so she was in the hospital for 48 hours and then she was doing great. Happy she back home. A quick update I only got to do a little sewing have more sewing to do this week. I got to do my girls a quick night-gown. Patter is by McCalls 9649 Nesa's night gown I did long shorts the pattern ask for short shorts but, Nesa wanted it long. It also ask for a drawn string Nesa didn't want that. So I put a little elastic in it. She didn't want any sleeves in her shirt and she wanted a long shirt so she could wear it as a long gown also. WOW Nesa is smart lol. She was helping me the whole time with her gown. Nellie's I did some mistakes I did a small when I should have done a x-small for her little tiny butt lol. But, She still wanted to wear it. Here they both are. :) I am working on...

Just when I thought things was looking up. We have been home with no problem with Nesa being admitted to the hospital since January. We come for her to get her blood drawn 2 to 3 times a week grrr but, we have to do it. She sees her transplant liver doctor once a week. Grr but, have to do it. Everything was looking good. They said, something about a biopsy a couple of times but, then Nesa's blood work improved over night or in 2 days so that biopsy will be canceled. Until yesterday Nesa goes to the nurse's office at school saying she not feeling good. Her temp 100.5. I call her liver doctor's nurse they said, don't give her anything and they want to see if her fever can go down on it's own. Nope about 2 hours later I get a call from my mom because my mom had Nesa. Saying Nesa temp is now 101.9 so I rush to leave school and now we is at the hospital since yesterday. As of today they have done ultrasound, chest x-ray, blood work to find out why this fever came along. ...

This weekend has been hecked so I wasn't able to get a lot done as I thought I would. I did get some crocheting done. I can't tell you how much I have missed making things. I like the finish projects and like how calm and relaxing crocheting does. I was able to finish that girlie baby blanket that has the crochet edging going around it. It came out so pretty love the outcome to it. I brought 2 yards of the fabric 1 yard on each side with the crochet edging sandwich right between the fabric. I picked a thinner fabric so it's more of a receiving blanket then a blanket since it will be getting warmer outside dont want anything to thick when summer comes. On 2 sizes of the blanket I have pink, green then on the other 2 sides I have green, pink. The stitches is small shell stitches that worked up quickly. I measured the sides by chaining and using the chain row to measure how many stitches I needed. Used I - hook Yarn Caron Simply Soft limelight and soft pink. If you look at the...

After all these months I finally get to say I have some WIP projects. Well working on some long term and short term projects. I went looking on Ravelry looking at a few of my low term projects that I want to finish up. Like this Tropico Afghan that I started back in August that I wanted to finish for Christmas for my mom but, now I will have to try to finish it before her bday June. She don't know I am making it for her all this time I have kept it a secret so she will be really suprise when I give it to her. I've made plenty of squares but, here is what I am working on from a cross stitch book. This was the work in progress the last time I took pictures so hoping to come along soon. I just haven't been putting together the squares just crocheting them up first. Now here is another long term project I've been on and off working on since February 2009 OMG that's been awhille lol. Here is when I had about 50% done but, now I would say I have 75% done. When I am fina...

WOW it's been awhile since I logged on. I've been so busy everyone. Nesa was in the hospital for the whole month of January due to rejection but, she is doing better now. To make a long story short she is back in school. She is more happy YAY. We home more now then before. I've been working and school been taking up a lot of my time. Don't get in much crocheting. But, I have been teaching 3rd graders up to the 5th graders how to crochet at my kids after school program. One day back in January I got a call from the person that runs the afterschool program asking me questions about crocheting and all. He found out about me though Nesa and Nellie's teachers because in the pass I've been them things and they remember me. So I got a job from word by mouth. YAY lol. The girls are getting the hang of it. Well some of the girls. Oh before I started teaching the girls at the school. I went ahead and taught Nesa first. So now my baby is 7 years old and not how to chain an...
