Still Crocheting...

Here are some more finished things I crocheted.

Merry-go-round dishcloths:

Bubble dishcloth:

Can't find the scarf and hat patterns I used for these. I don't think I downloaded them, might have just had them on the screen of my laptop while I crocheted them. The yarn is a very soft mill end I got at Joann's. 

Slippers for woman:

We'll be headed back to Kentucky before the end of the month but before we go, our older son is coming down to see us tomorrow (in Florida) for a quick visit. It will be great to see him and it will be nice for him because Kentucky is having a very cold spell this weekend.

I've been doing the A to Z Challenge 2016. It's interesting and I'm finding a few interesting blogs to read. Check it out for some interesting reading.

This is it for now folks!

Hugs, Sharon

F is for "Foreigner"

I am having quite a difficult time picking out what to post for this a to z challenge. Anyway, today I'm sharing with you some music from the band Foreigner. Their music is timeless and is as relevant today as it was when they first performed these songs.

E is for Eagles

One of my favorite bands since forever has to be the Eagles. Today I'm sharing a video clip that has several of their great songs for our listening enjoyment.

"D" Is for My Darling Dog...

My darling dog is officially known as Nellie Belle. We call her Nellie,  or sometimes Belle-Belle. She's a chubby Chihuahua. Our human kids are grown and gone so Nellie Belle is the only thing keeping us from being empty nesters. She's a sweet and cuddly little girl. She is very protective of her home turf and puts on a fierce act when she feels her territory is threatened. She is more show than anything and has never bitten anyone in her 10 years except for the bottom of my pant leg when she needed to go outside and go potty. Here's a few pics of my darling Belle.

Crochet Updates

Yep, more dishcloths but also a hat and scarf set too. Here we go!

More chrysanthemum dishcloths:

Flower power dishcloths:

Hat and scarf set:

The yarn I used here is a reflective yarn. 

I don't have a pattern per se. I found a hat pattern that I thought I liked but when I tried to make it, the pattern did not match up with the pictures that the designer showed. I ended up basing my creation partially on the pattern and partially on my imagination. The scarf is based on another pattern. Yep, you're right, a dishcloth pattern that I modified to create the scarf.

 That's all for now folks!

"C" is for Casper the Friendly Ghost

I am having a hard time coming up with things for these blog posts. Hmmm, I even googled "words that start with C." Crochet would have been an obvious choice for my blog but I wanted to be a little less predictable. Here's what I've come up with for today's post--Casper the Friendly Ghost! Casper is another of those things from my childhood that brings back happy time memories of watching the ol' black and white television set that you had to physically turn the dial to change channels because remote controls didn't exist. Even though many of these cartoons are in color, people back in the old days didn't run out and get the newest gadgets until the old ones broke and were beyond repair. I hope you enjoy these Casper videos.

"B" is for Bozo

A popular children's show when I was a tiny little girl was Bozo the Clown. A friend's mother got tickets for the show so a group up us went to Chicago to be part of the audience. I was so shocked-- I thought Bozo's clothes were red but they were actually blue. That's what happens sometimes when you watch shows on black and white television sets. When you're in the audience, you didn't get to watch the cartoons but there were other games that the kids played. I didn't get picked for any of the games but I did go home with a Bozo button and I wish I still had it.

"A" Is for Adaptable

"A" is for adaptable and being able to come up with solutions outside of the box. A quick solution to not having a hammer handy to hang a decorative plate on the wall with is a meat tenderizing hammer! I used the side of it and it worked great.

The Snowbird Master Bath is Finished!

Yep, the title is correct--husband has finished the master bathroom redo! Remember the ugly, outdated and dilapidated old bathroom?

Here's the new look moving in a clockwise direction--

There was limited room for a couple of towel bars so we decided to go with hooks that hubby mounted on a board with the edges routered.

Floor is linoleum but it has a nice, rustic wood look to it.

Shower view 1

Shower view 2

This is a very deep linen cupboard (almost 30"). Under it is room for a hamper

Mirror over vanity.

Wanted a secure mirror so mounted directly to wall with a couple screws and anchors. Unfortunately, the screws were ugly. What we came up with was a couple gold buttons with their shanks removed and then glued over the screws! Pretty classy look to it.

Vanity 

Medicine chest

You know what this is :)

New door.

This is it for now. Time to take it easy until next winter's projects. Thanks for stopping in.

Hugs,
