Where are the days going?

Well I'm back to work tomorrow.....my 6 days off flew by. I'll be in Frankfurt again. Yesterday Jordan's soccer team came to Pittsburgh to play at  Pitt. It was areally awful day....rainy and windy. The girls were drenched. I fed all 25 members of the team and staff....no small feat as I had to bring it to the field. Here is Jordan.....all wet.

I felt so bad for her, but she took it all in stride!

And here she is in action!

I'm still busy filling orders, I got 2 more at the hair salon on Thurs.

One is for the bunny hat, I've reworked the ears....they look better I think. And one was for a mini purse:

I love this colorway.

When I get back home Wed. Jordan and her roomate will be here for Easter break...I just love having the kids here. Her's and Jareds Birthday is on Sat...my babies will be 19. And Alex will be 22 on Easter Sunday. She isn't able to come home from school for it but will be home the following weekend so we'll celebrate then.

Yesterday....

On my way home from Frankfurt yesterday, one of my passengers was knitting the most beautiful baby blanket. It was all in cotton and she was using size 8 needles. It was soooo squishy and soft and bright airy! I want to make one.....sometime! She was using bright pink, yellow, green, blue and white. It was really quite something. I found a pattern here:

but this on calls for a smaller needle and isn't in those pretty colors.  This definitely is going in my notebook of things to knit......when I have the time!

I sold 7 mini bags this trip and have orders for 4 more so things are piling up around here. I also sold the fabulous red bracelet. A good week!

The best news I got was this morning....mom is finally coming home from the hospital tomorrow...after being in there for 13 days. Hopefully they will have all her medicine straightened out.
Ok that's all for now, its a rainy ugly day here at home so.....I'm off to fill my orders!

It's April Already :(

Boy, time keeps flying by! And I'm not getting much accomplished. My mom is back in the hopsital again...since April 1st when I took her for her checkup. I told her I wasn't going to the Dr anymore with her because everytime I do...he admits her. Good news...she is getting better!
My photographer friend sent me this wonderful photo of a baby in one of my owl hats...isn't it great!!!

I can't wait to see more!

Sales at work have been really good....the bracelet and mini purses are flying out the door so to speak. And I still have some orders so I haven't been able to come up with anything new recently...but they are in the works. The baby bear hat pattern is selling steadily on the internet. The Strawberry cocoon pattern is almost ready to put into print.  

I've been doing alot of reading recently...it seems all the library books I get are 7 day books. I  had 3 this past week. I really liked "Devious" by Lisa Jackson...just love her stories. And "These Things Hidden" by Heather Gudenkauf  was a good one too....kept my interest and didn't end how I thought.

Tomorrow I'm back to Frankfurt and home on Monday. Should be a nice relaxing trip....everything is closed there on Sundays so we will probably go for a nice walk, go to Happy Hour and then out to dinner....sounds good to me!
