This Is a picture of the sweater, hat, and booties I made for my great niece being born in August




These Are Pictures of the Blanket, Dress, Gym Shoes, and Diaper cover I made for my great niece who will be born in August

I went to the shower on April 20TH. I had to really hurry and get things done in time for the shower since it was in April and the baby won't be born until August. The parents live in Texas and I think they decided it was better to fly earlier in the pregnancy. The shower was beautiful with a lot of great food. I liked all the things but I really loved making the little gym shoe booties with a tongue that went with the dress. I think I will try to design some to make on the knitting loom.

Baby Item's I made In Graciela's Class

Here are the baby item's I made in Graciela's class. They came out so cute I sent them to my new great niece Ellyanna Marie. Graciela is such a good teacher and was alway's there when I had a question. It made it so easy to make these things on my Kiss Loom. I am going to be crocheting some things for my other great niece due in August. Then I hope to get back to doing things on my Kiss Loom that I want to try.


Saw My granddaughter over the Spring break we got to spend sometime together and I enjoyed it immensely. She is such a sweet person and is growing up so fast. I know when she goes home I miss her terribly but I am glad we have such a good time when we see each other.

My New friend and I.
Hi

I didn't realize how long it had been since I published anything to my blog. I have been loom knitting with my Kiss Loom. I have been trying to help Graciela with her Baby items class. A lot of things I have frogged because I wanted to try new stitches and just see what all I could do with the Kiss Loom. So far I have been able to do everything I tried. I also have been looming and crocheting a lot of baby items since I had one great niece March 6TH. Welcome Ellyana Marie. I have another great niece due in August but they are having the shower here April 19, So I have to get busy.

I have also been dating a new person and we have been seeing a lot of each other and getting along well. We go to a lot of dances and play cards with a lot with friends. He is a very nice person and I didn't realize how lonely I had been. It sure beats being alone all the time.

Today I went to watch my grandson wrestle. He has been winning Gold medals in wrestling. I am so proud of him. I haven't seen my grand daughter to much and I miss her terrible.

We have finally had one day when it got to the forties. I will sure be glad when this winter is over it sure has seemed a long one. I plan on doing some traveling when the weather breaks. Maybe go to the Holland Michigan Tulip festival and other things.
Well that is about it for this post I hope next post I will be able to include my new baby items I am making. Happy St Patrick's Day everyone on Monday 17TH of March.

Baby Items Class

I just finished the baby items for the Kiss Loom class Graciela gave in January. I still love my Kiss Looms and thought I would post one of the phots here. I really like how the Kiss Looms are working. I think I will start experimenting with some of my own baby item patterns on the Kiss since I have two greats coming. One is a great niece and the other we don't know if niece or nephew yet.

My life Is Changing Some

Hi Just Checking In to say I am still here.
I am going out for the first time since my husband passed away. I have been having a lot of fun. Going dancing, shopping, playing cards,and watching old movies. It is nice having someone to do things with after all this time. He has a lot to over look with me being a larynectomee and all. He seems like a nice man who likes to talk about his kids , tell jokes and have fun.
I lost my vocal cords and talk with a prostheses and also breath through a hole in my throat. I have been cancer free for 9 years now so I am use to it and it is not as bad as it sounds. Of coarse I would rather not have had the cancer. If I only knew what I know now I would have never gone near a cigarette
I have been taking Graciela's baby items class on the Yahoo Loom Class Group. I will post pictures of the new items I made as soon as they are done. Graciela the teacher and Cliff (who makes the Kiss looms ) are such nice people and have helped me so much learning how to use the looms. I have some arthritis so the Looms let me continue my needle work without as much pain. The looms also let me get projects done faster because I don't have to quit so often because of pain.
I want to thank everyone who left such wonderful comments on my pictures of things I made and my family.
