MY SISTER

My sister was nine years older than me and I have very happy memories of her.  One very dear one is when I was about 8, we shared a room and she would wake up on Sunday Morning and tell me to go downstairs and get her a cup cake and the funny papers.  Of course I would say I didn't want to and then she said "If you don't I am going to give you to the garbage man"  I went, but of course she never would have but guess I didn't really know that then. 
She always called me Rag Leg.  I guess because my favorite doll was rag with long legs. 
When she was in the hospital and before she got so bad, we were talking about this.  She said "boy, I was mean huh"  I said no, you were not mean.
In the end she was so very bad that we all knew she had to go to see her family in heaven.  She will be missed but fondly remembered.  Good bye Ruthie.

Thanks Heidi for finding the picture and doing such a nice tribute on your Cranberry Chronicle blog.

THANK YOU

My Indian Lady Part Three

I could not get my camera to work the other day, so section two did not get recorded.
I am now working on section three and the skirt is coming up and looks like it could be
quite a challenge.  We shall see soon.
Thanks Heidi for my now patriotic side bars.  I cannot do this new blogger at all.

ALMOST READY FOR PART TWO

My latest project is coming right along.  A few days ago it looked like the above picture.  I was talking to Heidi  and she said I should post it and say BUSY.    There are many many color changes on this Indian lady.  I am almost finished with the first section.  I am doing it in four sections.  Slow but sure!

FINISHES

I cannot figure this new blog setting at all.  Here are three finishes I did.  The yarn
bin is not empty even after making this oversized afghan.  Oh well, maybe I will find
some other uses for the rest of it.  
The ponchos were made for Zoe and Abby for Easter.  They live in a warm climate, but
it does get cool iu the mornings and evenings, so maybe they will get some use of them. 
Zoe wore hers while I was there.  The afghan is queen size.

KNITTING FROM SCRAPS AND BOOKS

I decided to use up all the yarn I have left from the ponchos I made last year.  It has been sitting in my sewing room so it is time to get it used up.  There is no order to what I am  doing here.  Random picks out of the bin.
In the meantime, I stopped reading my nook and read three books that Bill bought.  This is two of them.  A new author for us and really a very good one.  It is a series and we started way into it, not knowing it was a series but it really doesn't matter.  Every book is on it's own.  These books are cheaper on my nook but he bought them.  
We also just read a JD Robb book, aka Nora Roberts.  It is New York to Dallas and a really good one.  Those also you should read in order.  
Okay Heidi, does this count as a 366 challenge??????

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY

Heidi changed my blog look last week and now it is only fitting that this little guy says
"Top of the Mornin to you".   Our St Patrick's Day is predicted to be sunny and in the 
70's.  Hope that is true.  We have had a very mild winter in Ohio this year and I am
not going to complain. 
I am watching DVD's that Bill bought me and I am just getting around to watching them.
It is the first season of the TV show Castle.  I am so loving it.   It is in the third year now,
but I want to buy year two also.  I have not been watching it since it comes on late here.
I think I will just have to after I get these DVD's watched.  
Still reading and crocheting also.  I am making an afghan from all my yarn leftover from
ponchos.  I will post it another day.  
Have a great ST Pat's Day and thanks Heidi for my new blog look.
