Crocheting...

I have rediscovered my love of crocheting. I have been off the yarn wagon for some time now, partly thanks to a busy baby and severe tendinitis in my left wrist. But I am back now and have several projects in the works. I get bored with projects after awhile, especially large ones like blankets. That is why I like to have a few going at one time so I can change up the scenery. I have also taken stock of the yarn I have and have a lot of random one skein colors. Therefore I have decided to make newborn hats with my leftover yarns and donate them to the local hospital. I have already contacted the York Hospital and ask if there is a program for donations. But in the meantime I am working on a blanket for Kelly's soon to be baby boy, a bath mat for my bathroom and I hope to make hats with ear flaps for all the older kids of my friends. So far Megan's two have hats, Danielle's son has a hat, Josie has a hat that Grandma made her and I plan to make hats for Kelly's two and Renee's two and one for baby Sam too. Here are some pictures of some of my recent crochet projects.

And this is the bib I like to do.

Party!

Well this past weekend was my 30th birthday party. My actual birthday is Wednesday. I had a great time and really enjoyed having my friends around. I think it was the biggest party I have ever had. Growing up my parties consisted of about 3 other people since June is a big vacation month. My friends were never around on my party days. But we always had a good time since it was such a small group we had the opportunity to go to the movies or do something a little more pricey then the normal big party.

I would like to say thank you to everyone who came and thanks for all the great gardening presents. I know I had fun hope you all did too. Seems like I couldn't spend all the time I wanted with everyone but that is a drawback to having a big party. Everyone will certainly have to come back again for another party/cookout. Thanks again!!! I really had a good time.
