World Champion Philadelphia Phillies!

Well, the baseball season is over and it was a wild playoff. But the Phillies pulled it off. My Phillies won the WORLD SERIES and are the Champions!! After 28 years since the LAST World Series win, they finally brought it home. The games were exciting.....the parade today was memorable. I just want to thank the team for a great year and an even BETTER one (if thats possible) next year!

Because of the World Series, I am extending the contest for another week......so get your entries in. I will have the entry page up in the next couple days.

Crochet, Away!

New Computer

Here is a pic of my new laptop. Its great! Its like having a desktop machine you can just fold up and take most anywhere. I have to admit its NOT light, but since I only move it around the house, its not a problem. I am considering crocheting a case for it since they dont make cases big enough for this monster. Thats what my b/f calls it....the MONSTER :)

It will make my posting and web page work much easier and should last quite a few years. Its about as cutting edge as you can get in a laptop for now. Wasnt cheap but it was a Christmas present. Thanks, honey! :)

Our Tree

I finally got the tree decorated tonight. If I do say so myself, I think it came out beautifully....one of the nicest trees I have ever had. Ron said I did a beautiful job, and considering what a perfectionist he is, that is praise indeed :)





Like a lot of people, I collect ornaments. I always get a few Hallmark ornaments every year, but I also collect other kinds as well...especially blown glass or porcelain. I got this one about a week
ago when we got the tree.

And this one was made in Egypt

and trimmed in 24k gold....all glass and crystal.

And this is my Clara from the Nutcracker. She is all porcelain. She is jointed at the waist and legs and is one of my favorites.



I hope you enjoyed looking at my tree. I will be back again soon.

William

I finally got a photo of the new baby, William. He is the one I made the blue overall layette and ripple afghan for. He was barely awake for this shot....at 3 weeks he is asleep most of the time :) His proud PopPop is the one holding him. I still think I am going to make him and Sydney the Christmas suit, but we'll see. Whatever I make, I need to get started SOON!

My Birthday

Today is my 53rd birthday. Its a good one. The last few years birthdays for me have been like just any other day. Its nice to have someone to share it with now :) My b/f gave me a very sweet card and is taking me to dinner later on this afternoon to The Dillworthtown Inn. My kids are busy....not surprised....but I will see them later in the week. A friend of mine got me this mug...very appropriate for someone my age :) But you are truly ONLY as old as you feel....and I feel very young :)

The New Baby

Here is a pic of Sydney....this is the baby I crocheted a WHOLE bunch of things for that I will eventually include in my blog. She is the CUTEST thing....only about 7 lbs and SOO tiny. I hadnt held a little one THAT little in many years.

Welcome to the world, Sydney! And now I have another little girl to crochet things for :)
