My projects

So I finished the Teal afghan that was for my daughter so I could take it with me to visit her over Thanksgiving. It turned out really nice, but I never got a picture of her with it. So here's one I took along with the other work in progress. I turned out nice. 

Works in progress

So this is where I'm at so far with the yarn I bought. I've been a little frustrated with my project, tore it out a couple of times and then decided to change patterns all together. This one is easier but going slower. I like it so I'm just going to keep on moving with it. We'll see how long it takes to complete. I'll keep you posted!

Yarn.....

It's that time of year, the weather is VERY slowly changing but it's enough that I'm getting the itch to crochet. I've got a project in the works and I'm not going to say too much because it's suppose to be a gift. But I just had to share it. I really like the colors and how it's coming along. I should be finished with the border this weekend. What do you think? Funny, I notice how the pillow to the right matches the afghan, totally not planned!

I also bought this yarn for my next project.. I just really liked this color.

Bike Stuff

So we put a new seat on my bike, it's Ostrich. I think it looks pretty cool against the black bike what do you think? And since we're talking about my bike I've put over 2500 miles on it since June. We've done some fun rides over the summer, including a Las Vegas turn around, Palm Springs and many weekend rides. I'm still having a blast!

Happy Labor Day

It's not often we get a three day weekend, so when we do we try to get as much in as possible. We babysat and dog sat this weekend. So today was about us doing something fun. So we met up with some friends and took a short bike ride to Wrightwood and then to Silverwood Lake. 

Tomorrow back to reality it is!

So I realize now that it's been quite some time since I've posted anything on my page. Guess it's been a busy fun summer. We've been doing a lot of riding, almost every weekend. And if we're not riding we've been on road trips and had some visitors. So here are a few pictures of our summer activities.

We went to the Gilroy Garlic Festival

Went on a 700 mile ride to Three Rivers/Sierra's

 My son and daughter in law visited from Texas.
We went to Newport/Balboa via the ferry

We went to Disneyland.....

It was her first time there, can you tell she had
an awesome time!?

We had some margarita's

 Went on a ride to Solvang, my first long trip...what a blast

And we both have new bikes now...Victorys

Love my new bike!! 

Barefoot Sandals

So my daughter in law showed me a picture of some barefoot sandals that she loved. I thought I can make those. So I did some looking around and found some patterns and this is what I have come up with so far. It is early stages but it's a start, right?
