An Early Christmas

Getting the jump start on Christmas. Here is one of my crochet ball cover ornaments. There are 4 total up on Etsy and I have 5 more I'm waiting to post. The pictures didn't turn out well on those 5, so I'll have to retake them. I'm having a hard time with silver thread looking gold and silver ball looking gold and red thread glowing.

Baby girl outfit

Ok, so I still need to weave in the rest of the ends, but the crocheted baby girl outfit is done!

Family Vacation

We had a whirlwind family tour these past two weeks and we really enjoyed our vacation. We went to Florida for J's grandparents 50th anniversary and visited his other grandfather as well. Then we headed up to North Carolina for a visit with my parents. They kept B while J and I had a nice 3 night trip to the beach @ Wilmington. Then back to my parents house for one more night to pick up B and on to J's parents in South Carolina where we had a goodbye party for his sister who is going to China for 2 years. We had a great time, but it sure is good to be home. Here are a few pics, we didn't take a whole lot.
