Not tagged

A few days ago I got a really nice email from Melissa, who I had never met before. She was having difficulties with the Soft Waves Ripple. I sent her the "corrections" and she was nice enough to let me know that they worked for her. YEAH! I was reading her blog and noticed a fun tag that she had gotten that had you open the 6th picture folder on your computer, and then take the 6th photo in that folder and blog about it. I of course had to see what my picture was and it is a new one, well not really new. Last weekend I transferred all of the pictures that my sister had of us on her flash drive to my computer. So here we go.

"Open the 6th picture folder on your computer, open the 6th photo and blog it. Write something about it. Then tag 6 more people to do the same."

Joseph is 330 minutes old here. We had been in our room about 150 minutes. My Mom is holding him and Jessica took the picture. Jessica had been at the hospital the night before while I was in labor but had to leave because she had to work the next morning, she ended up working really short shifts for the next few days. So this was the first time she saw him. I'm really thankful she had her camera, I have quite a few pictures from that morning but it is nice to have even more.

Ocean ripple FO

I finished ripple #3 early yesterday morning. I can't wait to give it to her. I talked to her on Monday and it was confirmed that she is having a little boy(which is what the early pink or blue test said). So this is Dylan Scott's first blanket. They are doing an ocean/fish theme, so I have been calling it the ocean blanket. It kinda looks like ocean waves:) It is made with Caron SS, a size G hook, is about 34 by 36 and it took me about a month to crochet. I took me over an hour just to FINISH tucking the ends in:) My mini Dachshund Emory is modeling it again.... She is so funny, I think she enjoys the photo shoots:)

Cross posted at my blog.
Thanks for the motivation to finish and post this thing everyone:) Everyone's ripples are looking fabulous!

Ripples

I joined the No End in Sight Ripple along last week and I think I am going to post my first post today.
I have finished almost three repeats out of nine(I think), so I am a third of the way done.
Oh this is my new toy.


Since I have a sewing machine now(yeah!) I sat and did this last night(thanks to http://learningfromchavah.blogspot.com/.)


I bought the material and the crochet thread to make a blanket(ok two). With the extra side material I can make three burp clothes that match. So last night I experimented with the burp clothes to see if I can make them square instead of rounded. I think I'm going to like them rounded better. So I will finish the other one I already hemmed and then take my new compass thingy tonight and round the ends out. Next on the list is a new camera. I hate the pictures that I post.
