Heartsick

I'm sure you have all heard about the tragic untimely death of Heath Ledger yesterday. I just cannot stop thinking about this situation. My son is only 2 months younger than his daughter Matilda and it just breaks my heart to think of her. How in the world would you tell a 2-year-old that Daddy is no longer going to be there?

Projects, projects and more projects

Even as fast as Christmas came, I can't believe it's already over! At least I have somewhat of a head start on next years gifts...I didn't get my special project finished so it will get put away until then. Hopefully that is put away finished. : )


I did finish a quilt for my Mother-In-Law. It was a gift for a son (who will be 6 next month) of a coworker. Isaac's favorite color is red, so that's what I used for the letters, border and fleece backing.

Next is what I sent to Anne in England for the Secret Santa Christmas Swap. Hopefully the afghan will keep her warm and she will enjoy looking through the magazines printed here in the US.

I did receive some very nice crochet books from Santa (being my husband and sister-in-law). As you can see I have a lot of afghans marked that I would like to make, I have no idea how I would even pick where to start...although I have started this baby afghan. It's for a lady my
husband works. Her baby girl is due in May. I'm just tickled he asked me to make her something. This is the first time in the 8 years we have been together that he's ever asked for a homemade gift for anyone.
