Pink Booties - WIP

Here's what I was working on

while watching the CMA Festival:

PINK booties! The pair on the left is the girl version

of the navy crocheted sneakers I made previously.

The other 2 pairs are going to be crocheted ballet slippers

when I get the finishing touches on them.

Both patterns are some of the test patterns

I'm doing for Kay Meadors over at

Natural State Knitting.

These will be great for winter babies!

Coming up soon...

a WIP for my mom's birthday!

Well, Friends, I FINALLY had some time to crochet, last night! I watched the CMA Festival (which I didn't think deserved the honor of being considered country music in many respects) and crocheted away on some booties. Finished one, made a whole one, and started another one. Quite satisfying!

I hope to post pictures later,

God willing and schedule permitting!

This morning my boys are going to 'fly solo' on their schedule while I go have a MUCH NEEDED (and much anticipated) time of refreshment with my partner in crime (um, I mean ministry) this morning. She and her DH have just completed building their home together. (This will make the 2nd home they've built together and they're STILL married! Incredible!) And I'm going to see it for the 1st time today. I can hardly wait!

Have a blessed day!

Almost!

RATS!!! I thought I was finally going to get some hooky time in yesterday. But I didn't.

I did, however, get through all the work I had to do for the day in that day, and that, in and of itself, is a huge accomplishment these days. My interest at least is reviving and my fingers were anxious to get themselves on some yarn and work on some booties. But, alas, no.

Maybe tonight during the CMA Festival!

Crazy Busy

Well, Friends, I haven't picked up a crochet hook in well over a month. First, my Daddy passed away. Then, homeschool started up, 2 fourth graders and 2 eighth graders. My brain is on overload trying to organize and fit in all both sets of boys need for this year. It is also a 'little' fried from switching back and forth constantly between the mentality of these 2 separate levels. (Really, I've been so overwhelmed that I haven't even WANTED to crochet.)

I am hopeful that we are on our way toward settling into a workable system and that I will again be able to do something besides teaching and planning to teach and keeping the home front running somewhat (I can't really add smoothly to that yet).

I have been peaking a bit at what my other blogging friends are working on. That's always fun! But even this I do not have time to do much of.

Thanks for your patience in this busy season. I will be crafting again soon, no doubt. I do have 2 sewing projects I am wanting to get to and will share those with you some time soon.

With Warmest Regards,
MamaLezlie
