So I'm officially 59 now. I don't mind at all getting older. I DO mind the old lady neck that comes along with it. lol yuck. oh well I am so blessed that I don't even care about that old neck I've got.

mittens done to match hat

Ohhh look another finished project. I am so proud of myself. This hat and mitten set came out way cuter than I expected. My granddaughter Olivia is going to love them. Gonna get a photo of her in them today when she gets here.

Alrighty here she is looking good!! If you are thinking that one of the mittens looks darker in color than the other you are right. The boucle yarn I used is a tonal yarn so the hat has the tones as it as well.

It's Begining to Look at lot like Christmas!! and a new doggy in family

This is what my hubby got done last week between Wed and Thurs. Got the 3 light show trees up along with the 3 snowmen and the 2 reindeer and the sleigh. We just need a Santa and some snow!! Don't think we'll get the snow as we live in Calif. Oh well. I can pretend it's snowing.* there ya go that's one flake and here's another* weeeeeeee

My daughter Tina and her hubby Dade just bought a new puppy. A yellow labrador. What a pretty and sweet dog he is. They have named him Zeke. WEll Mia Bella named him so Zeke it is. and I love the name.

Here he is.

and here is one with Cole and Daddy Dade and Zeke:

ON the knitting front I am almost done with the matching mittens to the pink button tab hat I am making for gd Olivia. She is excited about them, she wants to wear them for her birthday in January!
