Good Thymes Bath & Body

http://www.good-thymes.com/
I ordered some bar soap from this company the other day and it was shipped super fast. The soap smells sooooo good. In with my order were a few samples of some of their other products.
There were 3 soap samples and 3 lotion samples. It came packed so nice and neat in a sweet bag and I was just totally impressed with it all. So I am hoping that you all will go here:
http://www.good-thymes.com/ and check out there site. Try a bar of soap or lotion. I personally love the Honeydew Lavender line. But the Apricot Mango comes in a real close second! The soap bars are a generous full 4 oz of goodness. yummmmm
I'm going to order some lotion to go with my soaps!!

Camera is ready

Ok got those photos I was promising yesterday.

Here is the finished hooded sweater:

Here is the yarn and needles pin:

And here are the sheep pins:

So tell me what you think about them. Go ahead and be truthful, helpful criticizim is the best.

Where the heck is the charger for my Camera???

I have finished objects to show and not a working battery in site. And of course I can't find the charger for the darn camera. I've just asked my hubby for the upteenth time would he search for it for me and he said he would get right on it. soon as jeopardy and wheel is not keeping him busy. sheesh. he should know by now that my camera is way more important that those game shows. Ohhhhhh wait, I can hear him rustling around and moving and tossing things aside. May be he will have some luck and find it. (me sitting here trying to type with my fingers crossed) lol

So I have really been wanting this cute little pin I saw on the internet. It's just a cute little sheep pin. here is a photo of it I copied from the net.

I didn't want to spend the $10 they wanted for it so I made some myself. So for a couple of bucks I made 4 pins and one fridge magnet. ha. am I smart or what? Now what do i do with all these sheep I made. Guess I'll have to have a sale or something. I've also made a cute ball of yarn and tiny needles pin. will photo all of them and post soon as batteries are all charged up.

I finished the hooded sweater for my gd Mia. Hubby and I are going to baby sit the 2 kids for 2 days and a nite while their Mom and Dade get away for a 7 yr anniversary time alone that is sorely needed by them both. Hubby and I plan on having lots of fun with the kids.

Oh and hubby just found charger for the camera AND my cell phone, which hasn't been charged up in a month. What a guy!!

Ok so now to charge them both up, and then I'll be back to post a couple of photos.

Cole's 1st Birthday Party!!

Just wanted to share with you all what fun we had at Cole's party today.

First, here is the birthday boy. He's the one in the middle. on the left is his cousin Monica and on the right is his Mommy, Tina and that is Mia Bella in the foreground bottom right.
It was a great party. There was balloons and dinosaur cookies and chocolate dinosaurs galore, And M&M's with Cole's name on them and miniature candy bars with his name and bd date on them and a way cool birthday cake:





There were 4 different cakes that spelled out the name Cole with the o being an egg with a baby dinosaur poppin out of it. The cake was delicious. I brought some home.


There were lots of folks to talk to and kids playing and having fun. There was yummy crackers and to die for cheese spread and chips and dip as well. Lots of refreshments. Then the dinner was beautifully served. There was caeser salad with grilled chicken, fresh green beans with small red potatoes, and pasta salad with cherry tomatoes. Lots of fresh cheese and lunchmeats and breads. It was all great.


They hired a Caricaturist and he set up and did a caricature of each person at the party. It was so much fun. I'm going to use my caricature as my avatar on my groups and ravelry from now on!! Here are a few photos of Rene working:




and here is the one he did of me:

He even has me leaning on my cane and the fringe on my blouse!!

Now here is Cole with his daddy Dade and mommy Tina getting ready to blow out the candles!

Teeny Tiny Swap Goodies

We had a Teeny Tiny Swap on My Knitting Circle group and I received my puffy today! Above is what I got from Kathy Sheppard.
Thanks Kathy. it was a way cool puffy.
In it she sent a tiny little icord wreath, a knit bat with orange neck ribbon, a knit Snowman, and a tiny little knit sweater on a tiny iron hanger, a tiny bottle of body lotion and 12 pks of crystal light on the go Cherry Pomegranate drink. yummmm Oh and she also sent the patterns of the snowman and the bat and the wreath.
Thanks so much for all of it. This was a fun swap.
For future fun come join us at My Knitting Circle. I plan on more fun swaps to come. whooohooo

Button Tab hat

I love the look of this hat. The yarn is 55% wool 45%microfibre and it has a slight fuzz about it which makes it look even softer than it is. and the button tab is just a cool embellishment. You can get a differnt feel for the hat by using different buttons on. I chose this button because I know the person it's for loves gold and she wears a lot of it.

Next two I'm casting on is for a child that loves pink ( meaning Mia Bella and Olivia ) so I bought some cute pink heart buttons to go on them.

The little socks don't fit!!

Mia Bella and Cole came to visit me Sat with their Mommy and Daddy. Cole will be one Oct 13 and he has gone from crawling and standing up to walking like a pro! what's up with that? Oh and those cute little socks I made for him, they are way too small. wahhhhhhhh
I so wanted them to fit him. But nope. Him and his big sis just got new shoes and he is only 2 sizes smaller that Mia Bella. She is 3. and Cole almost 1 so I sure didn't expect him to have big feet. Oh well I should have cuz he does wear a big size of clothes.
Any way, Cole found the jello in my fridge and had to have some. He ate the whole thing too. So did Mia.
So what am I going to do with the socks? Leave me your ideas.
Hugs Patt

Sweet Baby Socks

Just now finished these little socks. They work up real fast. I used the pattern by Judy Ellis called Infant Socks. I changed it up just a bit by only working the ribbing for 4 rows and then doing the straight stockinet stitch. I'm gonna give them to Cole for his birthday. I know I said I wasn't going to show them here yet but I just had to. They are so cute. lol

LIttle socks

I made a couple of tiny little socks. They are so cute. And then I've made one sock and started another one for Gson Cole. Not gonna show that one here but will share the 2 little ones I made.

Happy Autumn

I can't believe that my favorite time of year is here again. Happy Fall everyone!! I love this time of year. It just smells different and the air feels different as well.

I'm making some socks for Cole, my youngest grandson, he's almost 1 , Oct 13 and he's gonna have the bestest party ever! Here he is playing with daddy's glove at the Ice Company's office with Mommy.

Knitting Journal pages

I was looking around some blogs today and I found a templete for a kntting journal that I really liked. http://www.kathrynivy.com/patterns/extras/knitting-journal/

I liked it so much that I made one of my own and also a notes page. If you go to the link above you will find that she has made a few other pages for her journal. I'll get around to making more for mine but just wanted to share my designs with you all. You can use hers or mine or make your own if you have the software to do it. But I think it is a wonderful thing to have, a Knittng Journal that is. I have it saved in pdf form so if anyone wants to use my templete just email me and let me know. I'll send it to you by email.

I jinxed myself by boasting!!

I sooooo jinxed myself by boasting how I even fixed mistakes on my MS4!! What a dufuss I am.

I had to frog the whole thing (yah all8 rows) and start over. So far I am now on row 1A. sheesh.

MS4 progress

Here is my progress so far on the mystery 4 stole. I've finished row 4. I've gotten the hang of putting on the beads plus counting on each row. I've even been able to fix a mistake (dropped stitch) with no problems.

My problem is finding the time to work on it when I can concentrate and not have anyone talking to me. I might be able to get in a few minutes today if all goes ok. lol So I can get at least a row done.

How are you doing on it?
