Cody(Ace) and his dog Fox
Always the serious one Ace! Cody and I in his Yard

Epic effort being undertaken: Ripple Afghan. Colors Black, Dark orchid, Lavender, Amethyst and Blueberry pie, all colors provided by Red Heart Yarns in 7 oz or more skeins save for the Blueberry pie which is a 5oz of which I did not have ALL of it remaining.
Just spent nearly a week with Cody, Julie, Ryan, Joe, And Joeanne(sp?)And returned Sunday Afternoon, Along with the people I spent time with the pets of the household, Female Joe's Dogs, Manx, who is Male Joe's Familiar, Nina who is Cody's cat that Julie and still has and Cody's Dog the awesome and someday soon to be huge Great Dane-Mastiff dog Fox. He is only about 3-5 months old I forget how old but at full growth he will weigh in at 210lbs and stand five feet tall at the shoulder. He will be able to lick his master's face while having all 4 feet on the ground. Cody likes big dogs though. He and I and Julie have somewhat sorted out our issues and are working back towards being a happy pack o people again. I adore his roomie Joe. Can tolerate and appreciate the other roomie female Joe. Love Ryan(god) and finally met Sara who had friended me on facebook on the basis I was the 'Missy that Lacey referred to sometimes.' Her kidletts are adorable, messy but adorable.
Pics above enjoy!

OMG the great adventure!

Today I went down to the food bank which happens to be inside the second hand store in our small, arid, hamlet. I found yarn and made items which makes me happy because hello I can so frog that and make something less utilitarian out of that rainbow and earth toned beucille (sp) yarn I found. However I also braved the wild idea and found 3 sets of knitting needles, the straight varieties in 3 different sizes - 8 11 an 15 going to try and learn to knit since I have a beginners book on such from the bookmobile as well...crazy, I know, the knitting and crocheting alliance leader of ss21's Blades. Holy Steel!( and aluminum!) o=}=====> ]=========>
Below is a picture of a finished drawstring makeup purse


I enjoyed making it now someday I need to get it to its intended recipient!
