another picture....i'm really proud of this can you tell

the finished spideyghan

for grete

i have been challenged by grete to answer some questions. i can't let that go...that's like someone double dog daring ya!!!!! lol..........so here goes

4 jobs i have had- mom, grandma, bartender, office manager
4 places i have lived-germany, washington, california, arkansas
4 vacations i have taken- austria, holland, mexico, canada
4 web sites i check daily-crochetchallenge, my blog and all my favorites
4 favorite foods, italian, mexican, rare steak and whatever someone else cooks
4 places i would rather be- arkansas, digging thru norah's stash, on a cruise, working

i finished my spiderman afghan.............it was fun and i think it turned out really nice!!! i think clayton will love it. it is his turn for a big kid afghan. he will be 5 in july. *sigh* my babies are getting so big. i made all the g-babies afghans and sweaters and stuff when they were born.............then when hannah was 5 she asked for a big girl blankie....she got a pink barbie, and a new tradition was started. last year caden got a race car afghan. i think i sewed 200 buttons on it for wheels...it was done in crayon colors and he loves it. elissa just turned 2 as did kennedy and memphis so i get a break. altho i doubt i will get 3 done in a year.........lol.maybe i should start now........well back to a baby ghan for a gift. i'm using one of annies patterns of the day-cuddly confections- it's a great pattern....almost like a thermal blanket. i should have pictures up tomorrow so be sure to check

another view

this is how far i am on the spideyghan..........the instructions could be written a little better in my opinion but it will make a great christmas present for clayton

well this is the finished ghan..........i gave it to heather to give to amber today and i may have to check with amber to make sure she got it.....lol..........i really think it turned out nice

this is the back..look at all those ends.......i may never finish this

but MOM!!!!! it looks like it should be for me

ok iggy, you can be the star of this picture. you are so darn cute!!!! now can i take a pic of the sweater, please?

i have 5 squares that have ALL the rounds on and the rest only need the white edging........do you think it's pink enough for a girl?

this is the 2cd pair of socks for nene........10 to go

there are 20 squares here in various stages. i will make the 8th round white and then do a white border. i'm using yarn that i have....trying to reduce the stash
