Finished Ear Warmer Project

So I found this cute Head Warmer pattern here. and decided to try it.  So as I sat watching the Super Bowl I tried it.  It was so easy to do.  I love it.  It looks great on too. Thank you Daperfectmix for posting the pattern.

Cold, Cops, and Crochet

Louisiana like most of the USA is being battered by winter weather.  Tonight we had snow, it melted as soon as it hit the ground but it was still snow.  All the trees, power lines, and roof tops are all glistening with ice, it very beautiful.

I cooked from my cops tonight.  I made chicken and sausage gumbo. They each ate two huge bowls so I think I did a good job.  We are planning on have a super bowl party here at work Sunday night. I just hope that we have no major calls during that time.  I would hate one of my boys getting upset about having to miss the rest of the game.

So I am sitting here at work taking a small break from dispatching and crocheting.  The pattern I am working on is a throw.  The pattern calls for large tassels on the corners but I am going to have to pass on the tassels.  The cats will kill them.  I know this because one of my cat boys ate the pomp pom off my house booties.

The colors I am using is colonial blue and painted desert.  At first I was not sure if I like them together.  I love each color separately.  But as the throw starts to get larger I am liking them.  I think it will go great in my den.
Well I guess I need to get back to work.

P.S. I think I will be making a head band tomorrow night.  I will let you know how that comes out.

Sweet Memories

My grandfather passed away last last month, he will be missed. In going through the thing at his house we have found boxes upon boxes of pictures. My sisters and I have been scanning them on to the computer. We plan to share them with the rest of the family.

I have been amazed at some of the pictures we have found. Pictures of my grandmother dance studio. Pictures of grandpa at his farm with his cattle. Pictures of my grandparents, mom, and my aunts at the beach. Pictures of birth's and funerals; of parties and Christmas, so many pictures that tell a story. Sweet, sweet memories.
