Dinner: papa johns or little caesar Chiefs won last night so all pizza is 50% off @ papa Johns


Almost done with the baby blanket for Alex. Just putting the edging on it and then I will start Journey's new shirt and the babies new dress & booties. Then I still have to do Amora's hot pink and black baby blanket & hat.  I still need ribbon for the mohair and tulle tutu and hat that I made for Alex & buttons for Journey's headbands.


So one of the girl's friends messaged me yesterday and told me she was back in town. Yay! I love her and her little boys like they're my own.
Brittany posted a picture of Addison (addy) Courtney's new baby and Courtney reported her to facebook. Then she unblocked Journey so she could bring her into the drama. I don't understand my oldest. Why does she want anything to do with her sisters? She has always thought she is better than everyone else. I figured if she's to good for me than whoopy for her. While I miss being a part of my grandchildren's life, I don't miss the stress she brings. Seems the only thing she wanted out of me was money and since I don't have any of that she turned to those who do. So good luck to her. When she looks around and realizes all she missed she will realize she only has herself to blame.

Chris ate noodles and more for dinner. His company caters in meals all the time. He brought the girls huge rice krispy treats home.

Dinner: KFC Chicken Fried steak meal comes with Chicken Fried Steak, mashed potatoes and biscuit. Dessert-twix bar (snack size)

Current Wips-still working on the candy corn sweater (cardigan) and Alex's baby blanket. I have to make the straps for her tutu then it will be done.
Made Chris's kc hat need to make the arrow head applique for it.
Made a pumpkin hat for god knows who. It was just so cute and I had the colors so there you go. :)
took and uploaded all the pictures on my Ravelry.

Brittany wants either a cat or a mouse costume for Alex. So I'll make both and let her choose which she likes. I have to make a cat set for Del so it won't be that much extra work. It's just headbands, felt and glue. Some gray material, gray tulle and 1/2" gray ribbon. Journey hasn't said anything about Amora but I'm sure she will.

Phoenix got grounded to her room for shoving me into the door when I told her to go do her chore. I hope this is just a teenage thing and that she will outgrow it with enough attention. She acts like she requires very little but in reality she wants all my attention just like her sisters. I love her but she needs to get it together. She will be old enough to move out soon and ready or not I'm not taking care of her for the rest of her life.
She is smart enough and wise enough to manage herself. I just wish she'd get on with it.

Del continues to amaze me. She was sorting m&ms by color today all by herself. Even knew the colors. She can count to 13 and is working hard at learning how to read.

Well Jo & Amora are back at TJ aunt's house. I guess there was some fuss about her having Amora up and Jo taking a nap this morning. Him and his aunt were bad mouthing her. I told her not to worry that Connie isn't important. I still don't understand why this family isn't good enough for my grandkids and why my girls feel the need to have someone else's family step in and take over. It's complete and udder BS. But I have to keep my mouth shut otherwise I don't get to see them. So far I've got 9 grandkids and only get to see 1 because I don't know how to keep my opinions of their decisions to myself. It's not my fault that I expect better out of them. Out of all the people in the world they should be able to handle the truth from their mother.

While Amora was I sneaked her birthday present on her and it fits perfectly. YAY! I've been so worried that it wouldn't fit. Now I can get busy making her some more of them and I still need to put daily work into Jo's shirt. It is so boring but I must try as I only have half a month left.

I downloaded a FREE pattern from Michelle @ The Perfect Knot
She is on Raverly and has super cute patterns. Some are free and some are pay and I would love to try my hand at all of them.

My daughter Journey and Amora is over spending the weekend with us. YAY! I miss them and really don't get to spend enough time with my babies.

Ms. Brittany had her daughter. A beautiful baby girl Miss Alex-zandera Lynette. She weighed 7lbs 5.0 oz and was 19 inches 08/13/2015

Finished the chicken wire and stick working on the shirt for Jo. Been looking for headband/ear warmer pattern but I don't want to pay $5 for it. I understand making a buck but when every pattern is 5 I can't buy many and still be able to afford yarn. No yarn no point of having patterns.

Dinner: chicken Patties/mashed potatoes/green beans/salad

Crochet projects-
Journey's birthday is on the 7th of next month so I'm currently working on Chicken Wire which is a hair kerchief and a "sea breeze top".
Amora's is on the 21st so I made her a sweater and hat since it will be cold soon after her birthday and I plan on making her a stuffy. I was thinking a glo-worm like Del's but Del can't have her's until Christmas.

Ravelry's main topic today is Pillows which I like the designs but I don't think I'm into it........yet :)

My daughter Brittany is suppose to have my 8th grandchild tomorrow. I'm excited and terrified all at the same time. I can't be there so hopefully my prayers will reach them and keep them.
