Happy 2019

It's been a long time since I blogged...   So I thought I would start off with what I last posted about, the mini-Christmas stockings. I ended up getting twelve done and sent. Here they are filled with one candy cane and two mini-Hershey chocolate bars. :)

I jumped on the Grinch C2C bandwagon. :D  I don't even remember who posted the original pattern but when I finally decided to crochet one, and went back to it; she had taken the pattern down because of copyright issues.  But, it is the basic C2C scarf pattern. If you go to YouTube, and type it in you could make one.

This was another pattern I kept seeing on Facebook. I thought it would be perfect for Eon, he is always using Burt's Bee's lip balm. I never did give one to Eli. I was going to put money in his (but we ran out of that...) The money in there was just for the picture. This is the pattern.

And, I finally decorated my crocheted Christmas Tree. Which I think I started when we lived in the apartments in Oregon. I finished the "base" (which I made up) when we moved into a house in Oregon. I had more mini-ornaments, too; I thought. But I got the gold bead rope at a thrift store here. So I just used that. I think it's cute. I posted it on a crochet group on Facebook and I almost regretted it, people kept liking it so much. LoL. This was the pattern I used.

And, I also crocheted a Grinch scarf. I totally winged this one. For my husband. I guess I didn't tell about the Grinch scarf. Well when I posted it on Facebook, someone asked if I do orders. (I haven't and don't want to. But.....  I said I would.)  So, I hurried up and finished this scarf before Christmas but knew there was NO WAY it would make it there in time for Christmas. I sent her a message and she didn't reply..... Finally get a message back saying she would do it after Christmas.  Well, my husband really liked the scarf and asked if I was making it for him. Soooo, finally getting to my point, here... That was why I did this hat. And, he hasn't even worn it. (Roll eyes...)

Another Christmas theme thing... I did another Santa suit sleep sack for the OB Unit.  

AND, I don't think I posted this? I finally finished the Central Park Hoodie!!!  Only ten years later...  I was so happy I finished it. 

And yes, I finished it in the summer. O.O Hood up.. 

Hood down...

And, unbuttoned..  :) 

I am not really into "New Years Resolutions". But, I do want to do better sending to the OB Unit this year. I really "slacked off". Not only because we haven't had any money. But I just was burnt out.  The Santa suit I posted I had finished a year prior. (No lie.) 

We also found out last year that we were going to be grandparents. Our oldest son and his wife. But, she lost the baby at approximately twelve weeks. :(  So... We aren't going to be grandparents at this time.  It was sad. But, the doctor said they could try again in three months. They weren't "trying" when they got pregnant. And I don't know if they will try again or not. But the fact that Evan told me they could try again makes me think they might. We will see.I did knit a pair of booties and bought a onesie that says "Take me to Grandma's and let the spoiling begin"...  I will go find the pictures.

This is the booties. I knit them in off-white/aran, because they obviously didn't know yet what they were going to be having... The pattern is a free Ravelry download.

This is the onesie.  They still have these things, so... Maybe they will be trying again. Evan is almost 27 years old. So... (I was beginning to think they just didn't want to have children.)
