Open Shoulder Granny Poncho

Is Finished. I finished it yesterday. And I am not thrilled with it. It looks NOTHING like the picture in the magazine. The shoulder holes just look stupid. I might just sew them up and it will be a granny poncho.  Look at the picture.  Nothing like that, is it? It just looks frumpy and big.  I still kind of like it. I don't know...

We had some friends over for dinner a couple weekends ago. The guy works with my husband, and we have known them for about 13 years. Our youngest boys were five when we all met (my husband knew the guy longer, he worked with him.)  ~Anyway~  The guy kept telling people about my cheesecake and how good it is, and hinting that he wanted some....   So I made one for when they came over.   

I had leftover cherry pie filling and cream cheese. I didn't want it to go to waste (only to waist- ha ha). So I made some Kolacky. I haven't made Kolacky since I don't know when. I think in high school foods class.  (Probably because it's a lot of work!)  

This one is with the cream cheese topping.  

 

We Moved

Yup, we moved... I don't have any pictures on my computer of anything except project pictures.  So I figured I would post some. This is an afghan I started (I'm currently working on it, it's in my lap). Someone posted one she did, on a group I'm in on Facebook. She posted a link to the pattern stitch she used: Sioda Purse. I think I chained 213 for this.  I'm trying to use up scraps. 

And this is a mini stocking, I have three done so far. For Wounded Warrors Project, I think? It's a group I'm in.  

And some mitered grannies I've been working on every so often.  

I also finished a pocket shawl, and I'm almost done with an open shoulder granny poncho. I don't have pictures so I guess that will have to be for another post..   I haven't felt like doing much since we moved. So I'm surprised I have anything finished.   Oh, yeah...

We got a new kitten!! This was one week after we got her.  We named her Eri. I got her from a wild cat rescue place.  Her Mom, her brother and her were all living underneath someone's stairs.  I wanted the brother, he was black (with brown undertones) and FLUFFY. And calm and cuddly. But Eon had his mind set on her. :)

She is a big sweetheart. She loves Cosmo, and Cosmo LOVES her.  (I was relieved..)  She's three months old now, and the sweetest thing ever.    Well I thought I would post an update, and will try to post more. (I need to take more pictures..)
