Summer Olympics 2014, Monument Co

I wanted to share pictures from my trip in July This is the first all Family Summer Olympics with the Cutlans and the Broadheads.  We used to do this in Fox Lake, when my children were little.  Here they are showing off their medals.

Not seen here is Tavian, 11,he won the long jump.

 Ellowyn got a medal for the cutest  3yr old.

Caiden for the best 4yr old host.

 Emery is holding half of the Pinata, but he took first in a lot of events!

Ella

 Ella is enjoying the head of the Pinata, she placed a cool second to Emery, her  older cousin. 
Practice for next year is a must.  But She aced the Wheelbarrow.

 Elowyn taking the first swing!!

 Emery broke it even with the bag on his head!

Hats, Hats...

Hats, and more hats, The new baby decided to come on board a month early, but I do have a super cute hat ready for him.  I 'll put up pics later. Booties are next for him. He is up in the Cold weather of Wisconsin.  I know it well, I like Wisconsin I spent many summer in the  Dells and camping at Devil's lake, as a Girl  Scout and then with my children later. Its a gorgeous place cut out of the rock by an old glacier.

UPDATE......

I can't believe I haven't written anything!  but I have been busy finishing leg warmers, and I made a great little girl hat.  I still have to have some Heads to put them on!  I guess I will do my paper machee wonders with balloons.    We are in for a rainy weekend so I should be able to work up some hats, in extra bulky yarn.  They are extra cute too.

I have been thinking about my Halloween plans this year.  Last year I made an afghan.  I d like to do it again a little differently. But my orders here have kept me busy. I still have several hats for Xmas. a new baby next month, and my own family items.  Ramona and I are going to try some Owl hats.  they're a real hoot! 

Well I 'll be heading home in the rain, seems it always waits till 5 when the traffic is bad.
Keep Knittin'

 these are the first cards I ordered, the phone and website are wrong. But I have corrected them

Miss Purl is busy clicking her double pointed needles to make some cute little leg warmers for one not arrived yet.  My, these arthritic fingers are having a problem with the size 3 needles!  I guess it is all worth the effort.  It is hard to keep up when you have a day job! Wish I could retire now, but I guess it will also be worth the wait, to be able to tie up all the loose ends, and get into a smaller house, with a lot less up keep. 

Toastmasters is a new venture for me and I am planning my first speech.  Of course it is about me
.
I also discovered a new yarn store called Stash - a place for yarn.  On Central Ave in St . Pete.  The universe is sending me new info!  I can't wait to go and check it out soon, Its always nice to be able to get the 'hand ' of the fiber to see how it may feel against your skin, and the true accuracy of the colors.  These are things you can't get on line.
I will give you a report when I am able to get there.

Rocket the kitten

Saints be praised!!  My little granddaughter on her first day of pre school.  Check out the leggings!

I miss her soo much!!!

 

I bet you know that  one of the latest things today are Leg Warmers for Babies, Yes, you may remember the 80's.  I never caught the Fever! (I loved the Bee Gees!)   But the best dressed children will be wearing them.

I think they look much better on them.  Stay tuned for some new pics.

Actually Paraphernalia was the name of a Great Shop on Michigan Ave in Chicago, during the late sixties.  I bought a great lavender bell sleeve crepe dress there.  It had everything a Hip Chick would want.  So I thought I would like to keep up with the fashionable new knitwear for babies, toddlers and even the rest of us. I like using patterns that aren't run of the mill, and I have found an abundance of them on Etsy. So I will give you their info and keep this community working for us.
