Sad News

We got the dreaded telephone call early this past Sunday morning that my father-in-law had passed away sometime during the night. As you may or may not know, he had been battling lung cancer. It was still quite a shock, because he had just seen the oncologist on Friday and, although he was going to go in for more radiation, things weren't as bad as we had thought. We're still not sure exactly what happened, but it is suspected that he either had a massive heart attack or stroke.

We are thankful that we were just there the weekend before celebrating Mother's Day with my husband's family and got to hug him and tell him we loved him. Now he is at peace, and thankfully will not have any more pain.

Even though he was not my husband's biological father, he treated him as his son from the very beginning and was a great adoptive dad to my husband and his sister. He will be greatly missed.

This 'n That

Just a mix of different things to show you today. I have been busy crafting and sewing lately, so not that much crochet to show you.  I did make a mug cozy for my sister-in-law who is crazy about purple:

I found a free sewing pattern for a dog harness, so I made one for Lulu:

A friend of mine saw the picture of it I posted on Facebook, and asked if I would make some for her dogs too. She wanted girly colors, so here is what I made:

I hope she likes them. 

Here is another picture of our sweet Lulu with one of her favorite toys:

She is the smartest, cutest dog in the world! Course I might just be a tad bit prejudiced.. ha ha!

Hope everyone has a great week.
