Blog Update by Mr S.

Good morning all,
The surgery went as planned with no conplications. Woo Hoo, I was a nervous wreck. Ms S is recovering at the hospital and should be released by Monday at the latest. She is in a bit of pain and trying to get some rest. Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers.
Look honey I can read instructions!

Check out This Blog!

My sister-in-law Becky has started her own blog... you can find her here.  She is the one who made me the beautiful cross-stitch picture for my birthday. I made her a crochet hook roll, so you can see photos of it there.

She is so talented at everything she does... please go check out her blog. I know she would love having a few more followers than just me.. LOL!

I just want to say thank you to all of you for your well wishes for my surgery and recovery. I have met so many awesome people through this blog... you are the best - wish I could meet all of you in person and give you a big hug!

I think I will show Mr. S. how to post on my blog so he can let you all know how the surgery went. Hmm actually, maybe I better go type up instructions, as I know he won't remember!!

Hugs and love to all of my blogging friends.....
Sandy

Another Giveaway... and News

Nope, it's not me with the giveaway this time! It is Pammy Sue over at Scotty's Place.  She is celebrating her 4th Blogiversary and is giving away 5 great packages, so head on over there and enter!

I wanted to share with you all that I will be having surgery this Friday, May 28th, so you may not see me posting for awhile. I am scheduled for a total hysterectomy... I'm a little nervous about it, as I have never had a surgery that required a hospital stay before. If you'd like to say a little prayer for me on Friday I sure would appreciate it!

I sure will miss reading all of your blogs... that is usually how I start my day, with a hot cup of coffee and reading what everyone has been up to. Hopefully I will be back posting in a couple of weeks, maybe sooner if I feel up to it.

Off to do more sewing.. have a good one.

Happy Tuesday

Hope you are having a wonderful day today. Thought I would tell you about a couple of blogs that I like..... and one of them is having a giveaway.

The first one is Crafty Begonia. She does beautiful crochet work, and has recently featured several crochet motifs on her blog with instructions included. I'm definitely going to be trying out Aruba Star and her re-vamped Granny Square.

The other one I like is Indigo Blue.  She is currently giving away a beautiful Granny Square Bag that is just gorgeous. I like her blog because in addition to crochet she also sews. She has instructions for the cutest half apron made out of tea towels that is going on my to-do list also.

I hope you will check both of these blogs out, I think you will really enjoy them.

Happy Tuesday everybody!

Gifts Galore

I finished both of the crochet hook rolls tonight, so they will soon be on their way to the winners! Michele, please send me an e-mail (azbelle3@yahoo.com) with your address so I can mail yours to you. Here they are:

The top one is Linda's and the bottom one is Michele's. I hope you ladies like them!  I am ready to mail Pammy Sue's package to her also.. keep an eye out for the mailman Pammy!

Speaking of gifts, my sister-in-law brought me over my birthday gift today... look at the beautiful cross stitch picture she made for me:

Isn't it cute? She is so talented... she does cross stitch, crochet, scrapbooking, rubber-stamping... you name it, pretty much she does it, and she is so good at all of them. She has made me many things over the years, and I treasure all of them!

That's it for me for today... have a great night everyone.

Winners, We Have Winners

I decided to draw TWO names for the giveaway. Here was the process:

I typed up all the names and put them in a hat (okay, technically it was a small strainer!)  Mr. S. drew the names....

DRUMROLL PLEASE.....

AND THE WINNERS ARE.................

Congratulations to Linda and Michele!!!! I have decided that each of you ladies gets to pick the colors of your crochet roll. You can either have the one I already made (shown in my May 20 post) or you can choose from one of the following:

PINKS

BRIGHTS

BLACK/WHITE

ORANGE/YELLOW

BLUES

Don't worry if you pick the same colors, I can always go get more material. So Linda and Michele, please comment on this post which color you would like and I'll get started on your crochet rolls.

Giveaways are so much fun... I will definitely be doing more of these!

Have a very Happy Monday all!

Birthday Day!

Yep, today is my birthday...... hubby woke me up with a nice hot cup of coffee and a beautiful card. What a great way to start the day!

We will be heading over to my parents' house later today for dinner and birthday cake.

I have been busy crafting this weekend but can't show you what I've done as they are surprises to add to Pammy Sue's box! I sure hope she likes them. I bought some more fat quarters as they were on sale, so I will be making more of those crochet hook rolls. If you are entered in my giveaway for one, you will get your choice of which one you want! I will post photos of them all once I'm done.

Hope you are having as good a weekend as I am. Happy Day!
