ripple afghan

I finished my bright ripple afghan last Friday.
I gave it to my friend, Darlene, who is having surgery on her foot this week.
Like a prayer shawl, but bigger (and more practical in my opinion)
I told her she could curl up with it. Along with a good book and her boot ;)
The colors did not photograph well at all.
Its actually  purple, hot pink, bright turquoise, yellowy orange and lime green. And super soft snuggly yarn.

help

I am looking for a pattern or tutorial for a cinch top bag 
that can be worn like a backpack.

Anyone know of a good one?

thanks!

I love politics. I am a political junkie.
But it sucks living in a swing state.
I made up my mind a long time ago,
and really...haven't most people? 
I mean who has not decided by now?
And are nasty commercials and annoying phone calls going to change your mind?
Our local radio stations hardly plays music any more. 

It is good to have caller id.
Sometimes when the NRA calls I do answer and give them a piece of my mind
you would think they would take me off the call list. 
So far I am not so lucky. 
(and neither is that guy who calls me!)

Happy 27th 
Anniversary 
to us.

:)

We got married on the same day the original Back to the Future movie takes place, so Marty McFly and I have something in common. 

work in progress

This is one of the projects I have been working on. The colors are much more "neon" than the picture shows. Not sure what who will get it when I am done.

potholders

I made some potholders for my friend.
She had a facebook comment one day about burning potholders
...so I had to.

I just used some odd scraps and attempted rounded corners.
Hope she doesn't set them on fire! 
:o)

So far I still have a job :)

My friend who was battling brain cancer passed away yesterday :(  Only 42, so sad.

Finished 2 afghans :) No plans for them, maybe I will get an etsy shop someday.

Had to see an otolaryngologist, I have a little lump on the back of my neck. Nothing to do with my spine surgery and  nothing to worry about, he said I am just weird  :o)   ( I do not need a specialist to tell me that! LOL)  

I have been working on some pillows for my great-nieces for Christmas presents. Seems like a long time til Christmas, but it will sneak up on me if I am not careful.
