Hello to all of my loyal blog readers... I have kept you hanging with nothing updated for months!  Literally months!!  However, I think I'll be forgiven this time since I have such wonderful pictures to post. :-)

I recently took a trip to Michigan to visit my family; I haven't seen them since my wedding which was almost 2 years ago... we had a terrific time, other than the fact that it was only 50 degrees outside (which this Florida girl is so not used to)  :-)  My (soon-to-be) sister-in-law had a wonderful bridal shower.  My mom even flew in from Arizona to be there.  Here's a picture taken that day:

my mom, older brother and younger sister... can you tell we're related??!!

I was able to visit with my cousins (Danielle & Nicole) while I was in Michigan; boy do I miss being around those girls!!

I had sent both girls a blanket made from Lion Brand Homespun; two strands held together throughout... but unfortunately I had forgotten to take a picture before hand so while I was there I snatch a photo of each;

The pink blanket is Nicole's and the purple one is Danielle's:

A few weeks ago Jeff and I went to a Florida Marlins baseball game... (of course they won!!)  I apologize for the blurriness:

It was my supervisor's birthday back in April and here is what she received... made with Chenille Thick & Quick and it is so luscious:

I have received a few great gifts recently and I'd like to thank Fiona for some beautifully made dishcloths as well as some other kitchen items and a candle... THANK YOU!

And I'd like to thank Kathy as well- she sent me two great dishcloths that have already been put to good use... THANK YOU!!

I also have a few pictures to post of some dishcloths I made... but I haven't sent them out yet and I don't want to spoil the surprise in case the recipients view my blog :-)  You'll have to wait til next week!!

And yes, lastly... I was gifted with some wonderful Patons Sock Yarn (thank you!!).  I can't wait to use it!

So... until next time ~
