Crocheted Flour Sack Dishtowels

Remember these? I still have the ones my Mom made each Christmas before I lost her in 1989. I've always wanted to make these and finally found a pattern and TIME to get some done. They are fun to make while you watch TV...... hope my sister doesn't look here cuz she will see one of her Christmas gifts this year!

My New Christmas Tree!

It has now been 6 Christmases since I put up my wonderful, BIG Christmas tree. Following a divorce, and not wanting to go thru that ornament box, etc. I have just done my 4 ft. tall, skinny, primitive tree up with my HUGE Raggedy Ann and Andy ornament collection. Well, I decided it's time to have a grown-up tree.





My sister and I had so much fun laying all of the new ornaments out on the floor at Kohl's weeks before the Christmas rush (and still 50% off!) with my new "Beach" theme. Out with the old, in with the new! I got adorable Santa's in boats, surfing, and sitting under a palm tree, and even a lobster in a grass skirt! Here are some pictures....




Look at the mini-flip-flops!

I've been quiet......

I only have 7 more radiation treatments- hooray! Not sure if I wrote that I had been diagnosed with breast cancer in August of this year, had a lumpectomy and now am finishing my radiation. I didn't have to have chemo. thank goodness. But I will be cancer-free when this is all done and hopefully will never have to deal with this nasty thing again!


Here are a couple of pictures of my Halloween/Birthday party on Oct. 25th. The dogs had to be in costume and I had 5 dogs at the party. We had fun! That is my sister Gayle above and me below!
