Holiday Craft Source

The first winter that we lived in Pangman I finished off a Granny Square Afghan I had been working on for quite a while. This blanket is made from left-over yarn from my stash and from my late mother’s stash. I made up the squares in 2004/2005 and then finally during the winter of 2008 I finished up all the squares and crocheted the afghan together.

This past week I took it out and put it on the bed. It looks great and is very very warm.

I took a couple photos of the blanket on the bed. Of course, before I could take the photo of just the blanket, some of my cats snuggled up on it.

I hope everyone had a good Christmas and New Year’s. I can not believe that 2009 is already here. Time seems to go by very quickly, at least for me.

My husband and I had a quiet Christmas. I made supper on Christmas Eve – Turkey and all the trimmings. My son came home as well as some of my cousins from Regina.  On Boxing Day we went to Regina. We had dinner with my Brother and his family. Later in the day we had  supper at my mother-in-law’s.  Then in the evening, we went to see our Son play a show with the band “The Jumpoff”. My son plays electric guitar.

On New Year’s Eve we went over to the local cafe here in Pangman, Saskatchewan, Canada, for the New Year’s Eve supper, and then spent the remainder of the evening watching movies.

Now that the Christmas holidays are over I am gradually getting back to my normal routine. One of my goals is to post more often, and also to share more of my patterns and projects that I have made.

I thought today I would share with you pictures of our 6 cats.

Happy New Year. I hope that 2009 is a good year for you and your family.

Okay, I am sitting here thinking of what to write for my next blog, and Patches decides that she has to sit on my lap. Ever try typing with a cat on your lap, not an easy thing to do. I keep moving her off my lap and she just keeps coming back, so I decided that I should pet her for a few minutes and hopefully she will go away.

Here is a picture of Patches.
