Busy, Busy, Busy

Life has been very busy the last coupla months. So there hasn't been a lot of blogging going on. I have been working more than I usually do. The facility I work at has been very short of nurses and one can always use the money. Might as well work while I am still physically able. Unfortunately, I have not seen as much of my family as I would like to. On April 16 my husband was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation and placed on Coumadin. He was cardioverted last Friday. This is where they use the electric paddles to shock the heart back in to a normal sinus rhythm. It did work--but no guarantees it will last. He will have a cardiac cath in 4 to 6 weeks. He does have a history of heart disease. He had a bypass in 1985 and an angioplasty in 1995. I will keep you all posted as time goes on. Things are good right now. There has been some knitting and crocheting going on. Just no pics. Am working on a pair of socks, an Irish Hiking Scarf, and Joe Joe's afghan. The afghan is about 60% done--but the weather is finally getting too warm to work on it, so not sure when it will be finished. I gifted a pair of socks that I never took pics of--sorry. I have been able to find the time to do some blog reading and commenting. Hope all is well with everyone out there in blog land. Happy knitting.

Grace is having a contest on her blog--pretty easy too. Well kind of. Just got to vote on which shawl to give her friend--and there are tons of gorgeous shawls to vote for. Contest ends at midnight tonight.

Oops--One With The Stole

The stole did come in handy, as it was rather cool. When is the warm weather coming? We are certainly ready. Friday started out rainy, but ended up sunny and in the 50's. Sunshine was good.

Prom Time

I would say that is plenty--you get the picture. No pun intended. Friday night was really exciting. First grandchild off to the prom. Actually she is the second grandchild, but the first one going to the prom. Is she or is she not gorgeous. Pics with baby brother--parents--and of course boyfriend.

Joe Joe's Afghan

Here is pic of the afghan that was promised. Coming right along. just a little less than 25% done.

Oh My!!

Now just how cute is Joe Joe. To remind us Moms what babies are like and how sweet they are. Happy Mother's Day!

Meet The Prima Donna

Out of 10 grandchildren I have 2 grandaughters--this is the youngest She is 5 going on 35. She took a magazine to the hairdressers to show them how she wanted her hair cut. And she would much rather shop for shoes and clothes than play outside. Now I don't know about your daughters--but when my daughters were 5, they didn't really care about their hair or what they wore--they just wanted to play outside. These are some new clothes she got on Wed. The dress and shrug are for her graduation from preschool. She really is a sweetie.

I am taking a sabbatical from knitting for a few weeks. My right shoulder has been bothering me for about a month and a half, and since I am a right handed thrower I am giving it a rest. It is constant movement for my shoulder, and I am already noticing a difference after only 3 days. So hopefully if I lay off the knitting for a few weeks it will heal.

Now don't fret--I have switched to crochet and am working on an afghan for the newest grandbaby. All of my other 9 grandchildren have received this afghan. I will post pics at a future date. Also have a finished pair of socks to show ya but haven't taken a pic yet. so Happy knitting to all.
