BALOOOOOONS!!

Thats what The Liam says when he sees them. We were going to my mom's yesterday evening and saw a couple of hot air balloons up in the air. By the time we go to the church on the corner near her house it was obvious that one was going to land in the parking lot there. We pulled in so that the kids could check it out.

Here's my little photo shoot of the evening.


This was just after it landed.



This was the other one flying over...it landed somewhere about a mile further on. My dad saw it and thought it was going to land in the cul de sac near the house, but it kept going.







These are the operators letting the balloon down. They let some bystanders come in and help. This was a company that's in the area that has hot air balloon flights. They are called Balloon Adventures USA I would like to do it sometime. My hometown is the home of the Great Texas Balloon Race and we have several balloon manufacturers in town. I still love to see them.

I realized I've not posted any photos of the Star dog lately. I took a couple of her last night.



She's getting big. She's about 6 months old now.





I'll post photos tomorrow. :)

Its Halloween season

Liam had a halloween party at daycare today.



Yep..he's my froggie.

If you want to see the rest of the pictures..you can go here

Yes..I made the hat...

I have The Liam modeling it for me because I couldn't take a good one myself. I also didn't trust him to take a good photo of me. *grin*

Mittenettes

I made these mittenettes last night while watching britcoms. (Well..I made one and a half and finished the second one this morning)



I made them from some of my handspun yarn. The yarn is partially silk and also has angelina in it so it sparkles. I used this pattern. I think if I do them again I'll use smaller needles for the ribbing at the top and bottom. I have about 100 yards left of the yarn so I think I may make either a hat or a skinny scarf. Tell me which one I should do in the comments. *grin*

Here's a shot of one of the mitts on my hand.



I wish the sparkly stuff showed up better. *harumph*

Long time no post...

Sorry I've not posted in a day or so. Been really busy.

I sent off a package to my secret pal today and also one lil RAOK. Hmm..wonder who I sent it to?? I'm not telling. *grin*

I got the cutest little RAOK today myself.
