This is the most recent square I've done for my AIAY group. This particular square will be going to Mimi. I'm excited, next month is my month so I'll be receiving 10 squares from the other members in the group! Hopefully I won't take forever in putting them all together! lol


12" square for Mimi

Embarrassing moments...

We all have them. Those moments that everyone else finds exceedingly funny, but we just wish we could roll time back and undo them. I know, this may not seem so embarrassing to most, but in MY family...ugh.

This weekend we went to my inlaws for the day. While there, my MIL pulled out a stack of photos for us to go through. (In my defense; I'll just say that I was tired and I really wasn't paying attention, but I do remember wondering who the cute little girl next to my neice was.) So anyway, my husband hands me a picture and says "they look like they could be brother and sister". It's the same photo, I look again and ask how they could be brother and sister when it's 2 girls. OMG, it was a picture of my son from 5 months ago before he got his first haircut!!! (My dh will never let me live this one down!)

This first picture is from the same day as the one mentioned.

The second is from a couple days ago. There's a big difference!! lol

Cheating

Let me start by wishing Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate it.

Now, to explain the title. Unless I've had Thanksgiving dinner at someone else's house, I ALWAYS cook a turkey (or my dh fries one). This year we cheated and let Bojangle's do the frying for us!! lol We really wanted to fry our own, but since we're living in a condo right now we don't have any "safe" place to set up the turkey fryer and as much as I hate this place I don't want to be the cause of it burning down.

We're not having the large crowd this year that we usually do. Only 2 soldiers and the 5 of us. We usually have at least twice that number, but we've only been here 5 months and just haven't had time to make the connections I guess. Anyway, back to the kitchen I go. Ya'll have a blessed day.

Migrating old blog entries

I want to migrate my old blog posts off the other blog here before they're lost forever, but I can't seem to figure out how. As I mentioned in my first post here Myblogsite.com will no longer be supporting blogs. They gave all their members the option to migrate everything over to Blogharbor and it was very easy, BUT after the first 30 days they want $8.95/month. I really don't feel the need at this time to pay for blog services when there are so many free sites out there.

If there's anyone reading this who knows how to migrate or save blog entries from one site to another I'd appreciate a comment with tips or instructions. Or an email would be helpful as well.

Off my hook.

I haven't been crocheting much the past few days, but I have finished a few projects. I made hats and scarves for the girls, finished a couple of 12" squares for an exchange, and started an afghan for my other sister.

I took the girls to AC Moore over the weekend to their Winter Madness festival or whatever it was called. We all had a good time. I restrained myself to only purchasing 2 pounders in cream to finish the ghan I'm currently working on. The girls got to be crafty and they loved it! They made cards, gift bags, pipe-cleaner candy canes, cinnamon stick reindeer, learned how to etch glass, and brought home free lady bug counted cross-stitch kits. Their dad is the one who taught them how to cross stitch. Was nice to see them all sitting together figuring out the pattern. I brought home one too, but he took it. He's about 1/2 way finished already!! shhh, don't tell him I told you though...lol

Moving again.

Once again I'm changing my blog address. My old hosts have decided they no longer want to support blogging and are closing it down at the end of November. I'm trying to decide if I want to somehow salvage my old posts and photo's or just let them go to bloggy heaven. It's not like there's anything mind blowing or earth shattering in them, but since I'm one of those people who really doesn't like to write, it seems like such a shame to let them just disappear.
As with the last move, I've joined several different blog sites to try and find one I like. The last one just seemed to 'fit'. I liked the editorial freedom I had. Oh well, I'll get it figured out (hopefully before the end of November).

Help me find a new blog home!

After not being able to access my blog for a few days, I've just received an email stating that MyBlogSite.com will no longer be offering blog services and I need to move my blog or risk losing everything on November 30.
