Rainy day

     Today was a very rainy one and miserable if you had to be outside.  We have a lake in our front yard almost reaching the house!  Thank goodness the sump pump is working well or we would be floating away.  Water under the door and in the basement but not too bad.  Nothing a few towels didn't handle.  Wet dogs every time they go out and Kaiya still wants to chase the silly ball!
        Good news, the dog grooming is picking up and I am staying very busy there.  Still working on my crochet, another afghan and a knitting new sweater for Ethan.  The knitting doesn't go quite as quickly because I   lose count on the stitches ...opps.
   Need to get some extra sleep tonight , this damp weather bothers me in the mornings.....thats all for now.

Ethan's Library

          I am hoping everyone will be kind enough to let us know the books you may be bringing to Ethan's party to build his library.

Project progress

 Thanks to the ice storm I missed a day of grooming and sadly it's still very slow.  The good news is I have managed to clean house a bit and have had a lot of free time to work on my yarn projects.  The sweater for little Ethan may turn out to be a bit big now but after seeing that boy eat , I know he'll be in it very soon.

        
           I have the front and back finished and sewn at the shoulder seams, and one sleeve finished. One more sleeve and the hood and it will be all but done!!  Hope he  (and his Mom!) like it because it has been fun working on it.
           I also am working on an afghan for a friend.  Crochet this time, and it is coming along nicely. I love crocheting while watching TV, I can keep warm with it in my lap!!
