Squares for Africa....

Well, I have finished my first set of Squares for Africa and I'm almost finished with my first baby blanket! It will be exciting when I can send these off in the mail...hopefully by this weekend!! I'm happy to say I have two other helpers who have joined me in knitting/crochet to help keep little ones warm in Africa. For those that are joining me for the first time...the squares are made and then sent to Africa where they are joined together by a wonderful group of ladies who then hand them out to those in need...if you would like to make a square or more please feel free to join us!!! For more information on this wonderful charity please check out their website

Here are a couple of picture's showing some of the Summer Fun that we are having here in Arizona!! It was 114 today...so we are loving the swimming pool....

Below... Christie and I always make time for our laptops....If you look to the right corner of this picture, you will see some different paint colors...I have been trying to choose a color for this room. We had a party the other night and I asked everyone to give a vote on there choice of color...It was a great help and now I have chosen the color for my family room....thanks again to everyone who voted.....

Here are the boys playing band...I think its called Guitar Hero???? Not sure, but they sure have a great time with it...

And of course shooting hoops....did I say it was 114 out?...Uwakim, an exchange student from Norway is playing basketball barefoot.......

Well, I hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday, and please let me know if anyone decides to knit/crochet some squares....hugs Lisa

Happy 4 Year Anniversary!!!!!

To my husband who has given me many wonderful ranch adventures......and to my dad who passed away a week before our wedding! I miss you so very much, and I love you both......

Well, I have not been posting on a regular basic and I thought I would share some images from my craft/ storage room and also a new interest of mine....but its not the little bear below. She just sits in my craft room.....cuz, she's cute.....

I have jars of buttons, ribbons and squares of wool felt.....


Here is something I have been stitching on for a while, in between other projects.....

I have loads of vintage buttons in little draws........

I also love all things that relate to the month of July, they can be found threw out my craft room and house.....


Of course you will find, lots and lots of yarn in all different colors......which leads me to my new interest.....

I have been crocheting squares for the Knit-a-square charity. Knit- a- square is a charity that knits or crochets square's and then sends them to Africa. Once the squares arrive a group of ladies from the local church's join the squares together and make blankets for the orphans and/or sick children. If you would like to join along, let me know or check out their site. It would be wonderful to have you join and help bring some warmth and sunshine into a little ones life......
