Adventures in Crotchet

Some things that I stitched for Genny and Kevin's baby....
This is the "Cathedral" stitch. It was time consuming, but really cute!




This is a "wave" stitch, but I used it because I thought it looked like a caterpillar to match the bugs on the fabric.



A simple stitch that I'm sure has a name, but I don't know it. Thought it looked like the spikes on the dinosaurs backs.



More of the cathedral stitch and blanket.

Too much flash....



That's all for this episode of "Adventures in Crotchet". Please tune in when we have our next adventure...

Fall Camp Begins...

My week in review:

SUNDAY: All the family was in town at the same time. Something that hasn't happened since last summer (pretty much). Since everyone was here, we decided to set up a tripod and take some quick pictures.
MONDAY: Travis' last day in Utah. We were going to go on a date, but the movie we wanted to see wasn't until 9:10 and his flight took off at 6am the next day. Travis changed our oil and washed the car instead. [BTW - we no longer own the "toaster", we traded it in and bought a truck.]

TUESDAY: Travis flew to the Dallas Cowboys fall camp in San Antonio. Since we left Texas a couple of weeks ago, Travis has been stressed about making his target weight of 320 lbs and dieting like crazy. Before Travis flew out, we were fairly certain he was under the target, but when he got there and weighed in, he weighed 309 lbs!!! He is definitely the thinnest he's been since I've known him.

WEDNESDAY: First official day of camp. The practice was pretty much a walk through. Travis said the day went well.

THURSDAY: Donated blood for the 3rd time ever. Did much better than the previous times - bled quick and didn't feel queazy at all. Travis had 2 practices today. The first practice went great and Travis felt really good about it. Second practice went pretty well with only a couple of missed opportunities. Got some good feedback from the O-line coach for the first time. HOORAY!

FRIDAY (TOMORROW): Will be headed to Bear Lake, my first time this summer. Plan on getting lots of sun and sleep.

Love you all! Thanks for your support and love!

Catch up...

I had intended to update our blog today with all sorts of awesome pictures that we've taken in the last month, but just spent the last hour downloading photos onto Facebook. So, needless to say, I am too tired now to update this blog. But, I promise I will soon!

In the next edition: updates and pictures from the George Strait concert (new stadium, LeeAnn Womack, "Dancing with the Stars" Melissa, and more!!)
