Crochet Me Crazy

I haven't posted for several days because we had a real busy weekend. I was babysitting for the woman from New Orleans that stayed with us for a couple of weeks. I had her 15 month old baby, her 5 year old son and her 13 year old girl... plus Alison had two friends spend the night on Saturday so it was a house-full! No big deal, really, except for feeding that many! I rarely do much cooking on the weekends so we ate Taco Bell and ordered pizza. Saturday night we made a fire in our fire pit in the back yard and the kids roasted hot dogs and marshmallows. They danced to the radio and pretty much had an all out party! Alison seems to have come down with a little bit of a cold so she's been kinda whiney and needy today. We had to make a trip to Wal-mart tonight to get some warm-ups because our weather got pretty chilly. I couldn't find my warm ups from last year that I packed up in the attic. Alot of my other clothes are too tight because I've put on too much weight lately. Anyway.... boring stuff here!
I was sidetracked with my crocheting for a week working on the free form peice. I finally got disgusted with it and put it away. I think it stinks! Now, I am having a hard time deciding what I want to make. I started on another pair of hexagon boot slippers to give to Evelyn (the 13 year old that was here this weekend) By the way, I taught her to crochet this weekend and sent her home with a needle and some yarn! She was doing pretty good on making a square when she left! I started experimenting with trying to come up with a sweater for Alison made out of some extra granny squares I have. I did finish the foot stool cover but I still need to fasten it to the stool. I take some pictures of that when I get it done. I'm sorta thinking about making some things out of cotton for myself...maybe a few towel toppers....I don't know...like I said, I'm kinda in a funk right now trying to figure out what to start on. Hopefully, I'll get back in the groove soon!
