Crochet Me Crazy

Well, it's been getting used like crazy even with all of my loose ends waiting to be weaved in. Everyone loves it because its so warm. Unfortunately, the dogs seem to love it too! Anyway, I took it to Alison's dance class last night with me. I figure if I brought nothing else I would be forced to weave all those ends in! Well, I'm happy to report....Mission Accomplished! Sorry, no picture yet. I've decided that I will not add the tassels like the pattern calls for. With all our animals, it's just not conducive to our lifestyle so it still needs a simple border to be truly a finished project. I will be adding at least a single crochet border all the way around...we'll see what I come up with.

This weekend is the big show! It's called "A Series of Lessons & Dances". It's going to blow this little town away. The girls are so good! Alison had full dress rehearsal tonight.

My car broke down on the way home! Thank God, I made it to our road and we still had a cell phone signal so Jeff came and got us. We *think* it's just a belt came off. I hope so anyway...that's the last thing we need right now!

How about my little dear deer, Grace? Well, today she started wanting to roam so we went on a little walk. She was pulling her bad foot and we ended up about 100 yards away from the house and UP a hill!
See her way up there?.....She did it herself!

Well, we spent the rest of the day running around like we were chasing a two year old! LOL! It wasn't that bad but she was really getting around today. We ended up putting her in the fenced in garden area for a while today where she would be safe. They have a very large garden area that is fenced and there is a lot of weeds, clover and stuff for her to munch on in there. One thing I have learned about deer is that they like a big variety in foods. She likes stuff but she doesn't want too much of one thing. She LOVES carrots but after 4 or 5 baby carrots, she's done and wants something else. We try but it's hard to imitate her grazing in nature. Now, we are having to start to deal with new wounds on her good leg. She had cuts that she got on the barbed wire that she keeps licking and opening up. Now, we have to try to treat those as well. She's a little mess!

Alison has been making Christmas cards -- here's a few of her creations....
