Crochet Me Crazy

I woke up to a very chilly morning and took Michael to work goats again today. The girls had to get up and feed the horses for Michael since he was going off. They took a ride after the horses were done eating and then I took them (Alison) to see Princess at the stables. Then, they had to go to the church for a singing rehearsal for the Valentine's Banquet. I hung around town waiting for them to get finished. And hey, I bought a lazy boy recliner rocker for $6.00!! When I asked the price and she told me, I had to get her to repeat it. It's old and it's been recovered but it's a good solid chair and is comfortable and it's not terrible looking, especially for 6 Bucks! I'll either put it in my bedroom or see if we can fit it in the living room. When Michael called for me to pick him up, I had to make the trek back out there where he was.

My girl, Gracie, is more precious to me than ever! She seems very content and happy. Jeff said when he comes on the porch around 4:30 in the morning, she comes over to see who it is. When I get up and go outside on the porch to drink my coffee, she comes over and I've noticed she's been sleeping when I'm on the porch in the morning. I think she stays up "watching" at night a lot and she feels comfortable once we're up and about and the dogs are out. She doesn't pay the dogs any mind anymore. They run around and bark and chase squirrels right beside her and she just looks....

Here is her sleeping yesterday morning....


I would say she's the most spoiled deer on earth with her apples, carrots, grain, hay, corn and grass we feed her every day but I know she's not because I saw a You-Tube of some people that have a deer that lives in their house and has her own bedroom!!! Check this out....
Dillie, the Pet Deer
I have all manner of little animals visiting my yard now. They have figured out where the food is! I have a whole slew of squirrels and all kinds of birds every day and I've just noticed that we have a little gray bunny visiting every night. I guess they are coming for her grain and corn.

Well, I had fun making this coffee mug cozy yesterday.



I think I will make a couple more of these. It was fun to make and I like it. Once again, I didn't use a pattern. I just looked at a picture of some others....really simple to do. I did have to increase because my cup is tapered but I think I will make some for a standard coffee coffee cup. I didn't get to use it yet! My son apparently used it before I did and it is was already in the camper this morning when I drank my coffee.
