backlog

oh boy, catching up on the backlog.
Last weekend and for a few days after my mom and sister came to visit! I hadn't seen my mom in 4 years (she lives 500 miles away) and my sister was last here two years ago for a few days visit. It was AWESOME to see them and have them here. Mom doesn't travel so well anymore so it was a nice surprise that she could make the trip here...they drove. So the week was busy busy, lots of driving, visiting, back and forth from work to home to my other sister's, get up and do it all over again. I swear it took me all week and the weekend to catch up on rest. I even crocheted my mom's cottage socks and gave them to her and she loved them!! She used to knit socks and sai-washes (sp?) all the time so to impress her with my stuff felt good. I have pics on my digital cam but it's at home.
I made one of the one-skein scarfs for my niece and sent a few presents back with my sister to deliver too. All in all we had a great time.
I've been working on a few snuggle blankies as well, and got one of the Lacy ladylike gloves made and starting the second this week. Sorry for the post without pics, I wasn't on my computer at home at all this weekend, which is so unlike me, but I just figured I was going to totally R&R and relax and read and crochet. Thank goodness it's a long weekend coming up too. oooooh, this seems like a boring post...I'll get back up to speed I promise!!
