151/365 2011 I couldn’t help myself

151_5-31-11

Elvis is just too sweet to not take pictures of him. He decided to lay his royal highness down on the desk I was moving around.

150/365 2011 UFO

150_5-30-11

If you have ever visited yarn craft blogs, you will see the term “UFO”. It stands for UnFinished Object. Here’s my UFO… the baby blanket that I decided I’d rather not work on.

149/365 2011 Road trip

149_5-29-11

Tomorrow is Memorial Day and so today Jason and I decided to escape the house for a long drive. We drove up to Sedona and around through Jerome. I want to go back to Jerome when it’s not a holiday weekend and explore the old western town.

148/365 2011 Granny square Do-over

148_5-28-11

I ended up starting all over on my colorful granny square blanket. I wanted to use a smaller crochet hook than what I had started with. Elvis was kind enough to pose with my new squares.

147/365 2011 Guard Cat

Elvis is making sure that the creatures in our neighborhood don’t enter our yard.

146/365 2011 Graduation night

146_5-26-11

Jacob has made it through high school! Tonight he graduated from Desert Vista. This was a perfect opportunity to take pictures of my boys. They smiled and everything.

145/365 2011 Piggy bank

145_5-25-11
I’ve had this little wicker piggy bank longer than I’ve had kids. Every time I go through my things to get rid of stuff, this guy looks at me with those little plastic eyes and I just can’t part with him.

144/365 2011 Sneak out FAIL!

144_5-24-11

Tonight I had this feeling I should go check on Jacob before I went to bed. Glad I followed through…this is what I found. The old “pillows and clothing under the sheet” trick. He is SO busted.

143/365 2011 The look says it all

143_5-23-11

This is why I have so many pictures of my cat. Jacob is waiting until he can leave for school. His first class isn’t until 4th period.

142/365 2011 Pot Rack

142_5-22-11

This is my Ikea pot rack that we had to hang over our kitchen island. This house is truly lacking in the storage department. It’s been here for awhile but I forgot to take a picture of it.

141/365 2011 Organized mess

141_5-21-11

This is a large collection of “stuff” that I have no idea where to store in this house. So it just sits in our computer room/den. At least getting to the vacuum is easy.

140/365 2011 Favorite Shoes

140_5-20-11

Right now these are my favorite shoes. Super comfortable. I’ll put these on when I run errands after walking around barefoot and so they have my footprint embedded on them.

139/365 2011 Granny Squares

139_5-19-11

I am finally going to start my colorful granny squares blanket. I worked up two squares to get a feel for what I like.
