Some pictures

This is the dreamcatcher my "niece" Jamie and my "sister" Frances made me for my birthday. I got it after Christmas because "you were far away on your birthday, Aunty Dawn." I love that the webbing makes a star in the center. When Mom was hanging it, Jamie told me that she has a dreamcatcher, too. Mom asked her if she knew who had made it, and she shrugged. Her eyes got huge when I told her I made it for her when she was a little baby (she's four now). "You made my dreamcatcher, Aunty Dawn? Now *I* made one for *you*!"





Here are the "snugglin' boys" -- Rebel in the background, Rommel in the fore. Can you believe Rommel isn't even a year old yet?

Yes, that's my Reba girl all cocooned in my old baby blanket. She gets chilly after having her hair cut (which she did yesterday), so Mom covers her up -- usually only when we go to bed, but Mom decided Reba might want to take a nap while I had a bathroom break this afternoon. Personally, I think Mom just spoils the dog!

This pic is for Lynlee. A few months ago, L had a "guess how many full skeins of yarn I have" contest, and I won third place. The prize was yarn. Some of my loot was Lion Brand Watercolors yarn, and Mom and I decided to make my eight-year-old second cousin Selena a poncho because she LOOOOVES pink -- and I thought she'd look great in this hot pink (she has beautiful skin thanks to her Hispanic daddy). Rather than crocheting the tie like the instructions said, we decided to thread some coordinating turquoise ribbon through the neck. The poncho was a massive hit with Selena.

Well, this has been fun, but dial-up takes forever to upload the pics. I'll try to post more tomorrow. Have some pics of my pals in NOLA I'd like to share.
