Shhh!

Our cable, internet, and phone have been out since about 6pm.  It was  WONDERFUL evening with the hubs and kids.  There was very little fighting, we played games, and I was able to get two small pieces made.
After everyone went to bed, I remembered that we still have some time left on our mobile web thingy.  We always buy a little time when we are on vacation, but we never end up using it all, and some of the minutes get wasted.  I am glad that I remembered about it because I was able to save a few extra patterns to my computer, to keep myself busy tonight.
I have my hooks, yarn, patterns and the movie Elf (one of my favorite movies ever!) to keep me company. 
So, this post will just be our little secret!  No need to tell the hubs that I got my interwebz fix after he went to bed.  ;)

Amazing

It is amazing how much can get done AFTER the kids are in bed.  Don't get me wrong, my kids are wonderful!  They kept each other busy for a while today while I crocheted and wrote.  I was able to make 2 pieces and write the pattern.  Of course I had to stop a lot to break up fights and get drinks and switch games and make lunch and clean messes and and and.....(the life of a stay at home mom)  That was all the kids had patience for though.  I had to wait to get pictures up and the pattern typed out.  I am not always so lucky, so I am very happy to have gotten so much done in one afternoon. 
Now it is time to upload the pictures and pattern.

Pictures and pattern is up!  Here it is!
This was the first one I made.  There are a couple others pictured with the pattern.
