Hi , It has been a while since I have posted. Well , the Tigers lost the world series. They were just a little to young and inexperienced and the Cardinals were better.
Our little kitten Duchess was in the Vet Hospital over the weekend. She had an intestinal infection. She had to have a lot of iv fluids, and antibiotics . She did not eat for two days. She was real sick for a while, the vet said if we had waited any longer we would have lost her.She callapsed shortly after we left her at the vet's. She is back to her old tricks now , she is chasing the big cats around again. She even feels different when you pick her up now, before we took her to the vets she felt real lite and had no muscle tone.
The kids are out trick or treating, actually it was just Jacob, his sister Elizabeth took him out. Sharon is at a party with her boyfriend and Joseph is passing out candy.
Well, see you later

THE TIGERS ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES
Well, they did it. The tigers are on the way to the world series. Now we just have to see who they will play. Both my husband Jeff and my son Joe are jumping around like crazy people. I think they are happy. The air horn went off a couple minutes ago.

Fall is coming
It's starting to get cooler now . Of course the air conditioning is working now. Did not work in September , but it is working now. Now it is cool . At least will be able to blow the warm air around with the fan in the ac fixed. Oh, well, at least the electric bill was down .
It is cooling down here in Oklahoma. Time for more crocheting and such. I got a nice wheeled sewing cart at the thrift store. It is a little scuffed up , but for $3 it is pretty good. I can get the sewing machine out and can at least repair the things that need to be fixed.
The man from work that I was making the afghan for had to leave town on a family emergency last week , so I put his afghan up for now.
I am knitting myself a scarf, knitting is good. I am still a crocheter at heart though. I got a real nice bone crochet hook in the mail today. I found it on eBay.
You can find a lot of great stuff on eBay. I have found some really great hairpin lace forks. One is about one and a half inches wide. The biggest is about eight inches wide. I have fallen in love with the bone and ivory hooks and hairpin looms. I also found some K-tel knitters on line. Follow my webshots link to see my eBay finds and some neat thrift store finds.

THE TIGERS WIN OVER THE YANKEES
Jeff is happy , his Tigers beat the Yankees.
Maybe now the talking heads on ESPN, ET all. will shut their mouths and stop yakking about how much better the Yankees are that the Tigers , who are supposed to be "a team who came in the playoffs through the back door". Back door , front door, roof who cares how they got in , they beat the Yanks.
Detroit has been good all year and showed how they can hold on and come back to win.
This is amazing considering how bad their had been over the last few years
Here are some photos of the celebration. The following is a link to more photos of the Tigers and the Yankees.(the following pictures are not mine , I got them from the following site)

Hello
My husband's (Jeff) Detroit Tigers beat the Yankees in the second game of the wildcard playoffs today. He is happy about that, which makes me happy.
We finally got the AC fixed , the landlord got over here and changed the motor , it only took him 5 weeks to do it.
It broke the first of September, usually it starts cooling down in September. From high 90's to the lower 90's. Even in October it has been pretty warm. Up in the high to mid 80's. That makes it really hot in the house.
Here is half afghan I made for work . I use it a shawl. It is in Simply Soft yarn and the pattern is the box stitch.Here is a link to how to make this stitch pattern.

It is a really fast stitch to do and depending on what type of yarn you use you can make all kinds of things with it.

My first sweater
This is the first sweater I have ever made, it did not take very long , it was made out of raglan sweater general instructions. One of the ladies I work with wants me to make her one. 
Right now I am making a afghan for one of the men I work with. He chose the colors he wants it made of . He asked me to make him one because all the other ones he has seen or had are too short to cover him , he is bout 6ft 2 ins.I will post pictures of that as I work on itTalk some more later.
