OK! Here I am getting brave with my knitting. I joined the Mystery Stole 4. Several ladies in my knitting group are doing it and I figured "Why not". I've never worked with lace, small needles or bead, but never fear.........I have friends who are working on the same piece of knitting so if I have any questions???? Someone will always be able to answer them for me.

Wish me luck...........or better yet join us!

Help Harley from Yorkie Friends Rescue.

2008-03-27T15:17:00.002-04:00

This is so sad.............My name is Harley and I am about four years old and weigh just under four pounds. A nice lady found me running the streets and called Yorkie Friends Rescue to come and get me. I have just gotten home from four days in the hospital where the doctor said I have liver disease and abcessed teeth. My medical bills are already over $1,000. Could you please find it in your heart to help Yorkie Friends Rescue with my medical bills? I would really appreciate it. I am still very ill. Even though I am very small, I am very possessive of my foster mom. I should be in a home with no other pets. My new prospective owner should understand that I will require vet trips every two months and $35 worth of medication every month. My life expectancy is expected to be short. Please do not request to adopt me unless you are financially able to handle my medical bills and vet trips. If you would like to know more about me, you can contact my foster mom at
Vicki2480@aol.com. My adoption fee is $75.00. Please check the website on how you can help donate money to Yorkie Friends Rescue.

YFR Needs Help

2008-03-26T14:19:00.002-04:00

PLEASE HELP JERSEY!!!!!!!!!

JERSEY IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION AT THIS TIME, BUT HE NEEDS YOUR HELP........................

His blood work results showed abnormal liver and renal function and his ultrasound test showed multiple stones in his bladder ,kidneys and he also has multiple liver shunts. He needs to have an emergency surgery to remove the bladder stones now and then he will have his liver shunt surgery at the University of Florida where they are familiar with this type of surgery. It is a very dangerous surgery for this little boy.It is more likely that Jersey will need more surgeries in the future and probably medication for the rest of his life. We will do whatever is necessary to keep him comfortable. Any donations toward his surgeries and medications are greatly appreciated.

Please send any donations to:

I love getting pictures of the kids at Christmas time. This is my sister Kelly's 2 - Wyatt and Jessica...
And this is my sister Dawn's 2 - Allen and Eva...
And my sister Debbie's 4....Stephanie, Jessica, Melanie, and Matt.

On the crocheting front: Got the Lacy Cardigan almost done. Put it together and did the bottom edging. Just have to do the neck edging and the sleeves and the right and left bands, put on a few buttons and it should be ready to wear by 1/2!!! Will post a picture when done!

Happy New Year!

December 27, 2007

2007-12-27T10:08:00.001-05:00

Finally finished my SWTC Bamboo top. Got the yarn and free pattern from Knit N Knibble in Tampa FL . It was the first textured stitch I did. The only modifications I did was the neck edge I made it a little lower and did a reverse half double crochet edging at the neck and a revers double crochet at the bottom edge. I think it came out great!

Happy Holidays to all!

December 23, 2007

2007-12-23T09:17:00.000-05:00

Here is a great picture of my sister Debbie's 4 kids. I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year! We are going to Sea World and Disney's Hollywood Studios (used to be called MGM) to see the Osborne Specticale of Dancing Lights!

On the knitting front: I FINISHED MY BAMBOO TOP! Hurray I can wear it for Christmas. I'll get a picture sometime next week. Got about 6-8" done on the sleeves for my first top with sleeves. This one is going to be amazing looking!

On the crocheting front: I think I ran out of black for my cardigan. Have to look through my stash again, or buy a skein or two!

On the Yorkie Front: We got a couple doggies adopted but there are more that need a new forever home. If you know anyone interested in making a lifetime commitment to a dog, please consider a rescue or ASPCA or Humane Society. www dot yorkiefriendrescue dot com

Also if you are on RAVELRY: say HI to YFRKerrie

Here's a picture of the Family. Eva's Christening! Too bad I couldn't make it. I heard everyone in NY had a great time. Boy do I miss my family especially this time of year. Hope everyone is having a Happy and Healthy Holiday!

On the crochet front: I finished the round ripple baby blanket. It came out cute. There is a picture on ravelry YFRKERRIE.......... Haven't picked up the crocheted black cardigan in a while.

On the knitting front: Still have to finish the edging on the bamboo top. Already started my next project. I am no longer a knitting monogamist.

On the Yorkie front: We have some great small dogs (not all Yorkies) on YorkieFriendsRescue.com so if you know anyone who is interested........HINT HINT HINT

On the Scuba front: Drove ALLLLLL the way to West Palm on Sunday and our dive was cancelled due to the waves being too high. Hopefully we will go to Crystal River this weekend and I will finally be certified (and have proof LOL).

Don't want to ruin it for anyone who is planning on going to MK..............but here is a picture of Cinderella's Castle at Magic Kingdom decorated for the holidays..............It is spectacular....Go if you can!

On the crocheting front: I finished the baby blanket in a round ripple. I got the pattern from someone's blog...I wish I could remember. I did the edging in a reverse single crochet. It came out wonderful!!! This will be the first blanket I will have to block because it is rippled. I guess because I used an "F" hook. Will take a picture when it is done.

On the Yorkie Front: Lucy got adopted! Yeah for her! Check the website www.YorkieFriendsRescue.com if you or someone you know wants a doggie! Remember to spay and neuter!

November 28, 2008

2007-11-28T15:55:00.000-05:00

OK. Finally uploaded the pictures off my camera. We went to Sea World Orlando in Sept and here is our family photo! We had such a great day. I love Shamu!

On the Yorkie Friends Rescue front: We got Zsa Zsa. She is a senior girl who needs some loving! Anyone interested, please go to our website: YorkieFriendsRescue.com
Been crocheting my "Color Me Square" (Yahoo Groups) December Pink 6" squares. They are coming out sooo cool. I try to do each one different.

2007-11-26T15:55:00.000-05:00

OK! This is my version of "The Dog Ate My Homework"...........The cat was laying on the yarn and I couldn't finish the project! LOL

I hope everyone had a great Turkey Day and know what you are grateful for! I have been vetoed for Christmas! I wanted Roast Beef but apparently everyone else wants my lasagna! I guess life could be worse. I started the black crocheted cardigan...got the back and two fronts done, will work on the sleeves tonight....Put the knitted bamboo top on the back burner for a little while. Crocheting goes so much faster. I'm on ravelry YFRKerrie if you want to stop and say HI!

On the Yorkie Front: Ozzie got adopted to a great home (even though Hubby said he would have been OK with another doggie).

The big fat 20 pound cat ~ Dusty gave us a big scare yesterday. He pushed open the window screen in the spare bedroom and went to terrorize the neighborhood. Luckily we found him safe and sound.

November 15, 2007

2007-11-15T09:55:00.000-05:00

One of the perks for working for the Big "D"...........I got 4 free tickets to Cirque for tonight's show at 6pm. Hubby and I are taking his sister and her hubby! Great Show!

On the Yorkie Front: Hubby said OK to "Foster" Ozzie. I already sent an email and hopefully we will get to meet him soon. Hubby was tooo cute and said to Oz this morning..........So how do you feel about getting a little brother????? I'm soooo excited!

On the Fiber Front: Going to the Convention this weekend. It better be worth it!

OK so it's only a Christmas Ornament but I think it should count!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the Yorkie side we got a new dog named Zsa Zsa who needs a new home. Look on YorkieFriendsRescue.com for more information:

Isn't she cute!

November 13, 2007

2007-11-12T12:39:00.000-05:00

This is scary!!!!!!!!!! My dog Oz looks just like this Ozzie that Yorkie Friends Rescue has! OMG I can't believe He is the spitting image of OZ!

If anyone wants to help a homeless dog, please think of adopting from a rescue.

November 12, 2007

2007-11-12T12:30:00.000-05:00

OK here are 3 more crocheted squares I finished for my Color Me Square Yahoo swap. This one is very thick with front post and back posts: This one looks cool but not as cool as the one above.

This one looks really cool with the white and black:

On the Yorkie Friends Rescue side: OMG there is a dog that looks just like my Oz and his name is Ozzie! I almost fell out of my chair!!! I'll post his picture tomorrow.

On the knitting front: Have about 4 more inches on my sleeveless shell to finish!!! Hopefully I will run out of pattern before running out of Bamboo yarn...LOL Maybe I'll have it ready to wear for Turkey day since it's a cool 78 degrees here in FLA! Then I can start my next project with sleeves!

Great News! Sunny has been adopted by her foster family! They love her sooo much they can't part with her now. She has bonded with the other dog and they can't separate them. Isn't that wonderful! We need more people to take responsibilities for the animals!

After 10 years of working at the big D I received my plaque. Charlie and I had a nice dinner and enjoyed the music.

September 4, 2007

2007-09-04T20:09:00.000-04:00

Here is a picture of Charlie in the Keys. He was scuba diving with Nurse Sharks and I was on the boat sleeping. I was having issues with my ears, but we had a good time. He is now certified and I am still working on my scuba certification. Slowly but surely. Bill is a very good teacher from Fear Not Scuba in Sebring, FL. The shop is setting up outings and I hope to go to Crystal River and swim the the manatees. That would be too cool.

I finally finished knitting the back of my sleeveless top. I'm using SWTC bamboo and it is wonderful. Got the pattern from Knit and Knibble in Tampa. Great Yarn!

September 2, 2007

2007-09-02T10:19:00.000-04:00

Here is a picture of the red top I knitted. Of course Oz had to get in the picture. I got the pattern off knitty.com I used Patton's brilliant for the yarn. It's worked in the round until the sleeves.

Oh yeah! I got at least 6 inches cut off my hair too.

Too bad I couldn't get pictures of my surprise. My hubby and I are getting certified in scuba. He completed all his dives and has his certification. I on the other hand have ear issues and will be working on them so I can get certified soon.

There are dog items and people items. The link is http://search. ebay.com/ _W0QQsassZyfrbot ique

I've been very busy lately, but it's a secret. Hopefully I will be able to post a picture after 8/26 of what I did on my summer vacation. Hubby and I get to spend lots of quality time together.

My sister Andrea had a baby Boy! His name is Jake and his sister Eliza and Mom and Dad are happy to have him join the family.

Still crocheting and knitting. Finished a baby blanket for my sister Dawn in NY. She is having a baby girl. It's white with a pink ruffle. Should have a picture posted soon. I made a simply soft baby blanket for my cousin Megan in VA. It is a traditional Granny Square in Pink, Purple and White with a white shell edging. Very pretty. Again I should take pictures soon.

Went to the Seminole County Pet Adopt-A-Thon yesterday. It is kind of sad to see how many animals have to be rescued. Please spay and neuter your pets!

Still on the NS and haven't cheated!

March 13

2007-03-13T13:26:00.000-04:00

Today is day 9 on NS and 147 days until my birthday! OK sooo for all of you wondering...............I have not cheated! I went to Red Lobster with my cousin Dawn on Sun and ate very healthy (not the usual) and had enough for lunch the next day. Still haven't weighed myself, but I can tell the clothes are feeling a bit loose.

Went the the crochet meet up on Sunday at Borders. They are such a nice bunch of ladies! I am fortunate to have found them! Finally finished my american flag afghan and had a picture taken of it. Now just to download it. It is going to be raffled off for the Yorkie Friends Rescue. Hopefully we will make some money on it.

Have a great day!

Can you tell I am itching for a cruise!? It's been a couple years since I did the Disney Cruise and I miss it. Hopefully we will go next year!

Day 5 on the diet and 151 days to go! I still haven't cheated! WOO HOO. Lets see if I pass this weekend's test?! Is the suspense killing you? Gotta drink more (WATER)!

This is a picture of Oz and Charlie. This is the first time Oz ever went to the beach. He didn't care for it!

Day 4 on my diet and still haven't cheated. Feeling pretty proud of myself!

March 7 Kerrie

2007-03-07T14:36:00.000-05:00

This is one of my favorite pictures of Oz and Me. I was working on my Cinderalla Cross Stitch and Oz was looking over my shoulder. It took me 2 years to finish it and it came out amazing!

Day 3 of the new diet on NS. Still haven't cheated!

March 6 Kerrie

2007-03-06T09:46:00.000-05:00

Going through pictures and found my sister Andrea's baby shower pictures. Doesn't she and Mom look great?

So did NS day 1 yesterday (and I didn't cheat)! Day 2 today. I think I like the cereal better than the granola bars. Maybe it's mental but I felt more full yesterday.

I hope everyone has a great Tuesday!

2007-03-05T15:44:00.000-05:00

OK. You've seen pictures of the doggie so here are the kitties. The big one on the left is Dusty. He is the same age as Oz about 7 and the kitty on the right is Hess. Guess which gas station Hubby found him in? Hess adopted us right before Hurricane's Charlie, Ivan and Francis. They are too cute and Hess hasn't lost his kittenish ways. Good excercise for the big fat cat! They are both on our 3/4 wall between the kitchen and the dining room.

Went to the WDW Junior Achievement Bowl-A-Thon yesterday and boy am I sore! I haven't bowled in over 10 years. I won a prize! I got the piggy bank for having the lowest score! It gets donated every year. I am so proud! But I broke 100 and I was happy. Sore but happy! I didn't even mind missing my Knit Wit meet up.

Started NS food today. Doesn't taste bad! I liked the cheese tortalini I had for lunch and the chocolate pb bar for snack. I think I might be able to make my goal of 130 pounds by my birthday in 155 days. Wish me luck!

2007-03-02T09:33:00.000-05:00

I love this picture of Oz dressed up like Mickey Mouse. I normally don't dress the dog. OK I lied, he has 1 Harley Davidson shirt and one sweater in camo also that I crocheted. But he is too cute! He hated this! LOL

I ordered Nutra System and it should arrive today. Looking forward to loosing weight. My goal is to be 130 by my birthday in August. Wish me luck!

Have a great day!

2007-03-01T16:01:00.000-05:00

Here's a picture of my sister Kelly with her two kids Wyatt and Jessica in Jamacia! I am so jealous! They looked like they had a great time! Not too much sunburn. Maybe next year they will come and visit the big cheese again in Central Florida!

I foundd the business card for Yarns Forever. Dianne had the great yarn and fiber for spinning from the Sewing Expo I went to this past weekend in Tampa. Dianne is a really great lady very nice. The web address is www.yarnsforever.com and I believe she does either hand painted and hand dyed yarn and they were georgous! Take a look!

2007-02-27T13:31:00.000-05:00

I finally finished my decoupage plate. I put more green tissue paper and hubby finally spray painted the back with gold. It has a couple of air bubbles but practice makes perfect.

I ordered Nutra System today so hopefully I will be down to my ideal weight 130 pounds by my birthday in August!

Still knitting my 2nd top with the burgundy yarn. It's done "knitting in the round" and I got about 6 inches done and need 6 inches more before I can work on the front and back portions. It's going fairly quickly. Still finishing the stars on the American Flag Afghan that is going to be raffled for YFR. Can't wait to see how it looks completed.

I wanted to share this picture I received of my sister Andrea, her hubby Dan and their baby girl Eliza. It was taken at Christmas 2006. I am excited to meet Eliza for the first time in March. She was born May 2006.

This past weekend I was at the Original Sew and Quilt Expo at the Tampa Convention Center. I was asked to volunteer my time with knitting and crocheting. I met some wonderful ladies and bought some yummy yarn. The yarn was from the South West Trading Company called Bamboo and it is sooo soft and wonderful. Can't wait to finish the top I am working on to make this new one. I bought it from www.knitnknibble.com. The yarn is varigated with purple, blues and pinks. I think it will look great when it is done. I wish there were more interest in the knitting and crocheting part of this Expo. It is mostly sewing. I met another lady who had fiber for spinning and hand dyed yarn. Have to find that business card!

Got to spend the weekend at my friend's Karens. Always a good time over there! Greatful hubby is so understanding!

Have a great day!

This is the picture of the finished sleeveless top I knitted. I am very proud of this. It is technically my 2nd knitted project and my first top. Working on my next one in a red color. Donated Blood yesterday for the first time since High School. I learned a valuable lesson. Yogart is not breakfast when donating. Need to eat eggs for breakfast. Left work early since I was still feeling yucky after I ate lunch. Went home, took a nap and woke up with a horrible headache. Thank goodness I feel better today. Going to the Sewing Expo at the Tampa Convention Center on Thurs, Fri, Sat. Stop by and say HI! I will be teaching crocheting. Not sure if I will make it to the Pet Rescue Roundup in Historic Downtown Melbourne for the Yorkie Rescue on Sunday. If anyone is interested, it's from 10am-4pm. If you see the YFR representatives make sure you say HI!

Here is a picture of Oz and myself from Paws in the Park on 2/10/07. Four of us had a great time. Poor Jenn had to work. Between the 5 of us we raised approximately $475. for the SPCA of Central Florida. I hope to do this again next year.

Still working on the Americana Afghan. I hope to have it done by Sat/Sunday.
