Crochet Baby Pod
My first attempt at a baby pod. This was actually the first thing I made when I started crocheting, but I wanted to wait to post pictures until it actually had a baby in it! :)
The color is a little off in these pictures. The color is actually a deep teal, but it looks more like hunter green, will try to get some better pictures later.

Around Town - Jazz Jams 04, May 19 2012
Here it is...more long awaited (or at least as "long awaited" as something can be 4 days after the fact) video from Jazz Jams at Uptown Altamonte from May 19, 2012. These videos feature Paul "Shilts" Weimar on the saxophone. Enjoy :)

The 2nd musician on stage was Paul Shilts Weimar, a.k.a. "Shilts". Not only is he a great saxophonist but he was also quite funny.
I got several decent pictures of him...here they all are in one place, for you viewing pleasure. :)
Again, if you've never been to one of the Jazz Jams concerts, at Cranes Roost Park in Altamonte Springs, FL, you definitely need to check it out!

Around Town - Jazz Jams 02, May 19 2012
As promised...here are a few video clips of Matt Marshak, live at Jazz Jams in Altamonte Springs, FL.
Sorry for the shakiness of the camera in the first few seconds of this first video....I promise it doesn't last long. :)
This 2nd video is one of my fave's from the day! Talk about being in the right place at the right time!
Around Town - Jazz Jams 01, May 19 2012
This past Saturday I decided to join a few friends at Cranes Roost Park in Altamonte Springs for Jazz Jams, an event sponsored by 102.5 WLOQ. I am so glad I did! It was perfect weather and the musicians were wonderful. As always, you know you can count on me to take more than enough pictures! AND...drumroll please, I recently purchased a new USB video camera so you can also experience some of the sounds, as well as the sights!
The first musician was Matt Marshak. He was so good, that I'm thinking one of his albums will probably find its way into my dad's hands by way of a birthday or Christmas gift. (If you are reading this and you know my dad...shhhhh...don't tell!)
Anyway, I took SO many pictures and video that there is no way I can fit them all into one blog post, so be sure to check back over the next couple of days, as I have enough content to fill 3 or 4 posts. I promise to have them all posted this week!
Oh, and if you've never made it out to Jazz Jams before, this should most DEFINITELY be the summer that you give it a try....for more info visit: http://www.1025wloq.com/pages/jazzjamsuptown.html

A Blanket fit for a Nephew :)
For my nephew's 2nd birthday, I made him this crochet blanket. I used an assortment of colors (taupe, grey, hunter green, navy blue, medium blue and turquoise). I came up with the pattern myself and I am extremely happy with how it turned out!
What do you think?

Crochet Blanket for a New Niece
My sister is having a baby girl! So being the good Aunt that I am, I just HAD to crochet a blanket for this new little bundle of joy!
As you know, I just started crocheting during the last week of December, 2011. So, since I had NO IDEA how to read or follow a crochet pattern, I was forced to make one up....I think I might have a knack for designing my own creations, because this blanket turned out much cuter than many of the patterns that I looked at and attempted to decipher!
