ANOTHER OUTFIT READY TO GO TO EGF.

ANOTHER GIRL'S BURIAL OUTFIT. I PUT A BALL OF YARN IN THE BONNET TO MAKE IT STAND UP. THIS WAS MADE USING MY PATTERN. I DID LEAVE OFF THE RUFFLE AND THE EDGING AROUND THE NECK.

HATS AND YARN

365 HATS. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT. DANA DELIVERED THESE BEAUTIFUL HATS TODAY. SHE SAID SHE HAD 200 OR SO THAT STILL NEEDED APPLIQUES PUT ON THEM. I HAVE THEM IN STACKS OF 5 SO I COULD TAKE THE PICTURE. SHE MAKES THEM OUT OF SOCK TOPS THAT WAS HEADED FOR THE LANDFILL. THANKS SO VERY MUCH DANA. YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH WE APPRECIATE IT. THESE HATS ARE GOING TO EGF.

SHE TOLD ME THAT BABY SAVANNAH WILL BE GOING HOME IN A WEEK OR TWO. I KNOW HER FAMILY IS SO HAPPY. I KNOW THAT SHE TOUCHED MY LIFE AND I'LL BE GLAD WHEN SHE'S AT HOME IN HER OWN LITTLE BED.

74 SKEINS OF YARN THAT AUNT JANELLE DONATED TO ME. SHE FOUND IT AT A YARD SALE IN GA. I'LL MAKE AFGHANS OUT OF IT IN THE FALL. THANKS AUNT JANELLE, I LOVE YOU DEARLY.

BRACLETS AND MORE BRACELETS

AUNT JANELLE MADE THESE LITTLE BRACELETS FOR EGF. THEY WILL BE GOING TO OHIO TO A NILMDTS PHOTOGRAPHER.HOPE YOU LIKE THEM THERESA. THERE'S 42 BRACELETS.

THESE ARE THE BRACELETS AUNT JANELLE AND I MADE. SHE LOVES TO DO BEAD WORK SO I ASKED HER IF SHE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE BRACELETS FOR ANGEL PREEMIE BABIES. WELL AS YOU CAN SEE SHE WAS MORE THAN WILLING TO. THANKS SO MUCH AUNT JANELLE. I'M SO GLAD YOU MOVED TO AL. AND 28 MAKES 70 IN ALL.

FRILLY PINK BURIAL GOWN PATTERN

FRILLY PINK BURIAL GOWN
BY: KATHY

3 TO 5 POUND (ABOUT 15 INCHES LONG FROM CENTER NECK TO BOTTOM.)

MATERIALS NEEDED:
BABY YARN
J HOOK ( SO SORRY I HAD A G HOOK INSTEAD OF A J HOOK. THE G HOOK IS FOR 1-3 POUND BABIES. I HAD TO COPY A PATTERN FOR MYSELF, THAT'S WHEN I NOTICED IT. AGAIN I'M SO SORRY.)
WHITE RIBBON

STITCHES USED:
CH - CHAIN
SL ST - SLIP STITCH
YO - YARN OVER
SC- SINGLE CROCHET
HDC - HALF DOUBLE CROCHET
DC - DOUBLE CROCHET
V-STITCH ( DC, CH1, DC IN SAME STITCH)

NO GAUGE IS NEEDED BECAUSE THIS PATTERN IS VERY FORGIVING. I LEAVE ALL MY GOWNS OPEN IN THE BACK SO THE ANGEL BABIES CAN BE EASILY DRESSED. IF YOU FIND ANY PROBLEMS LET ME KNOW BECAUSE THIS PATTERN HAS NOT BEEN TESTED AND I'M REALLY NOT THAT GREAT AT WRITING PATTERNS.

HERE IS A LITTLE PINK AND WHITE OUTFIT MADE USING MY PATTERN WITH SHORT SLEEVES INSTEAD OF LONG SLEEVES.. I LIKE THIS ONE BEST. IT STILL NEEDS A BRACELET TO GO WITH IT. MY AUNT AND I ARE GOING TO MAKE BRACELETS TOMORROW. AS ALWAYS THIS WILL BE DONATED TO EGF.

READY TO SHIP

I REALLY DIDN'T LIKE THE SLEEVES ON THIS GOWN. I WALKED ACROSS THE ROAD TO GET THE ADVISE OF MY NEW NEIGHBOR. SHE LOVED THE GOWN BUT SUGGESTED I PUT A LITTLE PIECE OF RIBBON IN THE SLEEVES TO TIGHTEN THEM UP. IT WORKED. NOW I LOVE THE GOWN, IT'S PERFECT. SO IT'S OFF TO NILMDTS TOMORROW IN THE NAME OF EGF. I'M ALSO SENDING 10 LITTLE BRACELETS.
