HAVE A BLESSED CHRISTMAS

I PRAY EVERYONE HAD A BLESSED CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR.

BEFORE AND AFTER

BEFORE



HOOKS THAT CAME WITH IT

AFTER

OLD HOOK CASE

MY HOOKS IN THEIR NEW HOME

A FRIEND FOUND THIS AT A LIVING ESTATE SALE AND THOUGHT OF ME. A FEW WEEKS AGO I LOST ALL OF MY HOOKS AND CRIED FOR SEVERAL HOURS WHILE I LOOKED FOR THEM. SHE TOLD ME I SHOULD BE ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH THEM NOW. THANK YOU SO MUCH NANCY! LOVE YOU!
I'LL KEEP MY OLD CASE TO USE WHEN I TRAVEL.

NUMBER THREE

ABIGAIL

THIS MAKES THREE PONCHO'S FOR THREE SISTERS.  NOW TO START ON HATS AND NECK WARMERS FOR NY AND NJ.

LITTLE RIVER CANYON

TIM

FALL

WE WENT AROUND THE CANYON ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO. I THINK THE COLORS MAY BE BETTER NOW.

TWO OF THREE PONCHO'S

ALYSSA

ADDISON

THESE WERE MADE FOR TWO OF THREE SISTERS. I AM STILL WORKING ON THE LAST ONE. HERE IS THE LINK TO THE PATTERN. I'VE MADE OVER A DOZEN OF THESE.

WHEELCHAIR LAPGHAN

I'M NOT SURE WHERE THIS LITTLE LAPGHAN WILL BE GOING. I NAMED IT PINE TREES AND AUTUMN LEAVES.
I'M NOT SURE WHAT I'M GOING TO DO WITH THE PUMPKIN EITHER. I JUST KNOW IT WILL BE COOKED.

FOR YOU ROSIE

UPDATE 10-23-12
SIZE I HOOK    WW YARN
FOR THIS LAPGHAN I CHAINED 116. THEN I WORKED A DC IN THE 3RD CHAIN FROM THE HOOK AND IN EACH CHAIN ACROSS. CHANGE COLOR CHAIN 2 AND TURN.

ROW 2: DC IN EACH CHAIN ACROSS. CHANGE COLOR. CH 2 AND TURN.

I USED HUNTER GREEN FOR MY MAIN COLOR AND USED  A DIFFERENT COLOR EACH TIME OF LEFT OVER BALLS OF YARN I WAS TRYING TO USE UP.

WHEN CHANGING COLORS IN DC LEAVE THE LAST TWO LOOPS OF YARN ON YOUR HOOK THEN YARN OVER WITH NEW YARN AND PULL LAST TWO LOOPS OFF. THEN CROCHET OVER ENDS AS YOU CROCHET.

WHEN I GOT TO SIZE I WANTED I SC AROUND ALL OFF THE AFGHAN AND SL ST TO FIRST SC.
I LEFT THIS ONE WITH A SIMPLE EDGING BECAUSE IT MAY GO TO A MAN.
YOU CAN ADD MORE CHAINS AT THE BEGINNING TO MAKE IT BIGGER AND ADD MORE ROWS. YOU CAN CHANGE THE HOOK SIZE TO MAKE IT A DIFFERENT SIZE. THIS PATTERN IS VERY FORGIVING SO YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT.
GOOD LUCK!

THIS IS A SIMPLE PATTERN AND I'M SURE I'M NOT THE FIRST TO DO THIS. IT'S JUST SOMETHING I CAME UP WITH FOR CHARITY BECAUSE IT'S SIMPLE AND QUICK. YOU CAN CHANGE THE COLORS AROUND AND MAKE IT LOOK DIFFERENT EVERY TIME.

BUSY WEEKEND

BURP CLOTHS FOR MCK

WHEELCHAIR LAPGHAN

WHAT TO DO?

I WASN'T THINKING WHEN I CUT OUT THESE LITTLE 12X12 BURIAL WRAPS. I'M NOT SURE THE NITE TIME BEARS IS APPROPRIATE OR NOT. SO I ONLY MADE THE ONE.
I DID CUT OUT SOME BIBS USING THIS MATERIAL FOR MCK AND I THINK I'LL CUT OUT SOME BURP CLOTHS AS WELL. THIS MATERIAL WAS DONATED TO ME BY AUNT JANELL, I LOVE HER SO MUCH.

I HAD THE LITTLE BLANKETS MADE ALREADY. I'M NOT REAL HAPPY WITH THE YELLOW GOWN AND PEACH BLANKET. MAYBE I'LL HAVE SOMETHING BETTER TO GO WITH IT BEFORE I HAVE TO MAIL THEM.
HAVE A BLESSED DAY!

READY TO SEW

I HAVE THE BABY BIBS ALL PACKED UP AND READY TO GO. I PLAN ON GOING TO THE POST OFFICE IN THE MORNING, JUST HOPE I REMEMBER TO TAKE THEM WITH ME. SORRY ABOUT THE CUSHION IN THE SWING I FORGOT TO REMOVE IT.
I WANTED TO SEW THE REST OF WHAT I HAD CUT OUT BUT I CAN'T FIND THE RIGHT COLOR OF SEAM BINDING TO GO WITH THEM. OH WELL THIS IS A START AND I KNOW THAT MARINE CORPS KIDS NEED THEM FOR THE BIG SHOWER THEY HAVE COMING UP.

IT'S BEEN AWHILE SINCE I'VE POSTED ON MY BLOG. I  LET LIFE GET IN THE WAY I GUESS. I WANT TO TRY AND POST PICTURES OF LAST YEAR AND THIS YEAR PROJECTS IF I CAN FIGURE THEM OUT.
TIM'S HEALTH HAS BEEN BAD FOR  AWHILE NOW BUT IS GETTING BETTER AFTER A 32 DAY STAY IN THE HOSPITAL IN MARCH AND APRIL {GALL BLADDER}.
MY GROOMING BUSINESS HAS ALSO GROWN. MY FREE TIME HAS SHRANK TO NEARLY NOTHING. THEN THERE'S FACE BOOK...
I'LL DO MY BEST TO POST HERE BECAUSE I REALLY MISS MY BLOG. I DO POP IN ON MY FAVORITE BLOGS TO SEE HOW EVERYONE IS DOING I JUST HAVEN'T BEEN LEAVING COMMENTS.

I AM STILL WORKING ON THE BIBS. I WANT TO GET AS MANY AS I CAN BEFORE I HAVE TO PUT THEM IN THE MAIL.

HAVE A BLESSED NIGHT.
