99 HATS

I THOUGHT I HAD OVER 100 HATS. I GUESS I FORGOT TO TAKE AWAY THE AMOUNT OF HATS I GAVE AWAY. I ONLY HAVE 99. SO IT'S BACK TO CROCHETING AGAIN. THE 5 THAT ARE NOT IN BAGS ARE ON THE TABLE DRYING.

LAPGHAN

I STARTED THIS IN NOV AND I FINISHED IT TODAY. IT'S A LAPGHAN FOR A FRIENDS MOTHER-IN-LAW.

MORE HATS

8 MORE HATS FOR ST. JUDE, 1 NEWBORN HAT TO GO WITH A BLANKET ALREADY MADE, 41 PREEMIE HATS AND 1 GIRLS PREEMIE BURIAL SET. I NEED TO MAKE MORE BURIAL SETS. BUT I'M USING UP LEFT OVER YARN AND THE SELF STRIPING YARN I DON'T LIKE FOR BLANKETS.

THE WAY HOME

THESE TWO BLANKETS AND TWO QUILTS WERE DELIVERED TO THE WAY HOME. IT'S A LOCAL CHRISTIAN MINISTRY FOR UNWED TEEN MOTHERS. THE HOUSE HAS ROOM FOR FOUR GIRLS AND THE HOUSE PARENTS. I WAS TOLD TODAY THAT THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HELP FORTY GIRLS SO FAR. THEY TAKE DONATIONS FOR THE BABIES, MOTHERS AND HOUSEHOLD ITEMS AND CLEANING ITEMS. I CAN'T BELEIVE I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THEM. THIS IS A PLACE I WILL BE DONATING TO AGAIN.

ANOTHER DONATION

MY SISTER-IN-LAW VICKI GAVE ME THESE THINGS TO MAKE MEMORY BOXES FOR EMMAZING GRACE FOUNDATION. I THINK THERES 22 BOTTLES OF PAINT , 3 BIG BOXES, 3 SMALL BOXES AND A LOT OF SCRAPEBOOKING MATERIAL. THANKS VICKIE. CAN YOU GUESS JUST HOW BAD I WANT TO PAINT? OH WELL, HOUSEWORK COMES FIRST TODAY. AT LEAST SOME OF IT.

IT'S FINISHED

I GOT THE BINDING SEWED ON MY LITTLE PLAYHOUSE QUILT. I SURE HOPE THE NEXT ONE TURNS OUT BETTER. THIS ONE IS ALL OUT OF SORTS. NOTHING IS EVEN. BUT I LOVE IT. I USED THE SATIN BINDING BECAUSE THE BABIES IN OUR FAMILY RUB THE BINDING WHILE GOING TO SLEEP. THEY WOULDN'T TAKE A NAP WITHOUT THEIR BLANKIE.
HARLIE'S BLANKIE WAS LOST AT DAYCARE. HER MOTHER GAVE HER AN OLD HOUSE COAT. IT WORKED. HARLIE CALLED IT HER SILKIE.

I'M FEELING BETTER

A FRIEND AND CO-WORKER OF MY HUSBAND WERE TALKING ABOUT MY CRAFTING LAST WEEK. I THINK IT STARTED WITH THEM TALKING ABOUT DR.'S. WE HAD THE SAME DR. TIM TOLD RODNEY THAT DR. STEVE GAVE ME $20.00 TO MAKE HATS FOR ST.JUDE. WELL TIM PULLED OUT $20.00 THAT RODNEY GAVE FOR ME TO MAKE WHATEVER WITH. HER IS WHAT I WAS ABLE TO MAKE. I STILL HAVE SOME MATERIAL FOR GOWNS. I HAVE TO PICK THE DAYS I CAN SEW. IT'S NOT LIKE CROCHETING, I CAN DO THAT ANYTIME. THE SEWING MACHINE SEEMS TO GIVE ME A LOT OF TROUBLE. THANKS RODNEY AND NINA. THIS HAS MEANT A LOT TO ME.

THIS IS WHAT I GOT OUT OF THE YARN THAT ALLYSON DONATED. THANKS AGAIN ALLYSON. 13 HATS FOR ST. JUDE AND 7 PREEMIE HATS FOR EMMAZING GRACE FOUNDATION.

WITH THE HELP OF THESE 3 PEOPLE WE WERE ABLE TO HELP A LOT OF PEOPLE. THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT. THANKS TO EVERYONE AGAIN.

AND THE WINNER IS

WELL THE WINNER OF MY CONTEST IS 2PAW. I'D LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE FOR THE NICE COMMENTS. I WISH EVERYONE COULD HAVE WON.

COCOA LOOKS SO MEAN. SHE WAS DOING EVERYTHING IN HER POWER TO GET THE NAME FROM TIM. I DIDN'T THINK I WAS GOING TO GET THE PICTURE. I GUESS SHE THOUGHT WE WERE PLAYING A NEW GAME. DON'T YOU JUST LOVE HER BLANKIE.

THE HAT WE USED WAS MY FATHER-IN-LAWS. FEB. 17 WILL BE A YEAR SINCE HIS PASSING.
