Light Sage, Carrot and Aspen Print

A few sewing projects from the past

Since I'm still working on my scarves for The Special Olympics

I didn't get my snowflake done today.

So instead I thought I'd share some items I made many many 

years ago that are still hanging around my MIL's house.

The pics were taken with a cell phone so the quality is

a little lacking but you get the gist! 

Green Snowman

Knot Kneed Snowman

My first sewing project

Snowflake Monday (1st)

Pattern from Snowcatcher (Nov. 9th 2009)

I still have to tuck the tails

and block it but my first 

SNOWFLAKE

is done!!!

I'm still one week behind since there's 

5 Mondays in the month of January

but I'll get caught up this week.

Once I'm ready to block I'll do a 

write up on that too!

You can find the pattern at 

Snowcatcher's Blog

Thanks for sharing Deborah!

Happy Hooking!

Seed Stitch Scarf

The scarf on the right is the Seed Stitch.

I really like the way it turned out.  NO holes!

This one will also be going to 

The Special Olympics

for Arizona State!

Thanks for looking!

Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas &

Happy New Year!!!

Whew where did December go?

Between the holidays and moving

(yes even on Christmas Day) it's 

hard to believe the New Year is upon us.

I hope everyone had a safe and 

wonderful Holiday Season!

I'm happy to be mostly unpacked

and back to crocheting.

On the hook for Project Linus

another ripple from 

Attic24 ~ Neat Ripple Pattern.

Cheers!  I've got some crocheting to do!

Project Linus and the V Stitch

Project Linus

Couple thoughts that have been floating through my mind off and on

for many years, so I thought I'd share...

I've always wanted to do some kind of volunteer work but since I was

busy raising my own kids, I was selfish with my time.  Not a bad thing

just the truth!  Now that the kids are grown, the itch is still there and 

you know what that means....

I've incorporated my latest hobby into something that gives back to 

the community.  Yep, I crochet blankets/afghans for Project Linus.

This is a great way for me to volunteer anytime because I can crochet

anywhere; at home mostly but you can take it to the park, on the bus,

waiting for an appt. where ever, when ever!  Plus I can control my

volunteer time and donation.  To me this is a perfect fit!

So who gets these blankets/afghans???  Children!  From premie

newborns up to teenagers!  So for now, and maybe forever, I've found

my place to volunteer that fits my lifestyle and their needs.

Happy Hooking!  

Crochet Scarf with V Stitch

The two scarves I finished over Labor Day Weekend for 

my daughter.  Working on a third one for ME!

This is a fantastic quick & easy pattern that makes

a great accessory for many outfits.

I used Caron Simply Soft with an H hook.
