Hey y’all,
It’s been a gazillion years (ok, so only 9 months) since I posted anything here. Much has happened since then. Fingers crossed that I have much more to post on a continuous basis (it sure is hard to crochet with crossed fingers 🙂
Be kind. Be well. Be blessed. And give it away!
From my nose to my toes! Blankie for daughter’s boyfriend. He’s tall!
Blankie for my great niece. So far, it measures 44.5″ wide with a length in the upper 20″. On its way to being 60″ long. These are TINY stitches!
Doesn’t this just scream happy, hippie, summer festival tie-dye??
For Axel

For my friend’s son Axel, who is turning 9 really soon, because he’s a cool kid. I will always remember that he came to visit me in the hospital after one of my surgeries. So sweet!
This blanket measures approx. 47X63 and was created with a 6mm/J hook using the only stitch I know how to do (so far :)).
Be kind. Be well. Be blessed. And give it away!
For Anna

The blanket for Teresa’s roommate, Anna, is finally complete! This one measures approximately 45″ X 64″ and was created with a K/6.25 mm hook. A blanket this size takes anywhere from 3-6 months to complete, depending on how much time I devote to it.
Stay warm Anna!

New Projects are Looming
Posted on: March 30, 2011
First attempt - fail!
Houston - we have a problem
Now we're getting "ahead"
Hat 1.0 complete!
Just modeling, but toasty warm!
Â
I’ve gone 3D again, this time with a Knifty Knitter Loom. It’s a little intimidating when 8 year olds effortlessly demonstrate this gadget on YouTube and my first one botched – badly. But then it worked!
This first hat is for my Grand Nephew or Grand Niece, yet to be born. Then there shall be much Knifty Knitting for the local homeless shelter for Christmas time. So much fun.
Be kind. Be well. Be blessed. And give it away!

Great!

I’m going to be a Great Aunt! Not a mediocre one. Not even an average one. But a great one 🙂
You know you’re getting older when the little munchkin niece is having a little munchkin – due on Easter Sunday!
This blanket measures 25 1/2″ X 27 1/2″. It was created with a G/4.25mm/my eyes are falling out of my head because of this itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny hook.
Be kind. Be well. Be blessed. And give it away!
Feel the Love

Whew - tough climb up here!
Â
I'm guarding the blankets. Oh wait - my arms don't bend.
Â
Looks like I completely missed the Valentine’s Day deadline for this one. But feel the love anyway.
My husband’s company “adopted” several families for the Christmas holidays. One of those families will be followed closely throughout this whole year, as they are homeless. They are not on the streets, per se, but are having to “couch surf” from house to house. They also have triplet boys who had their first birthdays on Valentine’s Day.
It breaks my heart that these little guys, especially, don’t have what many of us take for granted – a bed and a space to call our own. So the least I could do was wrap them up in some warm, blue fuzzies. There might be some teddy bears in the near future as well.
The blankets each measure 39″ X 42″ with a somewhat weighty yarn and large stitches.
Here’s to you Julian, Gavin and Forest. May you, and all children, grow up feeling safe, secure and loved.
Be kind. Be well. Be blessed. And give it away!

Priceless

I crochet many items to give away, but it’s rare to get such an uplifting form of feedback. When I was exceptionally down and out from the accidents and impending surgeries, I found a sweet gal, in another state, through the Make A Wish foundation. She had a humble request for a room makeover in *PINK*. I had a ton of pink yarn and nothing but time on my hands.
Thank you, Celeste, for being an inspiration. You’re a rock star. Wishing you stellar health, much awesomeness, and a whole lota PINK!
Be kind. Be well. Be blessed. And give it away!

Mismatched Fabulousness
Posted on: January 6, 2011
Happy New Year, y’all!
Woo baby, check out those socks. They are not crocheted, I didn’t make them and I’m so not giving them away – but aren’t they yarntastic? These are Solmate Socks, made with recycled cotton and “mismatched with care in Vermont”. Does it get any better than that? My dream job would be to quietly sit in a corner of their production site and make mismatched socks till I’m 90. 🙂
Check out their site at www.socklady.com
As the socklady says, “Life’s too short for matching socks”.
