I'm back!

Geesh...I guess I still need more practice at posting as I work on projects...I KNOW I've done more than this since September!!


Be sure to check out Julie at http://www.gleefulthings.com/blog She has lots of great patterns and crochet items. I hope to test her patterns soon!!

Squares for Facebook Swap!

I have been working on these squares since April!

 I'm finally done and getting ready to send them away... 

can't wait to see what I get back!!

I turned this pile of nearly done squares....

into this...all tagged and ready to mail out.

One side of the tag says,
"Crocheting is cheaper than therapy!"
One of my favorite quotes, not sure where I first saw it.

And the other side has my name and blog address.

The star was fun.

School colors and Red, White, Blue are always a favorite!

The one on the right was one of the first I didn't really follow a pattern.
I guess I was feeling brave...and now I am just addicted!

The one on the left was a difficult pattern to follow.
I had to do the hearts first, then work them together.

I had fun with lots of different colors and patterns.

The yellow one is supposed to be butterflies.
I really liked the pattern for the bottom left one.
I did that one a couple times, switching colors more often.

I also did quite a few regular "granny squares".
They were easy to do in while traveling,
since I didn't have to follow the pattern.

I think the one with the purple flowers
looks like a frog pond!

Another tough one in the top right corner.
The friendship ring - had to take this apart a couple
times before I finally got it right.

More basic grannies.

I really liked the brown and pink camouflage!
I have another project in mind for this yarn!
I will definitely post it when it is done.

I am mobile!

I am able to post from the iPad now...no excuses for not keeping this thing up to date!

Here is a board I re-covered to match the new colors at the office...I love it it! (Note: the dog thinks a staple gun is a real gun... He ran and hid while I was working on it.)

Here we go...

OK - this is me posting to a blog. I am excited and nervous to start blogging. I want to share my craftiness and my love of God.

I have read that people blog for self confidence...that may be what I am looking for.

 Upcoming...I will be teaching my first crochet class. Should I tell them that I JUST taught myself this past year? Maybe that tidbit can wait until the last class. :)  Prayers needed for a great first run at teaching an Adult Education Class.

Currently: Helping my friend Julia add graphics to her poetry so she can publish a book.  She is an awesome writer, I enjoy reading every word!!

Also, I have 38 of 52 12-inch Granny Squares done for a swap that is due by early September...REALLY NEED TO GET THOSE DONE!!  I will post some pics of my favorite squares.
