A Blanket for me! The Best Inspiration

My First granny Square in Over a decade!




I had to follow a basic granny square pattern. It was hilarious. The last time I made a granny square I was 17! I think that was the last timeI followed a pattern too.
Well I had to pump out 100 of these 4 x 4 squares keep ten and mail out the rest all over the U.S. to other members in my crochet group. I wish I had a picture of my Dad taking them to the post office. LOL! This was the first,most exciting and inspiring project I ever took part in; and the squares I received were awesome. Mother's Day was wonderful! I could not wait to wake up and see what kind of squares were in the mailbox.
Making the rounds, creating a layout design (Thanks to My daughter) and then attaching them and making the final two rows was such tedious work but well worth the work.

Look At The Beautiful Squares!

Whelp! I have to take another picture of my finished AFGHAN!
This should inspire me to search through piles of items in my closet, and take out my camera, layout my Afghan for a perfect photo with a crazy kitty and rambunctious grands in the way, then upload a photo! AARRGGHH! LOL!
Love and Blessings

September was full of fabulous birthdays and getting out my fall fashion hats! Take a Look!   Mary's Birthday Bows       Mommy's 70th B'day Throw   These 50 squares were made in secret nightly, in August and put together in September just in time for Mommy's  birthday! She checks on me to see what I am crocheting often, because like a faithful mom she is supportive and enjoys the finished projects. She loved this throw and asked when I did it; I told her how and when of course. This was a real inspiration  A'neya's Hair Wear were fun to make! The head band with heart is actually from a  her favorite too small shirt she did not want to part with and the crocheted purple & animal print headband has the heart shaped button from another too tiny outfit she  adored. The look on her face when she realized those tiny treasures were timeless! The cats on the florets are to recognize our silly kitty she named Peaches. These ar

Well it's been some years venturing off into other venues and I find myself returning to my passion of crocheting, Especially since the lost of nephew last week. The young people today are a different breed. So quick to shoot and kill, but I often wonder do the ponder, this can't be taken back, or undone, and the tragic ripple effect. Parents lose children on both sides one in the grave the other in jail for most of their life. The pain parents endure laying a child to rest, the families, and friends left behind to try to move forward. THINK THINK THINK hard before you pull that trigger or even consider touching a GUN!!! #tylivesforever
