Grandson's Christmas Afghan Finished

 

Sharing with you what I have been working on for the last few month's. 

I saw an afghan on the front cover of the little Bernat pattern booklet I get in the mail, and thought I do believe I could make my DGS a twin size blanket for his bed. 

What looks Brown is actually a Grey color.  Don't know why it turned out to look Brown. 

One of my friends her Son-in-law works on a River Boat, and I told her it would be so cute to make one for her grandson with Boats on it since it is ripple. 

I did not have a pattern in full detail as how to make the afghan, so I just selected a Ripple Afghan, and did a search for some little vehicle's. 

I could only find a car, truck, and fire truck.  Only 3 on this afghan are from free patterns and I made up the rest of them myself. 

There is a tractor on the 2nd row from the top which I will share a picture of it here too.  I was kind'a proud of myself for making it up without a pattern, and the rest of the vehicle's too.  Hope you enjoy viewing my creating, yet not my original idea for the afghan.

Five Hour Doily

 

 

Hello from South East Missouri again. 

This little doily is called a 5 hr. doily and it is

designed by Della Bieber.  You can find the

pattern here:

http://www.freepatterns.com/detail.html?code=FC00220&cat_id=308

 

This little doily I made with Bernat Handicrafter thread size 5 crochet thread

and size 5 boye hook.  The true color isn't showing in this pic. the color is

Linen, and a very pretty color. 

 

Our group Moderator hosted this CAL, and I made this with my group as our June CAL.  I will be hosting a July CAL

in my group using a small doily that won't take long to make. 

 

Important to joining my craft group.

 

I've had a few to request to join my group although they did not 

 send back the questionnaire they received when they clicked

to join.

 

My group is private and I want to keep my group as

safe as I possibly can, and I do think that most

people appreciate this.

 

I do not approve anyone that does not return the questionnaire.

I give you ample time to return the questionnaire, and even in

some circumstances write the pending member to see if they

received the questionnaire, and if they do not respond in a

couple days I assume they are not going to reply, and I then

reject their request to join my group.

 

Hope this helps anyone that has tried in the past to join my group, by way of this blog, and was

not approved to know the reason why.

 

Have a nice day!

Snowflakes I've made this year to date..........

Some of these are ones I've designed since last August, and others are snowflakes from the web.
I do love making snowflakes, and they are just gorgeous hanging on the branches of the tree.

Enjoy!

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY TO ALL MY FOLLOWERS, AND FRIENDS!

 

 

Hello Family, friends, and followers,

 

I am very thankful for the freedom we have here in

our country!

 

My husband served in the Viet Nam era.  He has many health

issues from the agent orange he was in during his time in that

country.  I hope your loved ones that were there during

that time have been far more blessed.

 

We are doing a BBQ this afternoon with our family.

 

Here's wishing you a wonderful day with food, family, friends,

and being thankful for your freedom!

 

May God Bless you!
