Another one of Dees hats

Friends,

  My sister Jerri wanted me to make her a hat made from cotton so here it is. How do you like it? I used my new 3GStudio size N hook to make it. It turned out very lacy and soft. I used Debbie Bliss Cotton/Cashmere yarn and it feels wonderful. I need to call her and let her know I have a new hat for her. She has lost her hair now. She did get a really cool wig but I know she will like this new hat. I used Dees pattern and it worked up great. You can find her pattern over at her site CrochetWithDee. She loves sharing this pattern. An you will really enjoy her site,she has really cool crochet blogging going on there.

Tribut to Pooh

Im very sadden tonight because I had to put my beloved Pooh down. For some reason starting this afternoon she started having small seizures the vet thinks she was having strokes. It started out with one around 11:00am then another one about 4 hours later. Then she started having them every few minutes. Till we decided we couldnt do anything for her and Shawn and Terry took her to the vets.

  Im going to miss her argueing with my bulldog Fefe and Im going to miss her crying at the door for bed time. She always went to bed with us at night.She was a great companion.

  I just wanted you all to meet a great animal. She is in heaven now for sure.

  Here she is my sister Jerri wearing the hat that Dee sent her. She just loved it. Thanks Dee for the lovely hat. It is so very soft as well. Jerri has yet to loose her hair but we all know its coming. If you would like to make some of these cool hats you can get the pattern over at CrochetWithDee site. Just roam around and enjoy here blog and you will locate the pattern. Dee has some wonderful items and blogs about her crochet there I know you will all love it.

  Im in the middle of making my daughter a surprise afghan.  So nobody go and tell her. Its a granny square pattern. It has variegated flowers for the first row then green around the flower and then white with another row of yellow. I saw the square on someones I cant recall site and I loved the look. I did change a few things to make mine a little different but it is so pretty. I hope she like it. Ill take a pic when Im done with it. After that Im going to start on a ripple afghan. Im waiting for the book 200 Ripple patterns. I sent off for it a few days ago it should be here soon.

  The weather here is getting a little strange. Right now its windy as all get out. The air conditioner guy is suppose to be here in the AM to fix my unit. I hope the weather gets better or he wont come in the wind. I think he is afraid he might fall off the roof.

  Well I should be sleeping its 1:30 in the morning now and Im still wide awake. I hope none of you are awake at this hour if so GO TO BED! heehee

At long last

Friends,

  Ive been away for quite awhile I know. But I have been busy with my sis' illness..She started chemo and she has only one treatment so far. She went yesterday and her white blood cells were to low to have her chemo treatment. If you pray could you please pray her white blood cells come back up so she can get treatment.

  Ok believe it or not I have been crocheting as well. My friend Karen asked me to make 2 baby afghans and some little outfits. I made the afghans no problemo and Ive made 2 dresses with matching panties and booties with of course caps to match. They are so cute. I have decided I love making baby items:)

  Now back to my sister Jerri. My teacher and my friend Dee over at  CrochetWithDee

makes these awesome caps for ladies that have chemo. She says they are the softest yarn you ever want to wear. So I mentioned to her that I was going to use the pattern she offers to all of us for personal or charity works. I went to my yarn room and pulled out what I thought was soft and that was Homespun in purple.( I would show you pics but I cant find the cable to download my pics from my camera) Well sweet Dee offered to send me a chemo cap for my sister Jerri to wear when she looses her hair.I recieved the cap in todays mail. Man o man is it soft. WOW I love the yarn. I cant wait till I see Jerri and give her the cap I know she will be thrilled to know that someone cared enough to send it to her. It is awesome THANKS Dee! Your a doll! Im taking pics but I need to locate my cable first before I can post them.

  Well Ill be back in a few days to post my update on my sis and let you all know how she liked the caps.
