Friends, Ive been away too long I know. Ive been busy with my sister Jerri's affairs and getting on with my life. I have some exciting news to tell you all. Ive started up my own crochet group(ministry)at church its open to the outside public. Im calling it Needlecrafters, what do you think? I had my first sitting in the ministries table at church. Im thinking of putting an ad in the newspaper and I think that will generate peoples interest. I had one person sign up and I will have to teach her to crochet:) Oh fun! for sure! heehee I love it.
I have 4 outreaches Senior, Womans, Homeless, and Babies. I have a bunch of patterns so we can get a great start. I hope to meet lots of peoples:) yea! I just recieved the new crochet book Kids Crochet by Kelli Ronci. I hope to used this book to teach crochet. Im really going to stress reading patterns as well.
I posted a pic of my efforts with crocheting scarves for you ( I know Ive posted this pic before but my camera is not working as of now!) I put out the afghan I made for my daughter and some of the chemo caps Ive made for woman. I want to make some booties and some totes to add to the showing.
Yesterday my family had a memorial for my sister Jerri its been a month since she passed. We went to the park and let balloons out and they formed a J in the sky! It was so cool. Then we proceeded over to my sister Carris house were my brother n law said a few words and a really nice little sermon about Jerri. It was very touching. Afterwards I went to dinner with my friends Carol, Diane and their daughters it was very nice I even brought Jerri along( I had a small urn with Jerri) I know it doesnt sound nice maybe to some of you but I know Jerri would have done the same with me and I would have got a kick out of it. Ok Ill be back later for more chatting

LOL about taking your sister out with you. I don't mean that to be mean, but I admire you for doing that. So, it may be a little on the crazy side. Who cares? Jerri was probably looking down on you and having a good laugh herself.
I think your church group sounds wonderful and congratulations on it's start!!!! I also think a newspaper ad would be great - in fact, some newspaper have an "events" column for stuff happening in the community. You might want to contact them and see if they will list your next meeting. Let us know how it goes!
Love and hugs,
Sheila
PS My parents had their photos put on their headstone and want me to photograph them standing with the stone. What do you think of that idea?
I also think it's great you're starting a new crochet group!
In addition to what Sheila suggested, see if you can leave a notice on your local library, post office, and church bulletin boards.
Don't forget to also announce it to all the online groups you participate in! :)
Keep us posted on your new group!
