Martha Stewart Day

Folks,

  I watched Martha Stewart on tv today. She had Lily Chin on making a poncho for her French Bulldog. It was a great show dedicated to the crocheted poncho she recieved from an inmate in the same prison she was in. I loved all the ladies wearing their ponchos. I loved even the men wearing them too. I just wished there was more on the technique of crochet being showed. But hopefully that will be another show topic. Write to Martha and let her know we want a show on Crocheting at WWW.MarthaStewart.com  Im sure she would love to hear from us all:)

 You can purchase her poncho at her site and the proceeds are to be going to the Katrina Relief fund. Heres hoping they sell well:) Or you could make your own they have a free pattern on www.LionBrand.com . 

  Well Im still working on my christmas stockings for the troops I have maybe 5 more to make. I might be able to get that done tonight. Happy hooking!

The Chronicles of Narnia

Folks, Im in the process of reading this great book. Its called the Chronicles of Narnia. Ive gotten through alittle over half the books. They are facinating. If you want to read a classic try reading this one. Their making one of the books called The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe into a movie. Its due out in December. I read these books when I was in my 20s and I thought I would read them agian to refresh my memory. Im really happy that I did. I even went out and bought the books for my granddaughter Alex( she is 12) so far she has not finished the book. I hope she finishes it before she sees the movie. Oh well just wanted to share what Ive been reading. Have a great day!

Christmas stockings

Heres my Christmas Stockings Ive been making for the troops that we at WWW.HooksnGrannies.com adopted this year. I got the pattern from "O" is for Original Patterns and its a great pattern. Ive mixed the colors and and changed the pattern somewhat for a variety. Ive had a lot of fun with it. I changed it by using Red Heart WW yarn and a size H hook. Making the design measure out to 6 1/2 inches high by 3 inches wide. I hope you try them they are great to make:) Have a blessed day!

Baby doll hats

  I just thought you might like to see my hats on my reborn doll.. I got the doll from Rhonda the list mom over at HooksnGrannies. She did a wonderful job dont you think?

  I hope this will inspire you all to pick up your hooks and get to making caps for the babies of Katrina.

Baby hats for Lackland AFB

Ive been real busy making caps for the babies at Lackland AFB. These are just a few that Ive been making for the babies. They were quite easy to make if you want a pattern I could write one up. But all I did was a basic round pattern then addes a decorative bady and then a edging. They work up really quick.

  Ive been busy with WWW.HooksnGrannies.com and having a very great time. We have been collecting and making items for the Katrina victims. If any of you are interested in joining us just go over to the site and ask for an invitation. We love new members.

Katrina Mess

These are just some of the items bought by HooksNGrannies

Folks,

  I know you are just as I am very sadden about the events in the south this past week, Ive been so upset I just had no idea what or how to help the folks there. I did send as much money as I could afford to send and we are making baby items for Lackland Army Hospital through www.HooksnGrannies.com go check out the site if you want to see what all we are doing,

  Im asking God to direct me in any way I can help from were I live. I know you are all in the same place that I am in. I pray for relief for those in need as soon as possible,

  I think our goverment was taken aback just as the people in New Orleans and other places that were hit hard was. I dont think anyone thought this could have happened but alass it did. Now we have to stop attacking each other and start helping each other through all of this. Lets pray for God to bless us and those that need Him now.
