My Peach and Teal squares

Folks,

  Heres my pics of the Peach and Teal squares we at www.HooksnGrannies.com  are making for Cheri who has been diagnosed with cancer. I think the afghan will be absolutely beautiful:) I had the hardest time getting yarn in Teal. I went everywhere I could here in Vegas to locate the yarn, but I did get some Blue Teal Ombre so I made flowers out of it. Thats the second image you see. I made the square up. I do hope its ok:) Im sending them off this week.

   I just thought you might like to see what Ive been working on:) 

What Im working on now:)

  Well here is my next scarf for Crochet with Dee's race to '60 scarves in 60 days' scarf race:) Fun huh? I hope your all making at least one this November and then donate it to a charity of your choosing. And dont forget to tell Dee at www.crochetwithdee.com so she can keep track.

  I ran out of this particular yarn color and need to go to JoAnns after church tomorrow. What an excuse that is :) I actually need yarn! I like it so much I might as well get a few skeins more. Excuses... excuses... wow what would I do without them:) lol

   Ill see you all later Have a blessed day and night:) Whoopie!!!!

update: I thought I would give you the pattern Im using to make this scarf. So you can try it out and see how easy it is to make a scarf. The pattern is :

ch 26 for the foundation then dc in second ch from the hook. Dc across you should have 25 Dc. turn ch2 and then do a Fpdc around post of dc on first dc on last row. Then dc on top of next dc.(Fpdc in next stitch then dc on top of next dc) across . You should finish with a dc on top of ch 2 of previous row. just repeat this till you get the desired length you want. Well I hope this makes since to you if not just email me and Ill try and explain it better:) You can tell Im not a designer.

  Oh yea I used Lion brand Homespun yarn with a K hook

TAAAA DAAAAAA

Folks,

  Here it is! Its finally gotten cold enough for me to have a nice cup of HOT tea. Ive been drinking cold tea all spring and summer long. I got up today and I was so cold or really chilled that I made my first cup of hot morning tea. Now to be honest I have had hot tea in the evening when I go out.

  Can you see the steam from the tea Im drinking? Its from a box of tea I bought when I visited Sturbridge, MA.They sell it at the Publick House in their bakery.( Boy I would love to have one of their pumpkin muffins to go with this tea!) Its called Harney&Sons  you can reach them at http://www.harney.com/ they make a variety of teas and items to go with tea. Im drinking their Cinnamon Spice tea. Its fantastic, smells and taste just like cinnamon. Its like having a stick of cinnamon in the tea! Try it if you like cinnamon.

  Well I just wanted to share with you my first cup of winter tea.

Boy Hero Doll

Here it is:) This is for my grandson Riley for Christmas. He wanted a Hero doll. So how do you like him? He was fun to make. I finished him in 3 days. I had to go to the store and buy felt for his chest emblem and his belt or he would have taken 2 days to make:) I sure hope he likes him!

  I just thought you would want to see him. I already showed you the grandaughters bed dolls in an earlier journal.

                       Have a very blessed day!

                                     

  Heres Dee with the scarf I made for '60 scarves in 60 days' campaigne. If you want to help just crochet or knit a beautiful scarf up. And donate them to your charity of choice.

  Im going to make a few more, you all have till the end of November. Just email Dee or visit her at her site at www.CrochetwithDee.com and let her know how many you have made. I think this will be alot of fun and very fullfilling.

Im working on some squares for an afghan for a young woman who has cancer. The colors are in Peach and Teal. I have had the worst time finding Teal. But I did locate some in Blue Teal Ombre and Im making flowers out of it. As soon as I make a few Ill take a pic and let you all see them.

  Have a very happy day!
