my own made up pattern in Tunisian crochet





Hello Y'all. Today I wasn't feeling well at all. I slept alot, but managed to make my son Travis a beanie. It came out kind of big, but I like it. I just did single crochet for the most.










Jimmie Johnson didn't do well in the race, but he is still in the points lead. I have faith in him. 2 races to go. Phoenix and Homestead.










Haven't found a place to move yet, but will start packing things for the move in the meantime. Wish us luck in finding a place soon.

hello. Well I finally gave up on the phone sending to my email and just hooked the phone up to the puter and synced it. Here are some things I promised in the last post. And some of Travis in his hippie costume. I made him a new ipod case last night. He already is using it.

Hey y'all. I have been without internet for a week or so. I have been doing some crocheting though. Let me first say that I did a second shawl with one strand of Lion Brand Wool-Ease in Dark Rose Hether. I added a little more of the pattern to make the shawl longer and trimmed it with the wine color for contrast. I liked this one better, so that is the one that I sent to Yolie for my exchange. I haven't heard whether she got it or not yet. I hope so. I also made a pretty flower and did a leaf on it out of some scraps of cotton. Trying to upload the pics from my phone now so I can post them as well. My phone isn't co-operating, so I will have to post the pictures of the shawl and flower a little later.

I also have been working on a baby blanket and finished it in two days. The pattern can be found here, but I enlarged it by just adding more rounds to the pattern. http://www.angelfire.com/va3/heartfeltangels/littlestarafghan.html

I finished my very first Shawl.




Hey Everyone. I am happy today. Jimmie Johnson won the race and I finished my first shawl. It is from the Lion Brand site. I used Herreschner's sport weight yarn, so I did it with two strands, It is really thick. I used wine color. It is actually for an exchange that I am doing on one of the many groups I am on. I don't want to say who for in case the recipient reads my blog. Let me know what you think.

What I am doing now.


Hello. I just thought I would pop in and let you all know what I am up to. I am 2/3 rds of the way done with a Half Moon Shawl from Lionbrands Website. I am using double strands of Herreschner's yarn in a beautiful wine color. I will post a picture when it is done.


This is for an exchange that I am participating in on one of my yahoo groups. I love doing exchanges, that way I get to see all the work of others. And I also get to make some of my originals. LOL
Oh, Jimmie Johnson has the pole again this weekend, as the qualifying has been rained out again. They are in Martinsville, and last year he won this race and I have an autographed hat that I got from his foundation from this race. He is in the points lead and on his way to his third championship in a row hopefully. Go Jimmie!


Have a great weekend.
