Riding out the storms this week.

We always get the leftovers from tornado alley, but they have been tame by the time they get to us here in Memphis.

Here are some of the afghans I finished this past year. I really am into trying new patterns and color mixtures.

This green and brown one is actually from a kit, my first kit. I wanted this pattern so bad. Couldn't find it anyhwhere, until after I bought it. Go figure. It was fun to make and very nice having all the thread figured out for me. I looked on the Hershnners site and they don't have it anymore. Well it was a year and a half ago that I bought it.

 

 

Liked it so much I made another; called this one my sock monkey afghan. This was made from thread I had bought to make sock monkey hats...long story, starts with pancake craving at IHOP. I am rambling.

 

 

I used Patons Classic Wool. This was so luxurious to work with. Pretty sure I got it on sale.

 

Will post more another time.

 

 

It has been a while...I think I have said that before

I am one of those people that if I can't do it perfect I would rather not start at all, hence, blog with no words. I am going to make it my therapy to write something once a week...baby steps. I love to put my thoughts down  and I will.

I had been so busy working out of the home that I always had an excuse. Now I have been unemployed and I am going to try to work more on my crochet to make my money. Boy, it is hard, but I have never been afraid of hard work.

I am currently working on getting my books on Kindle and as eBooks. A lot of my programing background comes in handy. Almost there.

I have been crocheting afghans.  I think when my Mother passed I spent most of my time at the hospital needing something to do and crocheting was my first go to and an afghan was easy to carry around. After she passed I just kept going. It was my therapy. Moving on.

My sister Liz and I have put some crocheting on Etsy, My Etsy Store  and I will be redoing my website to include some as well. I want to do so much, but I have to focus on things that will make money for now.  Check back soon.
