Flower Power

Since flowers are popping up everywhere in the garden, my mom and I have been making flower dishcloths and hot pads.  The pattern for the dishcloth is free at Michaels and is fun and easy!

I love my Christmas SWAP package!!

What a delightful surprise I had when I came home from a 6 hour drive last night.  It was my box from Dawn who was my SWAP partner.  I'm delighted with everything.  The potholder and dishcloth are just beautiful.  I love the vintage booklet and look forward to finding a project to work on.  The snowy yarn is so cute too. She included a German cookie recipe from her Great Grandma which I intend on making this holiday season.    She even included some coffee and a chocolate treat - just perfect for me - thank you so much Kathy Ann for organizing and thank you Dawn for your lovely work!

Patriotic Granny - Finished!!

Happy 4th of July!  The patriotic granny lap afghan is finished.  As you can see I did have to add some of my stash of red, white and blue but managed to use up all the variegated yarn.  It's a fun granny!!

Patriotic Granny

Hi Everyone,

This is my first contribution to this blog.  I am not as talented as you all are - but I love to learn.   I have challenged myself to use up this red, white and blue yarn before the 4th of July. I started this morning!  I am making one big granny square to be used as a lap afghan - let's see if I can get it done.
