Heritage or a Shameless Plug for my Blog

 So I came up with this plan to get some traffic for my blog...
  I made this personalized doily for one of my family members. If you leave a comment on here I will put your name in the hat, so to speak, and draw one out.
  Yep, just giving it away.
   You can either frame it and hang it, or you can lay it out as a doily on the table or maybe stitch it across a pillow.
   So here goes!
Drawing will be July 12th
Love and Blessings to all ~S~

More Baby Booties

    I just finished another pair of baby booties, made with the crocodile stitch pattern. This pair is made with a blue bottom (sole) and a white top. I don't think that I will make another pair using this yarn though. It was much to easy to split and knot up. I am pleased with the way they look though.
    While the yarn was a challenge with the booties, it was much easier to work with making a floppy hat for a baby.
    So I guess, in the end, I will use the yarn again. Just not for the baby booties. :)

Little Bear


  I made the cutest little bear this week out of bedspread crochet thread. I used a size 6  needle and followed the pattern for the larger bear. I made a blue bear first for a baby shower and then an eggshell colored one for a friend. Encouraged by the ease of the pattern, I decided to try it with the bedspread crochet thread.
   It was a little harder than I had anticipated. Mostly because of the size of the limbs, when I came to that part, I kept catching what I had already crocheted with the hook of the needle.
   Overall though I'm pretty pleased with my little bear.
What  do you think of him?
Here's where I got the pattern for this sweet little bear. Winter White Bear

He's only 6 1/2" tall

Christening Set

    Hurrah! The Christening set that I've been crocheting is finally complete and I have taken pictures.
    Well, actually the set was finished a couple of weeks ago. It just took me a little while to get the pictures taken.
     I promised to share it, so here it is. :)



It is the Open Crescent  pattern from Leisure Arts leaflet 2568.
