Crochet day


There was a beautiful breeze all day today, and the temperature was right around 80° for most of the day. It was the perfect day to sit and crochet on the front porch, so that's what I did! I made good progress on my grandson's granny square afghan. This will be his Christmas present. When I finish this, I'll have three Christmas presents done!


I am thrilled with my newest shuttles from Grizzly Mountain Arts! Dave made this shuttle and Jo painted it. It's as smooth as silk and wonderful to hold.


Not too long ago, Dave had a thistle shuttle listed. I missed out on it, but I was lucky enough to get this one. I love the way one leaf is folded down!

I would be thrilled to meet this talented couple, but that's not likely. I guess I'll just have to be happy with collecting their wonderful works of art!

Oh, happy day!


I've received wonderful, inspirational mail yesterday and today! Clockwise, starting at the top... beautiful hand-dyed thread from Pamela Myers and a post card of her university; from Dave and Jo Stanbrough at Grizzly Mountain Arts a beautiful little button basket, necklace, and celluloid tatting shuttle (which I have been longing for... blue is my favorite color); a lovely ceramic shuttle from Sherry Pence aka LadyShuttleMaker (I can see that this one will hold tons of thread); and lusciously bright colors from Marilee Rockley aka Yarnplayer. I think it's time to stop spending and start tatting!
