American Pride

I have been working on the American Flag afghan in between other projects.  This one is staying at our house.  I have always wanted to make a patriotic themed afghan.  You can't get much more patriotic than the flag.  God Bless America!!

Only 5 more stripes and 50 stars to go.

More Weddings

Another wedding present finished.  Lots of projects in the works.  

Vacation, Family and lots of fun.

We are back from vacation and what a wonderful time we had.  Spending time with the family is always a hoot.  We spent 4 days laughing and talking and laughing some more.  

When we returned home on Thursday we had to get ready for more family fun, when Mike's cousin and family stopped by on the way to the beach.  I decided a few months ago to make them their own afghan.  This afghan represents their two favorite NFL teams.  There is never a dull moment in their house during football season.

I had fun with this afghan and didn't follow any type of pattern.  I will write down the pattern and post it to my blog in the next few days or weeks.

Wedding present complete

What a week......

Busy at the office.  Getting ready for vacation,

and crocheting.  I finished the doily!!!!!

This was so much fun to make.  I love the colors and style.

I can't wait to get a beautiful cut glass bowl or vase to go with it.

Doily update

I have been working along on the doily for Morgan's wedding. There just isn't enough time in the day to crochet, read and work.  Which one should I give up?

Doilies and weddings

My best friend's daughter is getting married the end of September and I  decided to make her a doily to brighten up a table.  I grew up having these everywhere throughout our home.   

Doilies seem to have been lost by recent generations.  I hope they will be resurrected.

Here is a glimpse......

I wish I could use this as my RSVP.  See you in September!

Sporty Sweater

What a great weekend when one project is complete and another can be started.  I love this sweater.  It is considered a beginner pattern but I don't think it looks like one.
