First Halloween Swap!!

I got my first Halloween swap item in the mail yesterday!!!
I got this package from Denise from the Rocking Chair Crocheters Yahoo Group.
I can't post pictures of what I have made until my swap partners receive theirs.
Needless to say I am wearing purple today and my new ponytail holder.
Thanks Denise!!
You Made my day!!!

Lots to report...

Well we have officially scrapped the whole Operation you are NOT forgotten. I recieved an E-mail from the Vets home and they do NOT accept anything hand made. They would rather have cash donations. So we have shifted gears and are now going to help the Madonna house & Quanada in Quincy. They halp homeless, battered women with children and have a huge need for hats and scarves. She we are still collecting granny squares to make into hats and scarves. LOL So that is in full swing!! You can track our progress here: STITCHED WITH LOVE

I have officially made it through Mom & Dads Birthdays. That is over now I just have to get creative for their Anniversary the 1st of October. LOL

Still working on getting things figured out with Madison..... Poor thing.....

Other than that everything here is great!! Working on crocheting and sewing!! Yeppers that is right I am attempting to sew again!! I shopped in mom's garage and got a bunch of neat stuff and Peggy gave a bunch of really neato material!!!

OPERATION YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN

A few of you were wondering where I went since I hadn't posted lately.

I have started what I call OPERATION YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN

I am making LOTS of granny squares to make lap-ghans for Quincy's Veterans home. I have been stitching like crazy and am looking for all of the 6 inch granny squares that I can find. People have been awesome donating yarns for me to keep going. Tonight I teamed up with the group Free Stuff in Quincy to help with yarns and stitching. I am hoping to have a bunch of people to take yarn & hooks to so that they can stitch as well. I will be making a new blog to track our progress. I am so excited about this. I just want them to know that they are someone, they do matter, and how much I appreciate them. So, once this is all up and running I will get you all the link.

With all of that said if you have yarn or can make a few granny squares to donate, Drop me an E-mail and I will give you all the information

Latest accomplishment...

Last weekend was my mom's Birthday. So I worked like crazy on an afghan for her. And boy did she like it. I did this in a week. I bought the pattern HERE, however I did not do the curley Q's because I thought that they looked funny....LOL
