Flag Ghan


This was a group project on which six of us who belong to www.crochetville.org collaberated. It's made from 2 1/2 inch granny squares we call "saltines" which were sewn together into this representation of an antique American flag. It measures approximately 59 by 38 inches.
Its final home will be with a family who lost a soldier in Afghanistan this past year, along with our heartfelt sympathy and gratitude for him and the many,many others who have so unselfishly given their all.

Sparkie Running in Our Yard

Sparkie is 4 1/2 and LOVES to chase his squeaky ball at the end of the day.

Small Cotton Baby Blankie


I made this using cotton tots yarn and thought it would be the perfect size to cover a baby in a car seat or to use as a quick blankie when the baby needs to be changed...
