Catching Up!

Here are pics of some work from within the past year (aka, busy puppyhood time with Miss Lucy). Sorry about no labels, etc, but most are baby ghans, with the exception of the dish drying pad in varigated purple cotton.

A baby graph ghan

I've hit a wall in my crocheting...but did produce this baby gift for a sweet neighbor who is expecting their second child...a girl, as you might be able to tell from the pattern I used ;)

backlog of work...

Been busy with our German shepherd puppy, Miss Lucy, so haven't spent much time posting since she came home in March!
Once I find where I saved some of those pictures from March through June I'll be back ;)

Tapestry Bag

I've had this pattern booklet for seasonal bags for years and finally made one! It was easy and I love the bright colors.
Herrschner's catalogue sells the pattern.

Stashbuster Tote

I whipped up this tote - without pushing it - in a day and a half. The pattern was so easy to follow!
This is the site where I found it...and many more wonderful patterns!

More Baby Ghans

With these blankets I made the border for the striped one and bordered the squares and assembled the other one. My sweet friend Jean C. did most of the work on both, by making the bodies of the blankets and then asked if I would finish them for her. That's a no-brainer for me. I find things like that to be very relaxing and I love playing without a pattern. The striped blanket is approximatley 24 inches square and the blue and white one is 21 by 24 inches.
They'll both be going to the Cornell NICU.

Baby Ghan

This was made at the request of my friend Mary. She and her husband are going to be grandparents for the first time. A little girl...so lilac just had to be part of what is a very neutral baby blanket ;>)
The pattern is called a Baby 9 Patch, and I made the squares 4 inches instead of the 2 1/4 which is what the original pattern on

calls for. The blanket is 35 inches square.
