DIVINE HAT

Cancer is a word that just about everyone dreads.

Many people's lives have been affected by cancer.

I have a friend who is battling cancer again.

When I heard her cancer came back,  I was very sad for her.

She is a fighter and she's fighting this again.

She shared that she has shaven her hair off

because it was already coming off.

That's when I decided to make her a hat.

So off I went to make her a hat.

This hat is very easy to make.

I found the pattern on Ravelry.

I added extra rounds to make it a bit longer

than what the pattern called for.

Now off to mail this and keep praying for my friend.

MEMORY QUILT

I have made many quilts for family and friends.

I have also made many baby quilts.

I have always loved making quilts

for people because it is one of

the ways that I can show them 

how much  they mean to me.

A couple of months ago,

a dear couple that I've known for a long time,

asked me if I  could make a special quilt for them.

This was one of the hardest projects that

I have ever done for anyone.

You see, the reason that this quilt was so hard for me to make,

is that this wonderful and lovely couple

lost their baby while she was five months pregnant.

Both my husband and I know how hard that is

because we went through that several times.

The father sent me a picture of what the nursery

was supposed to look when they would have brought

their son home from the hospital.

This was one quilt that I was determined

to make exactly how they wanted.

It took me many weeks trying to find

the zig zag fabric to match from the picture he sent me.

I am so glad that I got it done exactly how they wanted.

Now I just need to quilt it and put it in the mail.

This couple is very dear to me

and I hope that this is a blessing to them.

SCRAPPY YARN

I'm a quilter, and when making quilts,  I have leftover fabric.

I can't bring myself to throwing away the fabric.

I am always coming up with ideas of what 

I can make with the leftover fabric.

Well,I have the same situation with my yarn.

I can't bring myself  to getting rid of the yarn

once I am done with a project.

I  came up with an idea and I'm liking the way it's turning out.

I am  crocheting granny squares using

the leftover yarn from previous projects.

I am going to make 120 granny squares

and join them with black yarn.

My goal is to get this done before Christmas

and give it as a present to a friend.

Making a granny square is a very easy

crochet pattern to make.

There are many YouTube videos

that can teach you how to do one.

My favorite YouTube Channel is Crochet Crowd.

Granny Square

 What I did yesterday after we got home from church.

I was watching football and crocheting.

One of the bags filled with yarn that I'm going to use.

It's definitely going to be a scrappy yarn blanket.

I can't wait to see how it's going to look when I'm done.

I SO LOVE YARN!!!!!!

I so love to play with yarn!

I so love to play with fabric too!

I'm a member of a group on  Facebook that loves to crochet.

One of the members posted a picture of a scarf

they have been working on.

I absolutely fell in love with it

and I knew that I had to make one.

I found the tutorial on YouTube.

I have learned that I'm a visual learner

so I need to see it being done so that I don't  make mistakes.

I'm  so happy YouTube exists.

I found the pattern under Crochet Crowd.

Corner to Corner Scarf

Once I finished the scarf, I decided to make a hat.

I made the Messie Bun Beanie.

I found the pattern on Ravelry.

It's a very easy pattern to make.

I made this bun in about three hours.

Enjoy and have fun making these items.
