Purple Passion Teddy Bear

It looks like someone got into their

Basket early!

Nothing says Easter better

then purple...well maybe

 Peeps, Jelly Beans and of

course Chocolate...even the

Teddy Bear has beautiful

purple eyes, and they're from

 Suncatcher Eyes!

 

 I always loved putting together my kids Easter Baskets

then you can personalize them...making each basket special

The Teddy Bear is made with the same pattern

as the little red one...It's by Teri Crews

Just used a bigger hook and two strands of yarn...

Princess Shari and her Castle Blanket©

I just finished my latest project...

and here she is

"Princess Shari©"

inspired by all the little

princesses in my life!

I created these patterns for the blanket

and the Princess Shari© Doll

and will soon have it available for purchase.

Little girls love to play

Princess and with

this little cover up and doll...

they can play with her anywhere...

perfect to take to church or in the car!

I made the trim of the

blanket to resemble a

Waiting for the Easter Bunny

Here's my new

Red Teddy

 

This little girl's waiting for the

Easter Bunny with her
matching basket!

When my girls were little they each

had a favorite toy that they slept with

every night...my oldest had a red bear...my youngest had a white bunny...

I couldn't help but think of them when

I was making these two cuties!

I miss tucking them into bed with their

bed time pals!!

 These two patterns are from Teri Crews

The Red Teddy and Easter Bunny are now Available at My Shop on Etsy!

Happy St. Patty's Day

I came out of the grocery store

the other day...and there was this

pretty rainbow and I just happened

to have my camera with me...

that never happens...
isn't it pretty!

It's time to go green!

This little hat was super easy

to make...and kids love

to wear hats...when you crochet

in the round and you have the

top part of the hat the size you want it,

then all you do is crochet in the back

loops and that makes the sides...it's

kind of like making a big coaster...

it's made in exactly the same way...

to make the brim you have to

double up your stitches, I had to play

around with it to get it to lay flat

the way I wanted.

I had nothing for St. Patrick's Day

so I made these little jar toppers

and filled them with Andes' Mints

I made the big hat and this
matching little hat jar topper!

Happy St Patricks Day!!

Poem:The Forgotten Woman©

I use to take Communion to the elderly a few years back

and there was one little woman, who tugged at my heart...in fact it was really hard to visit her
because she was so sad...time after time she

would tell me that her daughter was coming and going to take her out of this nursing home...but truth was her daughter was the one who put her in the home...I'm not saying right or wrong...sometimes in life we have to make tough choices...but sometimes we forget that even the

little things in life can mean so much

to the one's who love us...I didn't know that kind of loneliness or ever experience it at this level...she felt so alone...she's gone now but not really forgotten...especially by the one's who called her

Mom!
