Kids Blankets
I do not have a picture yet but there will be one soon. I am a fool for crochet blankets for kids and babies. Now I am working on a polka dot one for my daughter. I am really impressed with myself since the idea came right out of my head. I am not the most creative so this is a big step for me. So I crocheted the dots seperately and was just going to add the background around it. Then I got the idea to make the blanket and attach the dots by sewing them on. I cannot wait till it is finished. I have a feeling it is going to be wonderful. Plus it is going to be kinda 3-D ish.

Snowflake Obsession
I started making crochet snowflakes 7 years ago. Well they didn't turn out very good. I was definitely an amature. Now I have had lots of pratice and quite a bit more experience. They turned out great this time. Since the snow started falling outside I could not stop the blizzard in my house. I think my husband was getting a little sick of seeing them all over the house drying from the starch. I have moved on to other projects but really impressed with myself for the speediness of this project plus how much fun it was to see the finished
product.

Pointsettia Tablecloth
I started this tablecloth on a whim. It took 2 years of picking it up and putting it down. I ran out of crochet thread and couldn't find the same stuff anywhere. I finally went to a craft store and they were able to order it. Whew finally done. It is 6 sided and kinda could be said as 6-pointed star or pointsettia. One of my finest and favorite works.
