i love to use plastic crochet hooks.

so i ordered them for myself for my birthday next monday.

ok how terrible am i? at least i will get something i can use!!

my crochet blanket is HUGE. I have another dozen flowers done

and am ready to crochet them on too. it sure is pretty.

looks like a bed full of peony blossoms to me.

has anyone used these hooks? did you like them? are they nice and smooth??

i think they look like peony flowers.

Time for Crochet !!

I am working on some octagon shapes to stitch together for a blanket. These have a light cream background. They are made out of Red Heart Acrylic. I love to use it for projects. The shapes are about as large as a plate. I am doing my borders in cream. Pattern is available HERE FREE

The End Of A Lifetime

Queenie has been a member of this family for 17 years. Today Harold and I had to take her to the vet for the final time. I can't think of not having her here. Not hearing her bark. Not opening that late night can of dog food. She was Harold's dog. We were together to the end.
