A New Year

sorry I have not posted for a couple of weeks but had to get thru the holidays and dealing with my dad and his health has and is very stressful. I am worried sick about him. Men are so stubborn!!!

anyway on the crochet front I have still been crocheting alot. I have a whole tote full of things I have made, just have not taken the time to take the pics. I promise to try and take some in the next few days and post them :-)

I raised my goal to 550 items for 2010. I have found it really depends on what you make as to how high your count will go. for example, newborn blankets take me a day and half to make but if I make dresses, hats or booties my totals will go much higher. I set my goal for my own purpose, thats it. I like to keep track of what I make for charity. Some think it is silly to keep totals. thats fine also. I have always kept up with how many items I make for charity since I started 10 years ago. I hope I make my new goal but hey if I don't so be it. lol

more dresses

here are a few more of the dresses I have made. guess I am stuck on them lol. I have also made some newborn blankets and a couple of diaper shirt sets. hope to get pics soon.

I have been enjoying making these little dresses. I have made several for Easter already. :-) the pattern is here http://crotiques.com/bgs.htm

a difference a week makes

all the baby items have been shipped out for the holidays, living room is all cleaned up and we put up the tree yesterday. Love seeing it all cleaned up. :-)

busy, busy!!!!!!!!!

sorry I do not have any pics to post but I am snowed under with Christmas items for the babies as my group is wrapping up the donations this week. I am crocheting very little right now. I have made a couple little dresses and 2 newborn blankets. I hope to have everything here ready to ship out Next Friday!! here is a pic of what my living room looks like. it is so full the rest is in my family room and on my kitchen table! lol. I will be taking 6 weeks off from receiving donations so I can enjoy the holidays with my family. I will be working on items during that time as most of you know we can't just stop crocheting lol.

last few Christmas blankets

this is the final 5 preemie blankets I finished., this brings my total to 30 preemie blankets and hats. It sure was fun making all of these but I am ready to move onto a different color lol. I still have a few skeins of Christmas yarn so I may make a couple more.

Christmas dress

I took a break from all the preemie blankets to make this little dress. the button is Christmas bells :-) now back to blankets. I have 5 more to go to hit my 30 sets! yipee, almost there!
