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!

A Few Christmas blankets

here are a few of the preemie blankets I have done so far for the preemies. I am working fast as I can to get at 30 done by myself to make sure we have enough for all our babies :-)I have almost 20 completed!

WARNING #40 ILTY

This is a warning for everyone who is using the # 40 I Love This yarn from Hobby Lobby. IT BLEEDS!!!!!!!!! Even when washing in cold water it will turn your red and white blankets,hats and booties to red and pink! Hobby Lobby has been made aware of this problem for over a year and it still has NOT been corrected! One of the ladies in my group emailed them last year and they told her it should only happen once! well once is too many as thats all it takes to ruin all your hard work. I wrote them last week and have yet to hear anything back from them So if I were you I would NOT use the # 40 red. I have switched to red heart super saver in the cherry red. At least it does not bleed :-)Sorry to be so negative about such a wonderful product but I know alot of you are making Christmas items for the babies and wanted you to be aware of the problem.

busy, busy

I am working hard as I can on Santa hats and preemie blankets. Here is 1 pic of some of the hats. I have not taken time to take pics of the blankets yet but hopefully soon. I am also getting ready to start stuffing some of the stockings as we go along here. today I rearranged some of my yarn and even though AC Moore is having a great sale starting tomorrow lets just say I DO NOT need anymore yarn. I need yarn aholics is what I need. I can't believe how much I have, its insane!!!!!! I need to stop and use up some of what I have. I keep telling myself that and then a sale comes along and there I go and come back with another bag full!!!!! lol.
