Just a little further along


This doesn't show too much…I actually have a few more rows finished, but not photo. You can see how the tail of the ghost is starting to turn.


This is Ginger. She is the 2 1/2 year old Lab/Mastiff mix. She always looks worried until she starts jumping on her brothers or her sister, and her whole body wiggles back and forth with delight!


This morning we had a lovely sunrise…the clouds all had a pretty pink coloration.


This is going to my niece Jennifer. I did not make it. Donna from Donna's Crochet Shoppe made it. Her work is so beautiful.


I took a photo of one of my cosmos flowers that is now taller than I am at 5' 5".  The dog is, again, Ginger, the long legged wench!


I hope to have some better photos of the doily tomorrow. I need to take my car in for an oil change, but that is all. Seems I can only do one major thing a day, and not more than 3 a week! LOL! Old age!!

Starting a doily

 GHOST'S

Boo! is the name of the pattern….and it is super cute.  

We are doing an 'along' in my group on Ravelry.  "Any Ol' Little Thing Along" is the name, and it is so we can just choose what we want.  More or less getting ready for Christmas for some, donations to charities for others. Just a nice little place to chat and show off what we are doing.  I get most of my ideas from the other ladies in the group, as in this pattern.

My small beginnings….



I'm actually further along than this….am making it for my DSD as the whole family celebrates Halloween each year with a party for the families of their friends….kids and adults alike.

I may make another one for my niece in Boston if I have time. I think they celebrate Halloween, too.


Cute, right???

She has several patterns. This one is a free download, and I think the others might be, too…am not sure. Check her out, and come join us on the group along!

Finished and sent

 



Just a simple ripple stitch…it wasn't too tiring, and loved how it became a lovely gentle wave. 




I started looking at old afghans from swaps and the one below is one of my favorite. I gave it to my sister-in-law.  She crocheted, but did not make large projects.  Would not mind making one in these two colors for myself!



This one is my second favorite, and it also went to a sister-in-law. They decorated  their home in a western theme.


All the yarn is Vanna's Choice, except the baby afghan which is Bernat's Waverly which is now discontinued, unfortunately.
