New baby blanket

So I was cleaning out my hope chest over the weekend and came across a bearghan that I had started ages ago and never finished. I didn't finish it because when I put the head on, it looked very much like a pig, not a bear.
So yesterday, I took it apart, threw the head out....LOL and put the remaining squares together this way and put an edge on it.

Another view....same blanket.

Rest in Peace

Our beloved Sassy passed away tonight. We will miss her terribly. I love you Sassafrass.

Children's hats.

This is a preemie blanket I made from lots of little squares. I made a hat from each colour since I have no idea whether this will go to a little girl or a little boy.

Preemie blanket with matching hat.

The Matching hat.

This was in a bag of yarn that my friend Tina gave to me. I think it would be a nice shawl.

This is a blanket made with fleece squares that I Edgerydoo'd.


These items will be handed in to Casting off the Cold tomorrow at the monthly Markham meeting. I have missed the past few so these are items that I have made over the past few months.

New addition to the family!

This is Bear. He is 9 weeks old now and is part German Shepherd, part Rottweiler.
He is a little bugger but he is cute when he is sleeping....LOL



We also have a friend of Kainnon's staying with us for a while. Stephanie is like the daughter I never had. She is also a great help around the house. So as you can see I have my hands full at home and don't have a lot of free time. I am managing to get some crochet done but not as much as I usually do.

I've been a bad blogger...LOL

Actually my camera died so I've been waiting to have someone else post pics for me so I could steal them and put them on my blog...LOL. I just now have time to put them up for you. Thank you Sally.

Here are some preemie blankets and hats. The blankets are fleece and I edged them with my Edgerydoo.

And a whole bunch of hats.

Squares for April!!!

Casting off the Cold is making 6" squares for the whole month of April. I will be posting how many squares I have made each day for the whole month.
I think I am going to just keep editing this post so I don't have a post for every day....cause that would be just too much...LOL
I have decided that in order to keep my sanity I cannot only do squares for a whole month. So I will post what I have made (including squares)
So far...
April 1 - 5 squares and 1 baby blanket
April 2 - 2 squares
April 3 - 4 squares
April 4 - 7 squares , 1 baby hat and 1 adult hat
April 5 - 5 squares , 1 baby hat and 5 preemie hats
April 6 - no squares, but 1 preemie hat and matching jacket
April 7 - 2 squares, 1 preemie hat and I started a basketweave preemie blanket

RUNNING TOTAL = 25 squares
