Dreaming of Dragonflies ...

Is not each and every baby the sweetest, best, and most delightful little darling that ever did or ever will exist? ~Eliza Cook, "Prize Babies," 1854

So, I’m one of those people that can’t sit still for long periods of time. I HAVE to be doing something so I generally have a piece of crochet by my chair to fiddle with when watching a movie or TV with my husband.

For this post, I’m way behind as I made this afghan in 2019 for the baby girl of some dear friends of ours! It has been so long I can’t find the pattern I used to make it. I can tell you the design has dragonflies in it.

According to the Internet, The Dragonfly has been a symbol of happiness, new beginnings and change for many centuries. It means hope, change, and love. Which is what I want for this special kidlet.

Anyway, here is. If I locate the pattern and yarn information, I’ll update the post!

Close up - can you see the dragonflies?

Thanks for stopping by!

Afghan for my Mom

No language can express the power, and beauty, and heroism, and majesty of a mother’s love. It shrinks not where man cowers, and grows stronger where man faints, and over wastes of worldly fortunes sends the radiance of its quenchless fidelity like a star. ~Edwin Hubbell Chapin

Hello

I made this afghan for my mom quite some time and finally managed to get a picture of it!

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

This is a Christmas Present I made for the oldest daughter of close friends. Not the best pictures but I love this design and it works well with Varigated yarns.

HERE is the link to the pattern I used for inspiration

I do actually do other stuff besides card making and crochet is one of them!
This is a Christmas gift I made for the youngest daughter of very good friends. Her favorite color is red. Just like me! :O)

I found one on pintrist I like and was able to duplicate it .... kinda.

I thought I'd saved the picture and link but apparently I did not. If I find it I will credit where credit is due.

Scrap Blanket for Me

I do love to crochet ... it's my busy hand work while watching TV or traveling.
Helps me relax and settle.

Others are spread out to other people and I am working to get pictures of them and will post as I can.

I have other things I have made besides blankets and will also post them as I can get pictures of the

To start with is this afghan I made for me with pieces from seceral projects I' done over the years.
Not pretty but it's warm and had good memories

Thanks for looking!
