Best Friend "Nurse Laura"


Nurse Laura is my husband's best friend at Mass General in Boston. What can you say about these dedicated nurses that attend to your needs and is always there for you. Thanks Laura for being there for us. God luv ya!

Afternoon Aghan


This afghan was made for my Grandson, Chad Vanstraten.
I made this afghan using Lion Brand Homespun, Autumn Afternoon Afghan pattern. For the yarn, I used Caron's Simply Soft in dark and light country blue.

Shimmering Lacy Vest made for the larger Woman in Mind



I made this vest using Annie's Favorite Crochet pattern, April 2005 issue for my niece, of course the size in the pattern. Then I thought why can't I make one for me also by just increasing the pattern. As you can see, I think it turned out beautifully only this one is longer than the original.


Lacy Doily


Isn't this pretty! I recently purchased a computer cabinet so that I could start using my kitchen table as a table again. After setting up the computer cabinet I needed something to put in the middle of the table. I made this from Annie's Favorite Crochet, April 2005 issue, and using Royale #10 thread.

Warren won a $50 gift certificate on the Blue Diner's restaurant in Melrose and a bottle of Blackberry Brandy. I ran around selling raffle tickets. Fun had by all!

Child's Sweater Freeform


This sweater was made by using bits and pieces of scrap yarn. I just started crocheting and the pattern developed.

Baby Blanket and Hat


I made this car seat blanket and hat for the maintenance man's new baby "Kevin". I used Sugar and Cream yarn.

Hat's for Charity


How do you like my collection of hats? I make these hats while riding on the subway to work. Last year, I donated almost 50 to Mass. General Hospital, Cancer center for their hat tree. They are very warm and hopefully, keep heads warm. I have 35 already finished for this year's tree.

Tracie's Wedding Barbie


This Barbie I crocheted for a little girl named Tracie Crugnale on her 7th birthday. She hasn't seen it yet..I hope she likes it. I modified the pattern found in Annie's Favorite Crochet, June, 2005 issue, titled Garden Party.

Alyiah's Barbie


I crocheted this Barbie and her clothes for our "great-granddaughter, Alyiah, on her 5th Birthday.

The "Shrug" Ladies
