Various Projects and Christmas Pictures

Hi All! I have been unable to blog for a long time, due to my beloved, Warren's passing away on November 1, 2007. I am trying to cope with the loneliness by crocheting and kniting. These are just some of the projects that I have finished during the long hospital visits and the last two months. Also included, are Christmas pictures as I went to California to be with my family.

I made the sweater for my friend, Kathy. Made it out of Caron Simplysoft charcoal without a pattern, did it all by freehand. I am proud that it fit her so beautifully.

The wavy scarf is a pattern that my friend, Patience sent to me during my difficult time trying to keep my mind busy. The yarn is from Lucy's shop in Cambridge.

Buddy and Joey are my new dog friends that belong to my brother's family. That's my beautiful niece holding Joey. The house is Chuck and Donna's in Porter Ranch, CA. The tree was 9 ft. tall and Donna spends oodles of time decorating the house. She loves Christmas.

The sombrero woman is, of course, Mom on her birthday. I was glad that I was there to help her celebrate her 78th day. The other pictures are of our friend, Terry Johnson, whom we visited in Highland, CA and had lunch at the San Manuel Casino. That's Terry with her winnings.
