Sadie Blake

 Sadie Blake is looking out at my pretty periwinkle.  She is a doll my Mom made me.  I was married with children but have always loved dolls.  This one is very special to me mainly because Mom made it.  Sade Blake loves looking out the window at flowers and things.  I gave all my other dolls away to my niece when I was about 15 or 16 thinking I was done with them.  Learn from me.  Don't give any of your treasures away until you are much older.  I think you will find you don't want to give it away at all.  I just thank God I have Sadie Blake.  Isn't she sweet?  Mom did a wonderful job.

This is my pretty periwinkle.  The blue flower that is.
 I know what you are going to say.....What is up with the white rose.  Ok, Ok, you caught me.  It's fake.  I just couldn't throw it away and I thought it look good in this pot.  So just enjoy.  Talk more later.  Tootles

January Warmth

A good morning to you and yours.  We are having nice weather for this time of the of the year and I for one am enjoying it very much.
Hope you are enjoying yours.

Kitty, Kitty

 The kitty on the left is one of the animals I made for Christmas.  It's called an amneko cat.  I had never heard of it before.  I searched for animal patterns in crochet and this came up from a blog.  I thought it was so cute so made it.  I went to the site for instructions on how to put it together and they were all in Japanese, help!  Thank goodness for the pictures.  I did get it together (obviously) but feel I missed some important details by not being able to read it. 
Next to kitty is one of my kitty's, Elviria.  She is curled up like a black ball and as you can see she is in my crochet basket fast asleep.  She also tries to curl

up on my lap when I am trying to crochet, most of the time she is able to do that as I can still work.  Then there are the times she is not having it and keeps turning in circles to get me to put the crochet down and give her the attention. 

Happy Holidays Everyone !  Now our new year begins and I am so excited for it.  Tootles
