Happy Thanksgiving!

Nature Window Pine

Look what my mom did for me while I was getting my last Chemo treatment. Now my birdies have a bit of "tree" around the tray I keep to hold the knocked out seed. Thanks mom I am sure they will love it

DVT

Due to a condition that I have right now, (see my cancer blog) I can't really do any crafting/cooking. So I am going to suspend this blog for a short while. I will however, be posting on "The Dragon" on a fairly regular basis. Please keep up with me there.

I should be back to doing creative things within two weeks as the swelling leaves my hand. I have a quilt that I am ready to get started on, so I am chomping at the bit...

Thank you for following!

My Humps MY Humps...LOL!

No I'm not singing again, I'm crocheting. For the Linus blanket I am working on right now I wanted a shell pattern that would lie flat, not be all ruffly. So while My mother-in-law and I sat waiting for my treatment to be over she helped me work this pattern out.

R1- SC, C, SC, C REPEAT
Slip into beginning stitch to join.

R2- Chain 1, (Skip to second chain space, DC 7 around chain space, skip to second chain space, slip stitch) Repeat

I am using Lion Brand "Home Spun" yarn. its soft and silky and the 7dc, make a nice "finger rub" spot this should make a great project linus blanket as soon as I get it all edged.
