One of the members here on the forum sent me a beautiful present that she made for me!

She crocheted me a beautiful pillow cover featuring a lighthouse! I totally love it since I collect lighthouses!

Thanks Darlene! Its awesome!

Well you do a great job im not good at sewing or knitting or anything like that but you do a great job. I do latchhook rungs which havnet had time to do in years. But my thing is dolphins thats my favorite thing and hope at sometime to get a latchhook rug of one. I try to at least read 10 min a day takes longer to read a book but I get to do that at least with 4 kids I never have time for a lot these days.

Well a needle and thread is a no go with me. I have no patience with sewing. With knitting or crocheting I have seen me rip out almost a whole afghan if I see a mistake. It bugs me and I have to go back and fix it. I have all the patience in the world with that kind of thing.
It would be difficult with 4 kids to try and sit to work on a latch rug or something. I have done those too and they are fun.
Once the kids get older you will have more time for those things.

The only thing I can sew is a button that fell off or a hole thats small thats about it. I never had the patience to learn to knit my mom tried to teach me but couldnt learn . Well keep up your crafts you could make a lot and sell t hem at a craft fair or on line.

I learned how to knit when I was about 10 and never could learn crochet until after I was married. My sister in law tried all day to teach me and it just wasn't clicking with me. I took the yarn, book and hook home with me and sat by myself and went over the next day with a granny square done. She asked me who made it for me.

She didn't think I did it.
I guess I just had to sit on my own and concentrate. I have been crocheting since then and its over 31 years now. I love it.
I do sell a lot of my work right here at home and have sold some of my afghans online too. I will be doing this for a long time yet I hope. Thanks.

Thats great you were able to s ho w yourself how to do that and its great that your able to sell your stuff a little extra cash coming in doesnt hurt any keep up all the good work spring is coming and tons of craft fairs will be around could make some nice cash. Have a good one

DeeDee · 03-14-2008, 08:53 PM

Well as for going to craft fairs, I don't have time yet to get enough made to attend one. As quick as I have the afghans made, they are sold or I make them as people want them. Then babysitting kind of takes away from my crochet time too. Oh well maybe I will have enough done by the fall and everyone will be looking for a different kind of Christmas gift.

have a great weekend.

Darlene,

You have some really wonderful afghans you made. I wish I was able to crochet like that.

DeeDee · 03-17-2008, 07:49 PM

Sophia, you just will have to come visit and I can teach you how to crochet.

Thanks.

Thank you Polly. I guess I will do a little bragging here for a change.
I love making afghans and here are the ones I have made up to now.
