Moving on

Could not get the pictures posted for the two flower patterns. Will try again with some thing else. This is my first blog need I say more.
I have been busy with my blanket and a friend.... I started making some things for myself and then she told me she likes yellow so I grabbed a skein of Sunshine by Caron and took off hooking. So far I have a scarf, kitchen hand towel. Next is my mystery... will figure out soon. I will post once I am done with all her gifts. I am trying to learn how to post the pictures. Another friend knows how and has been helping me so now it is up to me.. bare with me okay!
My other problem has been my depression. Has any one else have depression? Well it is a big hassle. Right now I am waiting for one medicine to start working and believe me it feels like it is for ever. One thing that really kills me is when someone asks you what you are depressed about? Dumb, dumb and dumb. It is depression. I did not pick this it picked me. Understand this, it is something we have no control over it just comes on in your brain. I choose to use medicine to help me so now I am waiting for it to work. Any questions please feel free to ask. I am no pro but have been fighting with this all my life. Ending on a better note I will try to post some pictures soon. Just have to figure this out. Hummm

Cafe Curtains

I have been busy with 2 projects. One is my blanket that you see at bottom of page. And my second project is; cafe curtains, which I am making pot holders and using cafe clips to make it all work. This has been a fun project. I got 2 of the patterns from Michaels craft store. And the other is a granny square. Which I think will look good in the mix. I will let you be the judge. I will post pictures and patterns this week. Can you hang on till then? Until then keep those hooks a moving.....Don't you love crochet!

My Headbands

This is a great pattern... I got it from that same blog  The Royal Sisters. They have nice patterns check
them out. You will be happy.
You can make them for summer or winter use. These are every day use and I used 4 ply yarn. I think
 I will make some cotton ones for the summer. The pattern is beginner friendly. Takes a little time and
it looks good on. Enjoy the pattern at : The Royal Sisters.
