What Do You Do When The Lights Go Out?

Stormy Weather Leads to Leaky Roof Apparently not much.  Well, that isn’t altogether true.  It’s just that you have to pack in as much activity during daylight hours because you really can’t do much at night without electricity.

Crocheted Flowers on Felted Bags Yes, I am still felting and will probably continue to do so for the foreseeable future.  I finally got the little flowers that I crocheted felted.  They turned out very nicely.  I’m not sure if I’m going to actually add them

Yes, I am still felting like crazy, although I’ve calmed down a bit since the last article I posted on the topic.  I think I actually went a week without felting anything.

In my last post, I talked about my first felting experiments with small knitted pieces that I hand felted.  In this post, I’ll talk a little about my first washing machine felted project, also knitted, as well as a few crochet felted pieces I’ve done.

No, this isn’t a post about my latest romantic escapade (hah!  I wish!); it’s about something I’ve thought about for a while, but never got around to doing anything about until now.  And that’s FELTING!!

Crocheted Sierra Skirt Completed!! (… well, mostly)

Adrienne Models Her Crocheted Sierra Skirt I finally finished the Sierra Skirt that I was  crocheting for my daughter, Adrienne.  Doesn’t she look cool in it!?!  The “mostly” in the title represents the fact that she didn’t want the full fringe that the pattern calls for, primarily because she didn’t want it to be dragging on the ground.  So I

Long Time, No Post on My Crochet Blog

Enjoying O’ahu Instead of Crochet Blog Posting Yes indeed, it has been awhile.  But can you blame me?  I finally moved into a 3-bedroom house that I am renting.  Have I already talked about that?  I don’t think so.  It’s a block and a half away from where my daughter lives.  So we are close, but not too close, if

I Made It to Hawaii!!!!!!

I can’t believe I’m finally here in windy Kaneohe, HI, the little town on the Winward shore of Oahu where my daughter, Adrienne, lives.  The photo to the left was taken from her front yard.  Clouds moving across the sky are a typical sight here.
