Da Garden












These flowers were crocheted with size 3 and10 thread as well as worsted weight yarn. Most have pins on the back for wearing on clothing, etc.



Garden Salad

Buying Peaches and Creme's cotton on a cone (mulitcolored yarn) inspired this hat.

Pretty in Pink

The pink yarn in from Bernat's Glow in the Dark line. This hat was crocheted for my Great Grand-Daughter.....Ari.

Peachy

Lovin' the feel and look of cotton by Peaches and Creme. This company offers many colors and at reasonable prices. I buy this cotton yarn from AC Moore, Walmart (on cones) and Michaels.

Olive Grove


This hat was completed in 100% cotton from Peaches and Creme and Lion Brand.

Mint Julep

This toddler's hat Granny Squares are crocheted with Bernat's Glow in the Dark yarn and Peaches and Creme's white cotton.

In Honor of my Best Friend GERALDINE


    Geraldine was one of three of my Best Friends. She was a plain and honest character who loved who she loved. Her remarkable ability to be a friend to many caused her to be a confidant to hundreds. Her quiet and sometimes forciful manner influenced hundreds of Hempstead's children.
     Geraldine went to be with the LORD on January 17, 2010. I miss her very much. She was my cheerleader and I was hers. We were fellow crafters, readers and warriors. Gerri knew much about the people of our community and could settle disputes quietly and quickly. It was never about her; it was about all.
    This doll I completed recently was to be given to her even though I told her it wasn't, but she knew better. However, she passed before I could surprise her with it.
     I named her Gerri-Ann in honor of Geraldine and Ann, my Mother. Since my Best Friend is no longer here in the physical I gave Gerri-Ann to Gerri's precious niece.
