Miss Emma, Ducky, Jennifer, Megan, Another Flower and My New Hairdo

Happy Wednesday everyone, I just remembered that I meant to share this with you on the last post; Miss Emma and Ducky arrived at their new home and here’s what their new owner had to say:

“HI TAMARA!!!

THEY ARRIVED!!! =^..^= And I have the pictures to prove it!! (see attached)
Oh Tamara ~~ They are soooo waaaay cuter in purrson!!! I am amazed at that. I love how soft 'n fluffy Miss Ducky is. 'Kurious Kat' would like to know what yarn was used for her. I am so pleased with these very special birthday gifts. :-* I can't get over that you put a snap on that tiny thread sweater. So purrty!!I am just bubbling over with gratitude that words cannot fully express.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!

With Love 'n Hugs 'n Purrrs..........”

Here’s Emma with the toy Miss Emma

and here’s Emma with her Ducky. Please go here to read all about it.

My week has been busy already, Kaye Gruver who has graciously accepted the position of organizing the Charity workshop invited us over to her house on Monday to crochet around fleece that she took the time to cut, staystitch all around, and run her handy dandy rotary cutter along the edges of each piece of fleece so that we could push our hook into the holes and edge all the way around.

Here’s the one that I crocheted around; my blanket was made from the ends that Kaye had left from the 36” square pieces of fleece, then she made the holes in both pieces so that I could crochet all the way around each one and then I crocheted them together in the center. Then I edged it with a simple shell stitch. I love the way it turned out and I hope the person that receives it loves it as much as I did making it. You can go here and see all the other members’ blankets in progress.

Tuesday My Megan and Jennifer surprised me by showing up where I work. We had to make our rounds to show everyone how much she has grown and when we came to Joe;

he had to give her the world (a stress ball that had a drawing of the world on it) Ha! Ha! He also gave her one of those squishy stress balls too and said it was an octopus. Joe is so funny. He has a son who is going off to college real soon and we’ve been discussing the empty-nest syndrome that his wife has been experiencing. I do know what she’s going through, don’t I?

Anyway I had made plans to meet Jennifer and Megan at our favorite “Chidese” restaurant and we did just that. My Brother-in-Law and Sister-in-Law are here from Connecticut and my sister-in-law crocheted Jennifer, Megan, and me a prayer shawl each.

Here’s Megan’s and

After we had our Chidese dinner; Jennifer and Megan came over to my house so that Megan could play with my doll and play dress up, then I blogged while she played and Jennifer napped.

Oh by the way before I forget, here’s the other flower that goes with this fabric and this way of making the flowers seemed to be harder, because I would pick up a different color of yarn to do the next round of petals and I would have to put it back because that color wasn’t in the fabric. I still love the way it looks with the fabric and YES there’s another flower in the works. Ha! Ha!

I thought you all might be interested in seeing the other side of my hair or not? I tried like crazy to get some pictures of the back of my hair, but it just doesn’t work for me as I have too short of arms,

so I had my dear husband take a picture of me. I think I look pretty sassy!!!! Ha! Ha! What have you all been up to this week? I would love to hear what you’re working on and I hope you all have a wonderful rest of the week.
