Friends

Don’t you just love your friends? I feel truly blessed to have such good friends in my life. For instance last week at our guild meeting a few sisters made me happy. First of all there’s Karen; she’s a true crocheter and not only because she crochets beautifully but she also gives of her heart and hands. Don’t you find that most true crocheters are that way? Anyway at the guild meeting she was showing and sharing some of the things that she had crocheted and knitted in the last month.

Just like this doily that she crocheted; her husband told her that the color of the thread was ugly so she wanted to give it to the guild for a door prize. As I took it to place it in the door prizes Karen told me to keep it for myself. I must have looked a little apprehensive, but Karen assured me that I deserved it since I don’t usually take a door prize ticket, so I now am the proud owner of a beautiful doily that Karen made. Thank you Karen, I love it and the color too.

Karen also knits and she had a stack of washcloths that she had knitted. I kept admiring them and Karen stopped after the guild meeting and asked me to pick out a couple to keep for myself. These are the ones that I chose.

Then there’s Kaye who is Karen’s sister. Kaye is also the Vice President (VP) of the KS My Stitch crochet guild. One of the VP’s jobs is to coordinate the monthly programs. By the way, Kaye and all the previous VP’s have done a wonderful job. This month Kaye chose to do crocheted edgings and the guild provided each person with a white washcloth to edge.

Kaye had been busy crocheting around a stack of items. In the stack of items were washcloths, I couldn’t help but notice that there was a turquoise and a hot pink washcloth all edged nicely. I commented to Kaye that they were two of my favorite colors and that she should keep an eye on them as they may end up in my bag. (I was just kidding of course) Kaye is a true crocheter too, who gives of her heart and hands. Thank you Kaye for all that you do!

Well much to my surprise at the end of the meeting Kaye had Karen place the two beautiful turquoise and hot pink washcloths in my bag. I do love the way they look all rolled up on my shelf in my upstairs bathroom of turquoise and hot pink. 🙂

Then my own sister Jackie; who is also my best friend gifted me with this lovely iron on transfer. Apparently she thinks I’m the queen of crochet. Although I know there are other crocheters out there who are more deserving of the title than me, I will accept the crown just the same. 😉 Jackie can crochet but her heart and love is sewing and she gives of her heart and hands too. These are just a few of the kind gestures that came my way last week and I wanted to share them with all of you. Do you have friends who do nice things for you? I would love to hear about them.

Oh by the way some of you were asking me how my burned finger is doing. Well here it is; the blister has turned to something brown looking and feels like leather. I hope that’s a sign of healing; anyway I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday and I’ll talk to you on Friday with updates of what’s been on my hooks.
