First of all I want to thank all of you for your sweet and kind comments from my last blog post. I am very grateful that you read my blog and enjoy what I talk about. Next thing I’m sure you already could figure out that I will be away from here for longer periods of time in my preparation for the Kansas Barn Sale. I only have a few more weeks and it looks like the last two weekends before the sale are already spoken for. Second of all I want to share some highlights of my weekend and week. I finished my stripey scarf that I showed you from the last post.
Since I have nothing better to do, I spent too much time on Facebook and one of the crochet pages that I “Like” showed a picture of a doily afghan. Well-l-l-l that lead to me purchasing the pattern, starting, and finishing four of them this last weekend; a light aqua one, a brown one, a pale violet one,
and a cranberry red one. I love how they all turned out and I am looking forward to seeing how they sell at the Kansas Barn Sale.
We had our monthly crochet guild meeting.
I made more bracelets and in answer to Alice’s question, “Yes” I am having fun making these simple little items and I think a lot of people will enjoy wearing them as well. 🙂 At first I was going to only make 12 of them. Well I have made over 20 and when I show people what I have been working on, they want to buy them; so now I only have 5 left. I had better get to crackin’ on those since they seem to be a HOT item.
I received my prize money for winning second place in the over 12” doily category. I thought it was funny that the name of the person that signed the first line on the check is the same name as my nieces’ maiden name. 😉 I have decided to make some cowls and earwarmer headbands, so I need to get off of here and get to crocheting. I hope everyone is doing well and I promise I will be back to blogging more regular when the sale is over. Love you all and hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Crochet with Tamara 
I love everything you’ve made, but especially the doily afghans. I would like to purchase the pattern as well, can you send me the shop link?

Hi Tamara!
I love your wall decor where your doily afghans are hanging. Could you please tell me what yarn you used and the approx. diameter of the doily-afghan? So purrty!
Hey – you better hurry up and cash that hefty check ‘cuz it expires in 6 months. Bwaaaa-Haaaa!!! ;-D
So funny that you sold 15 of the 20 bracelets you made, before the barn sale is even here. That’s a great NEW barn they erected for the $ale this year. Have fun getting ready for it…. tick-tock-tick-tock…
Love ya!

Hi Kat!
Thanks for loving the wall decor in my kitchen. The yarn that I used is Hobby Lobby’s “I Love this Yarn”. I really do love that yarn and all the many colors to choose from. Since the clock is ticking so quickly I have to run now to try and finish up a few more of the bracelets before heading off to work. As always thank you so much for stopping by to comment; you always make my day.
Love you!
Tamara
