I noticed this post. when you plant tomatoes it helps immensely to put cut up banana peels in the hole. You will get more tomatoes than you could imagine. There is also a mulch made of diced banana peel, coffee grounds (dried) and egg shells (broken) it's an amazing cure for tired soil

I have finally posted a pattern for the outfit I finished in'18. I have another outfit called "Java" for the coffee but it needs a lot more work... maybe someday

I made this outfit last year but I just couldn't take and process the pics. Well it is finally finished. I love this set but of course it has PINK in it. the PDF is here:straight.pdf For some reason Yahoo has stopped functioning for groups so people cannot get my stuff there anymore

I did want to let y'all know what I have been up to. It took me 3 months to make the 2 stroller blankies and one dress (I had the first one made ages ago.) I am trying to decide if I should just donate all my yarn (and get about a million points in stashbusting) or if I should keep some in case I can crochet again. (In the old days, it would have taken me 3 days and not 3 months to do this bit 😢

it is here

it means dear grand daughter

I just wanted to let y'all know what is happening. At this point I have given up crochet and I can't see getting it back any time soon. I have some stuff I want to get together and send when I am up to it. I also have patterns that just need pics or some typing that I hope to be able to finish. It just about killed me when I had to quit sewing but this is harder somehow. will let you know if things change

I heartily recommend this book for flowery bits: 99 Crochet Flowers https://www.amazon.ca/99-Crochet-Flowers-Awesome-Embellishing-ebook/dp/B00DR483TQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1524327431&sr=1-1&keywords=crochet+flowers Copyright: Darlene Cutler - 2018 I do not have a problem with people/groups using my patterns to make a little extra money by physically making them and selling the items they make. However, I do not permit the selling of my patterns for money. I have once given permission for a booklet to be made of them for a charitable sale and I may do so again *if I am asked* and if it is for a church, charity or school type group. But first you have to ask. Furthermore, If you choose to use my patterns as a money maker, I do not permit my images to be used for any advertizing of your work. You must make your own item and photograph that. These images are as much a part of my Web image as a designer as the patterns are and I reserve that use to myself alone. I'm not sure what is happening with Yahoo groups

then go with what your eyes see. if the pattern is wrong go with your mind.

Row 8 is the beginning of increase rows to make the skirt fuller. for each dc you will work 2 dc but you maintain the post stitches to continue the 'rivulets' motif.

I'm just posting to say that I will be on hiatus until I am able to crochet again. it is such a struggle

found a new shawl type - I hope this catches on

finally got here to post WTD= +2 YTD= +7
