A group to encourage each other to make gifts in 2019

Bought some small dinosaurs for the daycare where I work. I made the buckets to hold them because 1) I dont want them lost on the toy shelves and 2) toddlers love to dump and fill.

Soft buckets are good for this because they cant flip them over and stand on them.

Cute cow, Mary Jo!

Judy, that's a sweet blanket; I know she'll love it.

ratdog, great idea on the buckets!

[minwifeof4boys]

Judy.. the blanket is beautiful!!

ratdog... excellent idea with the buckets...

[Tampa Doll]

Love the blanket. 

ratdog, perfect for the little ones.  It is like you are giving them soft boxes.

FINALLY finished the blanket for my grandson, Ethan. He will be three in April... these were suppose to be tractors... but they look more like monster trucks.... he likes both so we are going with monster trucks...LOL

 

[greyhoundgrandma]

Lea, love the blanket. Making that one for my GS is on this year's project list. The trucks/tractors are great!

[Tampa Doll]

Wow that is just so cute.  He is going to love it.

[Apak]

The blanket is so cute!

I love the baskets with dinosaurs!

[judianne]

Thanks, ladies!! It was fun to make the small blanket,

rat dog, love the buckets! I've made some oversized baskets and I love how quickly they make up - and I can use whatever colors I feel like using!

Christening blanket

[ratdog]

The blanket is so pretty. I am sure it will be treasured

[minwifeof4boys]

judianne.. that is absolutely beautiful.....

[judianne]

Thanks so much, ladies!

[ratdog]

Two more buckets for the preschool. I made three but the buckets are as popular as the dinosaurs so I made two more.

The kids like them as hats

[judianne]

Hi peeps!

Finished the Spoke Flower blanket, a free pattern on Ravelry. Pattern was very wordy, but once I underlined the important parts it was smooth sailing. These colors were requested, as the baby's room will have a unicorn and dolphin theme. Mine measures 46 inches and is made entirely from stash🤗

I took a close up of the border, a crab stitch done in the back loop, sequence there is two brands of lavender, violet or purple (lost the wrapper) and ended with real teal. Indoor lighting unfortunately.

[Tampa Doll]

Boy it has been a while since I was here.  Love the Christening blank and the other on Judianne and Ratdog, the buckets are so cute.

I made a gonk for Easter, he is dressed as a bunny. You can see him here.

Today I just posted the April/Easter Table and Tree.

Right now I am trying to make a sweater vest in knit.  Have ripped out most of it, so I must get back.

[judianne]

Mary Jo - I ADORE your easter tree and critters. You are amazing💞

[minwifeof4boys]

judianne.... LOVE the blanket!  I finally finished the bunnies for the grandchildren's Easter baskets..... Chris said they look like cyclops bunnies... but I swear they DO have eyes!

My mother passed away very peacefully and in no pain into the arms of Jesus. She had not sought chemo but chose to live out the rest of her life at home and never had any pain or had to go on morphine. She just passed in her sleep, but I am definitely missing her a lot.

Thank you to all who prayed. Her and my dad were married for 57 years. He is heartbroken. I am thinking of eventually trying a graphgan of her for him.

Courtney, I'm so very sorry to hear about your mom. I think your idea of a graph ghan for your dad is a super good one. We've been married for 51 years and I can't imagine how he feels.

She will be very much missed💕

[minwifeof4boys]

So very sorry Courtney...
