Finished Projects

Okay, I made this bracelet purse two days ago to match the duster I made for myself last year. I still have some yarn left over and I don't know if I'll make pockets for the duster or what. Well, at least having left over yarn doesn't hurt anyone! LOL



Here is a pic of a greeting card I made. I'm going to use these as m
personal cards but would also love to sell them to anyone interested. I'm going to make them with the different stitches and items one usually crochets and with different color thread and backgrounds. I'd love to find some crochet quotes to add to them.




This is the dress I made for Iva about 3 weeks ago. I'm pretty sure it won't fit anymore but she looked so cute it was well worth it. I can't imagine what she'll think in 20 years when she finds this in her trunk.




I tried to take a pic of my charm necklace, but its all out of focus so I'll figure out another way to post one.
Today we went to Bookman's while Dani was at his music class. I found the book Sickened. The authors name is Julie. She survived a mentally ill mother too. For some reason as I read the story and compare it to my own, and find so many similarities, I have to keep reminding myself that it is not a work of fiction. It is true. It happened. It continues to happen. I wish there was some way that I could do something to help all those people realize, as I have that we are special and loved and worthy and safe.

On another note, I was thinking of making an afghan with the flags of all the countries of the world and sending it to Congress as a reminder that this world is made up of immigrants simply because we all travel and we would want Americans to be welcomed in other countries and therefore should welcome all foreigners. My parents are immigrants as is my husband. Many families are made up of immigrants and we shouldn't forget that.
