Ok, I'm doing a quick search for free patterns

Just for all of you, and I found a site that has many patterns, it even has a link that tells how to convert knitting to crochet. So I am going to post this link first. Oh, and it even tells how to make broomstick lace, I only learned this a couple years ago.

I hope you enjoy this link...

And another sit I just found I am sure you'll love if you like to crochet, I just looked at the site a little, and found dozens and dozens of patterns. Everything from toys to afagans, to useful items around the house...
I am saving this site so I can look through it again more indepth.

I just found another really neat site, I could spend hours browsing for inspiration and ideas of things to make some people are so creative and talented...
Anyway, I hope you like tonights last link as much as I do...

I think I will look at some of the patterns there as the camera is being found...(first the batteries needed charging and now the camera has been misplaced...it'll get better, I know it will.. I just have to keep telling myself so...)

Ok, I'm back...

I made a clothespin bag, and it looks pretty.:) I'll post a picture of it after a little bit, we are waiting on the batteries for the camera to charge.

So you all will just have to wait a little bit to see the clothespin bag I just made, today. It turned out a lot better than I expected. So I am happy about that.

I am going to try to get a couple more made tomorrow if possible, I have the resources to make two more. I am thinking I'll make another cloth one and then make one crochet.

My dd just made a cake and is bringing me a piece of it so I'll be back in a few minutes with more crochet links for everyone to look at...

An Encouraging scripture to meditate on before I get busy...

(2 Peter 3:9 KJV)


The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

I'll try to find some more patterns for you tomorrow if I can. But tonight I have some things that must be done...

Today has been a little long, and tiring

And I am still not done with everything I needed to get done in the kitchen. I wish I could just get everything done faster.

I am going to try to at least finish up the cabinet and floor so I can get started on a laundry bag I wanted to get made today, But first I think I will drink a cup of tea.

I'll have my daughter take a picture of the afagan I am working on in a little while and I'll get that posted. Then when I get the laundry bag made I'll post a picture of that. I am thinking I'll add a few crochet flowers to the laundry bag so it will be a little different.

I'm going to draw out a picture of what I'm thinking then if it looks ok, I think I'll go ahead with that tonight. Especially as it is likely I won't get a lot done tomorrow as I have a relative coming to visit who loves to tell me how everything I do is wrong. I probably should not of said that but it's true and this relative just does not know any better than act in the way she does so I just have to bite my tongue and not say anything to hurt their feelings reguardless of how they make me feel...


Well, we won't dwell on the negatives in life we will look into just making some crochet flowers in a little bit to decorate a laundry bag. I have some pink yarn that will make some pretty flowers, now I just need to look at the cloth I have and see what I have that will match pink.

Of course I'll need to wash, and dry the material I have and iron it, but after that I think it should be pretty easy going. At least I hope so.

Well I'm nearly finished with my tea so I guess I need to get to looking for some material to match the yarn I have, so I can get that done soon...

A motivational quote to help you get started today...

An idea not coupled with action will never get any bigger than the brain cell it occupied.

So it's 8 am and no one is up...

I need to get everyone up so we can get some things done today. I need to get some cleaning done, and try to get a clothespin bag made, I am thinking of adding crochet flowers to the finished bag.
I should have that done later today. I'll try to post a picture when it's finished.

I don't have to babysit today so I should be able to get a lot more done today. The boys have a good bit of school work to get done today, but since their dad is home maybe he will be able to help them some while I finish up on a few things.

The shelves in the rolling cabinets are finally fixed, so I will be able to get things put away neatly. I also need to clean the refrigerator.

Well I won't get nothing done today if I don't hurry.

But before I go I wanted to post a couple of links to free crochet patterns online, so I'll do that, then get started with everything else...
