Starghan

Here is the beginning of my latest 'starghan'.  I just love this color combination....reminds me of sitting on a beach and being calm.

One the things I love about this afghan is the multitude of designs that can be made....any color combination, different widths of the colors...and you have a completely different look.

So, tell me....what color combinations do you like together? 

These usually sell for $70, but are on sale for $60....custom made especially for you (or a special someone).....and 15% of your purchase price is donated to help feed the homeless.

Can't get much better than this, can it?

Hat Time is Approaching!

Finally.....Friday has arrived.  A busy week at work, a busy week at home.  I'm looking forward to a relaxing weekend....knitting, crocheting, a pool party to attend tomorrow (hope the weather is like today--warm and sunny).

I've been enjoying the summer months, but the fall and winter will be quickly approaching.  And Christmas....yes, I'm already thinking of Christmas presents!!  Are you?

So, today we have the second Offering....a toddler/child slouch hat.

You know, these are quite the trend lately.  I made one of these for my granddaughter, showed two friends the finished product.  And then they wanted one for their granddaughters.

I've also worked up a pattern for an adult, so that size is also now available.

This is the children's slouch cap in teal.  It's also available in magenta, royal blue, black, white and purple.

They are made in a sparkly yarn because all little girls love their sparkle.  The back of the hat is shown, and there is a 2 inch ribbing which frames the face and keeps those little ears warm. 

You can order this in any of the above colors or choose another of your choice.

Toddler:   $10.00
Child:       $12.50


Again, please remember that 15% of your purchase price will be donated to help feed the homeless.  And shipping is currently free.

If you would like one of these adorable hats, please leave a comment or email me to discuss colors and size.

Now, I'm off to dinner with a friend.....

See you tomorrow!!

A Daily Ramble

Yesterday morning I stopped at the convenience store to buy a cup of coffee....just like I do every morning. 

It's early....6 a.m.  I pull into an empty parking spot, get out of the car.  As I'm starting to open the door to the store, I notice a young girl pulling in beside me.

Go in, prepare, pour and pay for my coffee.

I'm heading out the door when I see this young girl getting out of the driver's side of my car.  She sees me coming towards my car.

Poor girl!!  She is so embarrassed.  She says to me, "I'm so sorry.  I went to the ATM, turned around and got in the wrong car!!  They're both the same color, you know!!"

I reassured that everything was okay...no worries.

I told her that the exact same thing had happened to me, and it did!!

My daughter and I were shopping, came out of the store and got into a car.  We looked at each other and starting laughing....we were in the wrong car!!

Lucky for us, we were able to get out of the wrong car and into the right one before the owners arrived.

Oh, the silly things that can happen in a day!!

I'll be back tomorrow with the second Offering.

What did you think of the headband?  Do you have any suggestions for items that you would like to see made for Offerings?

For now, I'm off to work on a crochet shawl.  We'll see how that turns out.
