Jillian’s turn for a Nativity set.
It’s so funny to me how they are all from the same pattern…
they take on their own personality.
Happy Birthday Jillian…or Merry Christmas to come.
Love you honey.

St. Patrick’s Day “Paper” Chain
I could hardly wait for the Valentine’s Day “paper chain” to come down so that I could put up the St. Patrick’s day one. It’s so full of Irish spirit that I may just drape it around my neck and tell people it’s a scarf.
At least I won’t get pinched.
Heh, heh.
Valentine Crocheted Paper Chain
I’m loving the Ombre line of yarn from Red Heart.
It’s making my “Paper Chain” obsession even more fun.
Fear not. I’m working on the pattern–because people keep asking.
Slipper Socks
My answer to chronically cold feet. I didn’t really have one pattern. It’s a mixture of two or three. It’s big enough to put on easily, which is important because my foot is fused and doesn’t bend at the ankle much or the big toe at all. It’s also snug enough to stay on but not so tight that it makes my scar nerves go crazy.
Sounds complicated, I know.
But seriously–it’s a win.
Warrior Penguin
When we were in Las Vegas, little Merrick asked me if I would make him a penguin.
Like any good Grammy–of course I said, “Anything for you my darling.” Yes, that’s just how I talk. Haha.
Once I was nearly finished with the little guy, Merrick asked for one more thing.
He asked if I could make it a Warrior Penguin with armor…
and could he have a sword…
that he can really hold?
I said, “Hmmmm, why yes. I bet I could.”
Love you Merrick.
Note: The basic pattern I used for this is Pin the Penguin by Vesnianka Patterns on Etsy
