Halloween Crochet

I have been working on items for Halloween Swaps on various groups.

Here is a pic of a ghost, Pumpkin and a pumpkin fridgie. I sent the ghost and the big pumpkin to Sue at Denise's Crochet Group.

I am still working on more Halloween items and will post a pic when they are finished.

It's in the bag - Purse/Tote Swap at C'ville

I received my tote bag from my partner Stephanie at the "Ville.

I just love this bag, so pretty.

She also included some extras goodies.

Here is a pic of the bag I made for her. Unfortunately, the color looks all washed out in this picture. It is reallya nice Midnight Blue.

Dragon King Daylilies Blooming

My Dragon King daylilies are blooming. I saw the first open bloom this morning when I took the dog out. It wasn't long before I was outside with my camera taking a pic of that gorgeous flower.

Bela Lugosi Daylily

My "Bela Lugosi" daylilies are starting to bloom. My camera batteries are dead, so I took a pic with my cell phone. I am impressed, the pic turned out really well.


The blooms on this plant are just so lovely. Too bad the blooms don't last long.

I have another named Daylily, "Dragon King" but it hasn't bloomed yet this year. I want to get a pic of it, too. I will post the pic when I get one.

I planted some Amaryllis bulbs, but most likely won't see any blooms this year.

I got some herbs a 2 or 3 weeks ago. I planted these in containers and I have them sitting on my porch. I have sage, sweet basil, catnip, spearmint, hyssop, lavender and echinecea (Cone Flower).

My First African Violet Wasp Bloom!!

I am so excited Blue Tail Fly has a bloom!! This is my first wasp to bloom. I couldn't resisit taking a pic of the bloom.

As the picture shows, the plant has other buds, but they are taking their own sweet time about opening. I hope to get another pic with several buds open at once.

At our last AfricanViolet club meeting I aquired Optimara Little Moonstone - full of blooms!

and Episcia Checkboard - in bloom as well.

and Orchard's Bumble Magnet not in bloom. So I won't bother with a picture.

Happy AVing!

Baby Blanket

I got so far behind in posting pics of my finished items.

Here is a baby blanket that I completed back in January. I just realized that I never posted a pic of it on here.

I used Joann's Sensations yarn for this project.

Lapghan Finished!

I am really late in posting this one. I finished and shipped the lapghan I made for my Secret Sister, Elizabeth. And of course in all the excitement I forgot to take a picture of it! LOL! Go figure!

But Elizabeth came to my rescue and sent me the pictures she took of it.

So here is the lapghan I made for my SS.

Below is the laghan that Elizabeth made for me.

Below is a closer shot of the stitches in this lapghan.

Thank you, Elizabeth, you really do lovely work.
