Ballerina for my niece

I crochet a ballerina blanket for my niece.  The last time that I crocheted her a blanket was 9 years ago.  I wanted to give her something special and to celebrate her enjoyment of dance.  My sister says she loves it and slept with it the first night.

Merry Christmas

Happy Holidays

Crochet Luncheon

For our Luncheon, we raffle off items that members donate.  I had to complete two blankets from squares that were made from the previous years square contest.  The square contest are 12" crocheted squares that are submitted relating to the theme.  Last year's theme was Fall Harvest.  Therefore, the squares related to the season.

Crochet Luncheon for 2014

I have been missing a while in posting to this blog.  In September,  I was preparing for my crochet guild's annual luncheon.  I was the chairperson this year. I also had to created items for the table, fashion show and game.

   The Theme was Fairy Tales, Fantasy and Myths.

This is the blanket that I created for the game.  If you knew songs to fairy tales, you could have been the lucky winner.  Example: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious- Mary Poppins

For the Fashion show, I wore Queen of Hearts and Don't Eat the Apple

For the Centerpiece I created the Princess and the Pea
