Turtle Drawstring Bag I Tested
I was lucky to get to test this bag for Turtlelvr. I am one of her 'automatic' testers. I used Red Heart Super Saver (RHSS) yarn. The solid color is Light Periwinkle and the multi color is Ocean.

Mini Shelled Messenger Bag & Matching Accessory Case
Here is my latest finished project. I am proud of how it turned out. The next one will look even better. I was so proud to be finished. It got old working with the same colors that long.

Rose Lawn 2009 Art Festival
I took the pictures myself. When my husband saw the picture of the white/blue scarf he asked how I got the black background. I told him I had put the scarf on the back of my computer chair. I figured a black background would help it show up really well. I was amazed at how great the picture turned out.
The images are click able so you can see the detail better.

Recovery
Well I went home the day of my surgery. The surgery went great well as great as it can.
I would have crocheted that day but I had a headache and was very tired. The next day I was back to crocheting. I have been crocheting every day since. Naturally, working on things for my art festival.
I want to thank every one for the kind words and prayers for a speedy recovery. It means a lot to me.
I am almost finished with a purse. I just have to sew on the strap and sew on the button and line it. I should be getting a sewing machine for my birthday. The lining the purse will have to wait until I get the sewing machine. When I do lining by hand it looks horrible. I will use the machine to sew the sides of the fabric together then attach it to the purse by hand.

Surgery...
Well on August 20th 2009 I will be having my
gallbladder removed. Hopefully, I will feel better
once I have recovered. I just hope I don't loose too
much crochet time.

Rose Lawn 2009 Art Festival
Two weeks ago I was accepted to sell items at my local annual art festival. I was screaming my head off for joy when I found out I was accepted. This is my first time selling my crocheted work. The art festival is September 19 & 20 this year. I have already crocheted a scarf, pot holder set, magnet, snowflakes and angel ornaments for the festival. I have a scarf I am working on and a penguin amigurumi.
