Pay It Forward, and an amazing story from Aquila!

I just joined Pay It Forward. I was very curious when I saw this picture on so many other blogs. It took me awhile to find an open opportunity to join in this. A big thank you to Monica at Pink & Blue.

Now, here is how it works. Sometime in the next year, I will be the lucky recipient of a handmade surprise from Monica. Then I must "pay it forward" to three others by sending a handmade item to them in the next year. Who? will I send to. Well, this is up to you the readers!!!

The first 3 folks to sign up in the comments section will be my PIF (pay it forward) group. Each of you who signs up must then post to send to 3 others.

Be sure to leave me an email address for you if you do not have a link on your blog. Leave your email on the comment section or email me.

Also, if you did not yet hear the news...read here about brave 98 year old woman found alive in the rumble of her home. When asked how she spent the time...she said...she was crocheting!!!

Rainbow Swap

Here are the fabrics I will be making my churn dash blocks with. I love this purple and have wanted to use this fabric for something fun for the longest time! Hope Section One gang likes it!

I am also working on a simple little crochet project for my 4 year old to bring to school tomorrow for St. Patty's Day. I found these wonderful little shamrock patterns at this link at Knotty Generation. The boys think it is a kick to be able to bring and pass out stuff for the holiday. I really don't like the way the kids get so much in the way of candy, but when I send my little crochet or felt pieces to pass out the kids keep them. I still see kids wearing the hearts I made for Isaac's valentines.

Dinosaur Time

I am so excited to report that my boys are now in their dinosaur stage! Having really loved them when I was a kid (and even as a grown-up) it has been fun to ask the librarian to find books for us, to look at movies with dinosaurs, to pretend to be dinosaurs, and the boys asked me to make dinosaurs for them to have in bed at night (we don't put hard toys in bed...only stuffies!).


Here are some of the photos of the dinos both in polar fleece and crochet.
