In the donate closet

The following blankets were made by mom's knit/crochet club. All to donate in October to the military base through the American Legion for families of soldiers. 

"She was an American girl"

For the christmas bazaar this year, my mother and a friend of hers are getting together and selling american girl doll outfits. Mom has taken it on to knitting doll sweaters, socks, mittens and hats. So far, she has two sweaters and a hat. here are a few photos I took today of what she has. The doll's hair was wild, so I braided it up. THAT was a task...

Mom just finished putting the buttons on this beautiful sweater. It is for a mutual love of ours. :)
The buttons are so lovely.

Mom finished up another blanket to donate to the christmas bazaar this December. I love this one. The blue is just excellent!

For a niece

Charitable

Here is a shot from this
Morning of mom crocheting granny squares together for a donation afghan.
Always making something for someone else.

Soakers

Momma made a few soakers for upcoming grandson Archie. He should be here in four days (or less)!!!
I didn't get a picture of all the soakers, but this one is cute anyway. There were grey ones, green and multicolored. So cool!

May progress

Mom just finished up these peach colored socks for herself.

Mom taught a few ladies at the Senior Center how to put afghans together, so this is one that few ladies are working on together. One lady makes the squares, and the other puts them together with the black yarn.


Mom is working on this afghan probably for a donation to a Fourth of July Raffle at the center. Or just to donate to the Veterans.

April giving

Mom finished up the gold afghan yesterday and gave both of the current missionaries serving in our ward afghans for their birthdays. BOTH of these guys had an April birthday, so it was a nice double birthday gift giving extravaganza. The blankets look gorgeous and they will be well loved by the guys.

donation blankets

mom's been trying a new setup for putting her afghans together. she calls this the "strip method". i think it looks very masculine.



Here is a new edge she's trying out too. it's kinda cute.

PRESENTING......

Here she is! The woman behind the curtain. The great and powerful OZ. My wonderful Mother. Modeling a blue shawl she just finished up for one of her dear sisters.

Afghan mom donated to the senior center for a raffle.

This past week has been very productive for mom as far as the knitting group stuff goes.
Here's a blanket that she finished up. I'm not sure if this has a destination yet, or if it will be donated to the senior center.

This blanket is one she just finished up this week and donated to the Senior Center for a raffle.

Mom's friend has a granddaughter that is in ballet and needed a very small bun cover for her performance, so mom put her fingers to work and produced this adorable little snood.

Mom is making at least 3 pair of these kneehigh socks for Clem. This is pair number 2.
She ran out of/can't find the yarn for the second sock of the 3rd pair. She'll probably find some tomorrow.
