Happy Father's Day......

I would like to wish all of those dads out there (in any capacity) a very Happy Father's Day!

I have heard from a few men that follow my blog, so I know you all are out there!

As for me and my family, we had a wonderful weekend celebrating with my Dad.

 Me and my Dad!

Me, Dad, and Sis after church Sunday morning.

You give my dad an engine of any type, and he is gonna be happy.

I certainly didn't inherit this from him!

He is in the middle of restoring this hit and miss antique engine.

The smile says it all!

Dad was a good boy, so I took him to go get some frozen custard!

On the crochet front........

who knew it could be so relaxing, and fun????

I have learned I like using a larger hook with bulky yarn.

This just works better for my hands.

I whipped up this lap afghan for my sister's birthday in no time!

I used THIS TUTORIAL on youtube.

Jennifer from Fiber Flux is an excellent teacher and has many free crochet patterns
and tutorials.  I have a feeling this may become a new hobby for me!

And, here is my sister thanking me for the afghan.

Trust me, she likes it! LOL

My friend Danielle that works at O'Sewpersonal gave me an AWESOME

bag of scraps!  I couldn't believe it when she handed it to me!

It is FULL of wonderful USABLE scraps! 

Thanks Danielle!

O'Sewpersonal also hosted a Demo day at the shop.

Here I am informing everyone about Bonnie Hunter's book String Fling

and showing some of my work from it.  I am also utilizing the technique of paper

foundation string piecing in some 

work of my own.  Like................

"String Star"

I love the way this little wall hanging turned out.

I envisioned it in my mind, and it just came to be.

Thanks TLC for the Kaffe scraps!  They were put to good use here!

I am imagining this as a large quilt with the background block cut down in size

and laid out in a 3x4 block setting.

I love the pieced background.......using up that stash!

Not to mention the scrappy binding.

There is a free pattern for this....but, you will have to go to 

O'Sewpersonal to get it! ;-)

Thanks for stopping by!

Hmmm....am I going to become Kevin the Crocheter?????

Have a great week!
