The First SnB Meetup!

The first SnB Meetup went very well this past Saturday. It seemed like everyone had a good time talking and stitching. I didn't have time to gather a project of my own, but I'm looking forward to the next Meetup. I'm working on this, but fashioning my own pattern. Meaning, there IS no pattern!!
I should go check out the local Coffee Depot to see if it is an acceptable venue for out next meeting. But it's raining and I don't wanna go anywhere!

Thank you ladies.

Thank you Great Grandma for the cedar chest!

Thank you Great Aunt Helen for the huge yarn stash!

My only problem is that I seem to be accumulating all this yarn, and not doing any projects! It's so much easier to gather it than to use it! I have so many projects I want to do, but am not doing it! Maybe the new Meetup will get me moving.

In all it's glory, YarnBag-a-saurus...

Unfortunately, my cousin Deedee passed away recently. A few years back, her mom, my aunt, Helen, also passed. As family members were cleaning out the house, my mom had heard of this huge bag of yarn that was there. My great aunt Helen had taught my mom to crochet and then my mom taught me. It's something I cherish very much and it's something I can carry on for years for them both.
I have a lot of sentiment with this yarn, but at the same time, I suppose I should use it doing something I love: yarnbombing!

Behold..... YarnBag-a-saurus:

for scale purposes!)

I'm a creator!

I made a Meetup SnB and a Ravelry SnB! Here's to hoping for members!! I love my banner. I hope NatalieDee.com doesn't get upset. Better send an email...

I'm actually crocheting!

I'm currently working on my Purl Foundation squares for the homeless. I don't have great colors. For now, orange, white, dark gray wool, brown, maybe red.

Yarnnnnnn!

I just found a stash of cheapo yarn that I had to wind on my new winder (yay!), however....
*sigh*

An hour and a half. An hour.... and... a half. The green beast is safely in it's basket now, but what a pain. So many knots... so many tears...

I need to get in gear here. I WANT to do so many things, but would rather wind, browse and read about crocheting instead! Teehee.

The Toy Society

I found another cute cause! The Toy Society is kinda like yarnbombing, but where you WANT someone to take it. I like the idea of a little kid taking and loving whatever I create, or even a grown up! I applied to TTS, but first thing's first... I gotta learn how to crochet toys!!
