The Snuggles Project

  So many animals get left behind in the shelters most of which never get adopted. They are in small crates or cages with just the bare minimal necessities to survive. They often need blankets to give them warmth and comfort while waiting for their forever homes. There is a organization the started a project called  The Snuggles Project. Crafters of all kinds can crochet, knit or sew blankets to donate to the shelter of their choice to help out. Check it out!

~ Happy New Year Everyone~ (a little late but still early in the year lol)

I'm catching up on my blogging...I have had plenty of knitting and crocheting going on since we have had snowstorm after snowstorm hit us here in the northeast, in my "neck of the woods' as Al Roker would say lol.
It was pretty to look at for a while but now I am ready for spring and some fun spring knits/crochet patterns. *smiles*
.....Latest accomplishment I have completed the granny afghan and sent it off to my friend Shay, I will post pics later.
I have also made some neckwarmers and scarves embellished with flower ( see pic above). It is made with wool-ease thick and quick in charcoal which makes it nice and warm and squishy on your neck. the flower added gives it a little extra "flair" and a little Victorian collar like too.(see pic below)

Also , with Valentine's Day approaching I am making a wreath with crocheted roses and hearts.
