Show and Tell

Cindy is hosting Show and Tell again; go on over and see what she has in store.


My show and tell this week is this bedspread I crocheted over 20 years ago.  I suppose I was in college or had just graduated.  Those are great memories.















I hope you enjoyed your  visit.  HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

P.S.  Anni requested a picture of my Bob Crachitt and Tiny Tim, so I am adding that.  This is not a great picture, but they are to the right of the Claus's.

  5. What a great afghan/bedspread. They are always so warm. I had a few made for me- I do not crochet or knit, so I paid a co-worker to make them. My oldest one was made in the mid-seventies! wowie, that is old. Thanks for showing yours.

  11. It still looks as if you had made it yesterday ! Beautiful !

    Your vet is very expensive for his "babysitting" I think it would be cheaper to have somebody in the house who can watch over the little pet family. That's what some of my friends do.

  12. I'm always amazing that people can make these wonderful things. I would love to learn to crochet but it's taken me years to learn to knit just a rectangular shape! I'll just have to admire the work of others from afar :(
    Happy New Year...Kathy

  13. It is lovely to have special treasures like this around your home that have a story and meaning behind them, or in this case woven in the fabric.
