The Middle of November!

Its now November.Wow! already!
Time sure has been flying. I've been busy with trying to move and settle down for awhile.I've moved things into storage and out. I'm still not done. However, life just keeps on going on around me. The kids are into activities that they are interested in. There are birthdays this month and now Thanksgiving is next week! I think of the days that nothing happens and time seems to slow down to a crawl. This has not been the case for me for the last few months.

My group, Crafter's in the Attic is doing well. We still have only a handful of ladies. They are some very sweet dedicated women whom I love dearly. Our group is currently making things for 100 orphans in Peru who sometimes have as little as a thin sheet to keep warm in temperatures of below 10. Slippers are sometimes worn as shoes as they have nothing else. My heart is sad for these children. So we are trying to help them as best we can hoping that God sends us more hands to do the work.

Lately, I've worked on some loomed hats. They work up really well if you use two strands of 4 ply yarn. I would imagine by the way they are turning out that they will be nice and warm. I'm also going to work on a blanket. A friend recently said she was using an I hook and working hdc which would make a nice warm blanket to keep someone warm. I have decided to give this a try. I want to send some fleece blankets as well. I have worked on sweaters but I'm not sure on larger sizes..Yet these children really need our help so I will give this a try. My knitting is still in the baby stages so it will have to be crocheted.

I just added some holiday recipes to our group. We were thinking that a nice page to leave up anytime our members wanted to find a different dish or dessert..or just spice up a midweek meal. I love our Nexo site. Its given us the freedom to create pages for our use and make the group a fun place to come. We still have our regular pattern pages and files/links..Having an arcade to come to is a nice break as well. I'm looking forward to finishing up my donations soon. I have a lot of holiday projects screaming at me..but now at this time of year most crafters do so I guess I'm in really good company.

Until we meet again!
Hook's Up!
