Beginning on Juliet's

So now time to begin our Minnie Mouse colored afghan.... We decided to make these little flowers:
It actually only takes about three minutes to make one... So that is good... I will be sewing the all on to a big piece or red fleece. The recipient is a die-hard Minnie fan and loves the color red.... I am making the flowers red, yellow, white and black to fit into the Minnie theme.... We shall see how it turns out... Will post more later! 

Rhonda is complete!!!

I really love the way the ruffled border came out! Absolutely Awesome! I hope she really enjoys it! Thank you to all that helped make this comfortghan possible!

What I'm working on

As I sit here at work and ponder plans for the day... I have green yarn in my hand adding to some green squares to make Rhonda's afghan... I also stayed up till about 10:30 last night working on flowers for Juliet's afghan! Still need a lot more red ones, but I have a big dent in yellow to go with our Minnie Mouse theme!

Jennie

A big giant shout out to IANNA for completing this mission for us! Jennie hasn't been doing well so it looks like this one will come right at the perfect time for her! Ianna put a beautiful new border on this one. So happy to have this angel as my friend!
