My Sweet Dad





















My dad passed away on January 2nd. Since his passing I have been overwhelmed with feelings of gratitude to have been born to Don and Dian Schliesman. Thank you God that I was born to parents who knew what You require, to do justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with God.

3 More Bookmarks

Made a bunch more bookmarks while I was in Ohio recently. I used my favorite, 3 Dozen and One Bookmarks.
























Baby Wash Cloths

Got these patterns from this book: All Washed Up, by Drew Emborsky, "The Crochet Dude." The yarn is Lily Sugar n Cream cotton, which I love to work with. I made a 4th little scrubbie thing, but forgot to take a picture.

Crochet Remy

Made this little "Remy" from the movie Ratatouille, for my grandson, Josiah, who loves that movie. The pattern was on Craftster.














































































Pink Mohair Moebius Scarf

Made this "moebius" scarf for my daughter Mary for Christmas. The yarn is a mohair blend, Paton's Lacette, which is a discontinued yarn. The pattern was a free one that I downloaded off the internet.

Slipper Socks & Matching Headband

I crocheted these for my sweet granddaughter, Skye, for Christmas. She picked out the yarn at the LYS that used to be in Mt. Dora. It's a soft, chenille with her favorite pink and purple colors. I got the pattern from this book: Crocheted Socks.

































Mice for Biz & Dexter...

I crocheted a couple of mice for my grand-kitties, Biz & Dexter. I got the pattern off the internets, but now that I'm looking for it I can't find it! anyway, it was super easy. I'll try to get the pattern posted later.

Mama Knits

My daughter Mary bought me this print for my birthday, from Etsy. It beautifully combines two of my favorite things - knitting & nesting dolls! I bought the ceramic tile frame off of Etsy too.






























White Baby Afghan and Bunny

Afghan I made for Leslee's baby shower at her Dad's house.

I've used this pattern a lot. It's on the wrapper of the Pound of Love skein of yarn that I use. It's easy, fast and pretty, a good combination!

I got the bunny pattern off of another wrapper. This isn't the exact pattern but it's pretty similar.

Birthday Bookmark

Here's another one that I will use for a birthday card. Once again I used the scanner to take the picture. I like the black background, but the picture came out a little fuzzy. I'll try upping the resolution next time.
