Stripey Socks
Made these shades of grey stripey socks for daughter Anna. The pattern is from Getting Started Knitting Socks. I used a self-striping fingering weight sock yarn.

Rocket Ship Bubble Gum
My grandson, Aiden, loves to say the words "rocket ship bubble gum." We think he saw a rocket ship-shaped bubble gum machine at the store. Who knows. Anyway I made him a rocket ship with 2 aliens and 2 space men that go inside it. He loved it!
I found the pattern at Crochetville, a crochet forum.
Now I have to crochet some bubblegum. :)

Nativity
I made this Nativity while I was in Ohio staying with mom. I gave it to my daughter Mary. I bought the pattern from www.gourmetcrochet.com.

Josiah's Birthday Bear
I made this for Jojo's birthday which was in September, but I'm just now getting caught up on my blog. I got the pattern from a book called Mr. Funky's Super Crochet Wonderful by Narumi Ogawa.

Brian's Scarf
I made this scarf for my son-in-law, Brian. I just made the pattern up from a picture. I think he really liked it - yay!

Christmas Stockings
These are my crazy Christmas stockings. I made them all within the 4 days before Christmas. The last one I made is the one on the left. It looks like a hockey stick cozy. :)

Storm at Sea Quilt
This is the quilt Mom gave me while I was in Ohio. It's called the Storm at Sea. You can see the Heart in red at the bottom right. I love this quilt and have been sleeping with it every night, remembering Mom as I drift off.
Thanks Mom!

Stuff Mom Made
We put all the stuff together that we found in the house that Mom made. She made much more than this of course, but she gave most of it away. That was Mom.
This is the quilt that was on the bed that I slept in while I was there.

Mom
These are the last videos of my mom, that my daughter Mary took when she came up to visit her a few weeks ago. Mom passed away on November 25 and I will always miss her.
A heart is not judged by how much you love; but by how much you are loved by others. -The Tin Woodsman, in The Wizard of Oz
