Well I never thought I of all people would have a blog,but then again i never would have thought i could learn a wonderful craft such as crocheting either! I just wanted to have a little place to share my love of crochet and my desire to help others in need.I have been crocheting now for about 5 months.Thanks to my wonderful son Dan who was patient enough to teach me the basics.I have been scouring self teaching books,videos and the ladies and gentlemen from crochetville.org and crafting for a cause (one of the great charity groups on yahoo) have been trying to help me learn the rest.
I have been crocheting afghans for crafting for a cause
(click on the link to learn more about this wonderful cause!) Which donates to several different charities.such as pine ridge Indian reservation,Uc Davis infusion center and more.I love the feeling of giving to others.Especially during this time of year.
Crafting for a cause is a great group of ladies and they always welcome new members.If you are interested in joining the group you can click on the link and learn how you can become a member too.The link will also take you to our little online store which sells all kinds of things from member made items ,to patterns,hooks,and so much more.You don't have to just crochet to join the group we have people who do all sorts of crafts!

WELCOME!!
Hello and welcome to my little place on the internet.I'm a 35yr old disabled Mom of a wonderful 18yr old.I'm from Algonquin,Illinois and I 'm Rather new to the world of crochet as i have only been doing it for roughly five months now thanks to my son Danny who got me started this summer.I love it though! What i love the most though is i crochet mostly afghans and "blankies" for various charities.
I especially love making the "blankies" for the new borns of Pine Ridge Indian reservation O.b. Unit In South Dakota,and for The preemie babies for an orginization called Care wear .org. Though all of these orginizations are very important to me ,making items for the babies especially the newborns is very dear to me.My son was a preemie when he was born and the Doctors and nurses of N.I.C.U. Of the hospital where he was taken to shortly after birth were just wonderful to us!
That was a very hard and emotional time for us and I don't know if i could have made it through all of that with out there support.I have never forgotten how they treated us or the wonderful care my son received,Therefore i thought finally a way i can give back in some way! I hope you will take a moment to look at the links to the right and check out these great charities.If you are interested in joining any of the yahoo groups i belong to such as crafting for a cause etc so you too can crochet,or sew , or knit too for that matter, just click on the link provided and it will take you to the join page.
