So I promised more photos and a break down of all the yarn I bought last night. I didn’t count out all the colors, but I did separate and count it by type. So here is the breakdown, with links to the yarns on line, and the retail price (based on the price of the yarn in the LYS, not on line.) The photos may not match up with the text, as they are just snaps of the unpacking and organizing efforts.

Julianna – Free Crochet Ear Warmer Pattern
The Julianna ear warmers are a granny square inspired pattern that was a gift for one of the many birthday parties the littles have gone to lately.
Flower Squared – a crochet flower to embellish you projects
I made some ear warmers last week and they needed a fun flower applique, so here it is!
Heart Coasters or Appliques
This is a quick and simple crochet heart that has many uses. I like to sew them onto a piece of felt to make coasters.
So it begins! Craft Hope:: Project 19
As the girls still enjoy sharing a room, we have an empty room upstairs, which will one day (hopefully) be Kyla’s. For now, Owlivia ~ that cute little owlet lovey ~ sits in slumber waiting for her friends to arrive.
Finally, today, we found the time to open the boxes that have started to arrive. We were crazy busy last week, plus we all were a bit sickly, and didn’t want to get the softies all germ~ie!
What a week!
Last week was quite long and short, all at once. Do you know what I mean?
Before I get into it, I should share that I finally released my Fanny skirt pattern. I am having a give away for any one of my patterns (winners get to choose which one they want) over on my facebook page.
Softie and Toy Links for Project 19
Here is the list I promised for Project 19 to all my Craft Hope peeps! Links to various free patterns for softies. If you have more links you think should be added, just let me know. I hope this helps inspire you all to create some love for child victims of Sandy. I have done my best to only include free patterns, in the spirit of Craft Hope, however, if you know of a paid pattern or a coupon code that others may be interested in, go ahead and share that info with each other on the Craft Hope Facebook page.
I did it again
Once again I have teamed up with the amazing Craft Hope! The new web page is still under construction, but the Facebook page is running smoothly. So hop on over to the Craft Hope Facebook page and give them a “like.” Then check out Project 19 :: Dolls, Animals, and Monsters. Oh My! Share it with anyone you know who may be able to make handmade softies for kids who lost so much from Sandy. There are two people collecting for this project, the lovely Katrina up in NH, and yours truly.
I am working on a tutorial for you all for
