Greetings to All!

I wanted to let everyone know about a Craft Group that I own & run on Yahoo. The Group is called "Crafty Mom's Family Crafts and Recipes". The Group is for Moms, Grandma's, Aunts, Teachers, Girl Scout Leaders, Childcare givers, who love to use Crafts & Recipes as a way to bond with their children or Grandchildren. Are you a Mom or Grandma (or even an Aunt or a Teacher?)who does crafts with your kids or Grandkids? Or do you crochet, knit, bead, sew, or do needlework as gifts for them?

Do you like to cook with your kids or Grandkids? Have any favorite recipes or crafts that your kids or grandkids enjoy doing with you? Any favorite recipes? cookies? Cakes? you enjoy making together? Then join this group & share with the rest of the members in the group. This is a Family oriented group. We have growing Recipe, Crafts,kinitting,& Crocheting Databases & Files to share with members. And I try to add new craft & recipes info to the groups files on a weekly basis.Did I forget to mention a craft by name? Name the craft that you enjoy with your kids & the Owner/moderator will create a file with links to free patterns for your craft online.

Besides Crocheting & Beading, I also love to take pictures. My Dad taught me many years ago (back in the 1970's) how to use his photographer's 35mm zoom lens Kodak camera. Now I use a digital. In this picture I made a "mistake", I forgot to turn on the flash. But the end result worked out for the best. Below is the picture I ended up with, my first thought, was "damn I forgot the flash" & then I saw the image my camera captured.....
This is a Picture of my 14 year old daughter, Kat with her much loved Mr. Kitty. I forgot to turn the flash on the camera, but I like the way it turned out with the Late Afternoon Sun coming in the window..........sometimes a little photographic mistake makes for a great picture........

HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!

Here is a picture of 3 crocheted Easter Egg Pillows I just made my 3 kids. They thought these "Easter Eggs" were way cool..........

Here is another Crocheted Poncho I just finished for my little girl. I used 3 different types of yarn on this one. It's my own pattern. But I haven't had a chance to write it down yet. We call it :
VICTORIA'S Crocheted EASTER PONCHO, because of all the spring time colors remined her of Easter Eggs & Flowers.

Here are some pictures of another Crocheted Poncho that I just finished. There was no pattern for this one, I created it as I went along. The best I can discribe it is to say that it is a giant crochet granny square with a hole in the center for your head. I used several different type yarns to make it.The front top is decorated with hand sewn amber colored glass beads. It is very warm..........
