Old photos


I love to do genealogy research of my family and love the old family photos. My mom's family took lots of pictures. Here is my mom when she lived with her Aunt in Washingon DC. A friend took a photo for us a couple of years ago of the same steps so I put the photos side by side. Her picture was in the early 1940's on NW 16th Street.

Crochet edgings

Hi Alison, I just saw your request for a link to the site to find these edgings. I ended up using one that was not as wide. I made a roll to hold my crochet hooks. I had never added crochet edging to material so it was a learning experience. I would like to try an edging on pillow cases.

Fun project











I saw a cute pincushion online so I adapted it and made me one. Then I thought it would make a cute Christmas mouse ornament, so I changed it a little and came up with this. Here they are in various states of completion. I think they turned out kinda cute....
