I have to smile the biggest smile at that sweet little angels happy face, she is actually posing and so adorable, Grandma too! Thanks so much for the beautiful pictures Angelika...I hope the colors were close to what you wanted and am so grateful that custom officials didn't mess them up when searching through the box...

I looked again and noticed the words at the top of your pictures and they made me tear up. I wonder who gets more pleasure with these creations of mine, me, or the recipients? I adore being her Aunty Chatty, thank you...

I got an email from Edelweiss early this morning at 3:12 a.m. and she stated that Anaiya, her grandbaby, took her afghan to bed with her tonight and the last words she said as she snuggled with it and fell asleep were, "my afghan." Now it doesn't get much better than that ladies...I am on cloud nine.

Chatty you are filling the world with love. Your afghans are simply beautiful. EW and granddaughter are happily enjoying your creations.

You know, my twin sister crochets ripple afghans for family members and close friends. She fills them with happy thoughts while corcheting. She has had so many tell her that they know it's filled with her love because they feel it.

So I know how you are filling the world with love, girl!

I so enjoy sreading the love sewn into easy stitch. I can't even remember how many are out there in the world now. I have to make a list. If you have an afghan made by me, add your name to this list:

JJ
Chickadee
Dotsie (2)
Kelly Bregal
Dancer (4 so far)
Mountain Ash
Edelweiss
Baby Anaiya
Diamond
Lola (2)

Was going yarn shopping today until I stuck my head out the back door where the thermometer read: 104* and that was at 10:30 a.m..... So back inside I went, will go late tonight when and 'IF' it cools down some. I hate this heat!

Chatty do you have a portfolio of all the afghans and items you've made? My sister and I keep pictures of all our craft and handwork items and put them into a portfolio or photo book. It's a nice feeling to be able to look back at them for our memories of those we created them for.

Your afghans are so beautiful. You can tell from the pictures that you create them with love.

Nope, Sandpiper, I never saved any pictures of them. the only pictures have been posted on this forum. I am such a dope but never thought it would turn into the demand it has. I was just making them for fun, now they even have me making Ponchos. I wll save pictures of all the ones I have here however, JJ is also talking about making me a slide show website or something but we have to find the time needed to talk about it. Thanks, I'm so glad you like them. I have a half dozen of really beautiful, soft, babygans packaged up for sale eventually too. Plus a red, white and green, Christmas color lapghan if anyone needs one for a gift.

Oh Chatty dear! You are a special! I admire you, friend! I love to crochet but haven't enjoyed it for a few years now! I used to crochet baby blankets and sweaters, doilies and any gift I could think about. At times, I'd come up with my own designs too!

So I know the work involved and all the love!
I never made one for me, thou! Maybe someday I'll stop and crochet again! It was so relaxing and enjoyable!

Your right Dianne, I'm so sorry, I did forget adorable Diz. I wish you would post a picture of her here with her blankie. It is one of the prettiest ones I have made... I'm happy she still likes it.

EW, you need to enter that photo from the slideshow in a contest. The one that says, and we love you! I think it's the last one where you are both wrapped in your comfy blankies.

Add Dennis' name to that list, too.

Chatty's lapghan for him arrived today. (Picture, soon) Dennis grinned big and was trying, once again, who Chatty is and why she was sending him this present.

Then I read the note she sent along.

Quote:

I make them filled with love. I love Anno, she is my sister boomer, and she loves you so much, I love you, too.


Dennis had tears in his eyes.

Thank you Chatty for having so much love in you and for your willingness to share all that love with so many of us. We love you, too.

Chatty, I was thinking today as I was making a candy corn wreath...wouldn't it be nice to make an afghan with those 3 colours. Very Fall like. It would even make a great Halloween costume for a little kid. Love the avatar.

Oh yes Chick, those colors would make an exciting and beautiful afghan. I made one with similar colors just recently for Dancing Dolphin, she said she will post it here when time allows. The candy corn wreaths sound scrumptous...

Not quite finished yet, needs more sticks...I just gather them from the yard and recycle them. The first thing I should have done was duct tape my mouth.

Either chick needs to give her wreaths to DD, or DD needs to give her afghan to chick!

Or maybe chick needs to order a matching afghan from chatty...

chick, the wreaths are precious. Do you put them outside? I once caught a squirrel on our door nibbling the apple on our wreath. I'm sure they'd go for the candy.

Those wreaths look so neat and I bet they take a lot of time to create and patience too. Do you sell them or use them just at your house? YOu have to admit, trhey do go good with that color aqfghan. Funny story it started out to be a scarf for dancer but didn't quite make it. Not a round afghan now but a rectangular one. Looks great! Perfect color scheme for Dolphins new home decor too.
