That is SO cool!! Chatty, you are so talented and so giving!

EW, you both look so happy, thanks for sharing.

Oh I love it, Edelweiss!!!! Your cuddle time looks so nice....and again, Chatty comes through!!!

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.

If my dog Kelly could speak, she'd be saying the same thing!

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 absolutely love that slide show! Chatty, you've done such a great job on these

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!

You forgot Diz! That's okay, I've been gone. She still sleeps with her pink blankie!

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.

If I can find the instructions that Hannelore gave me, I will do so! They are in my filing drawer somewhere.

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.

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.
