Moms and Babies and Crochet

Life is full of wonderfully special moments and if you aren't careful you may miss something.
This year is a vast change from last year at this time. I was in a very low place last year, My mom passed away on Christmas morning 2013. My mom was my best friend. So last year in Jan. I was in a bad time of my life, I couldn't imagine that anything would help to heal the pain of losing her. But, life moves on and I am able to get though most days without crying because I miss her. A new purpose has grown in me, I have a beautiful baby grand daughter that I get to spend 3 to 4 days a week caring for. My daughter works the night shift so when she sleeps after or before her shift I come over and spend the day caring for and having fun with Aubrey. I love doing this, it has such healing effect for me. 

So I got this wonderful custom order recently, my customer was looking for a scarf, hat and gloves set for her son made with 100% cotton yarn.  After some time of back and forth emails we were able to start. It took me about a week to make the whole set and I am pleased with how they came out. I finished the set and its been delivered to my customer. Here is a picture:
These were the first pair of gloves I have ever made, and I think they came out pretty darn good. I sure hope my customers son likes the set. 
I have been crocheting lately and here are some of the items that are finished and will be in my shop soon.

Here are a couple of crochet Neck Warmer I made
 
And here are a few pairs of fingerless gloves or wrist warmers



Well thats it for now.
Have a great day, Kathi
