My New ArtFire Shop

I just set up a new selling outlet on ArtFire.com.

My first item listed is another lap robe which was crocheted by my mother.  Click on the Rapid Cart on the side bar to view this listing.

Sunday Crafting

Today I spent the afternoon making this primitive sheep and listed it on Etsy for $19.99 with free shipping. I took the opportunity to sit outside on my lanai to work on the applique stitching. The temperature here in Florida finally got above the 60's. At one time today it actually reached 81 degrees, although it didn't last once the clouds took over.

I also listed another lap robe on Etsy which was hand crocheted by my mother.  She heads a church group who crochet lap robes and donate them to patients at Hope Hospice.  Church members are always donating yarn to her.  Some of the yarns are "Fun Fur" which she incorporated into these lap robes.  She felt they were too "fancy" to donate, so she asked me to list them on Etsy for her.  She has them listed at $40.00 each (shipping is $8.00).

DONATING TO A GOOD CAUSE

My mother Janet has been an inspiration in my life. She has always been involved in sewing, knitting, crocheting, and cross stitch. I learned most of my creative "talents" from her. She is still keeping her hands busy, using her talents to help others.

Today I decided to highlight my mother's latest project. She is the chairperson for a volunteer mission at her church, Jamaica Bay Worship Service in Fort Myers, FL. This group of approximately ten women in her community use their free time to crochet lap robes which are donated to terminally ill cancer patients at the local chapter of Hope Hospice.

All of the lap robes are made of knitting worsted weight yarn. The group is always accepting yarn donations. If you would like to donate yarn, please e-mail me at wildberryprimitives@yahoo.com.
