Paula's and Friends Crochet

I have only been crocheting just over a year. My good friend, next door Mamie has taken alot of time to show me how. Thank you, again, Mamie. Have met some new friends too. Several people has ask about what we crochet so thought I would blog to add what we've been working on and finished. Mamie sells alot, at great prices. I am still so slow, I really am not up to speed of having any big time production... If you are interested, you can still ask me. I have plenty of contacts.

"LAZY DAYS" AFGHAN

Is was one of my first Granny Square Afghans

It is made of Lion Brand Mohair.

I found the pattern on the internet.

It isn't like the traditional Granny Square,

this was easier for me where I was a beginner.

{ I still am :) }

The squares went together pretty good too.
I gave this to my Favorite Auntie "E"

About Me

Name: Paula

Location: Indianapolis, Indiana, United States

I am a pretty simple country gal in a big city... I love Indianapolis, tho, I believe my heart belongs to the country life. I returned to my homestate of Indiana, in April of 2001. I purchased a 1890 home, in a quaint little neighborhood that has been coming back and fell in love with it. It definately needed alot of attention. I have lived in IN, FL, LA & Germany... I have been grateful for the wonderful experiances... No place like home. I come from a large family, and they are very important to me. Both of my parents are from Indiana, my roots & values have been definately passed down. My son and his wife and 3 beautiful adoring children are "THE APPLE OF MY EYE!" (I am O'ma.) This was the hardest part of moving back home. They do understand why I came back... and we do make the extra effort to keep our relationship strong. My parents had raised and showed livestock, cats & dogs for many years. I took part in the show dogs when I was very young... I guess that is why when ever I have found a stray or abandoned baby I have always been willing to give it a good home and be a part of the family.
