Hi, Sweet Friends!
Boudoir Bonnet Crocheted and photo by CJD.Sign
This project has been on my mind for years now and I finally found the perfect pattern for a crocheted night cap. This Boudoir Bonnet is a combination of chain stitches, single crochet stitches, double crochet stitches, and love knots.
This pattern is intermediate difficulty.

Crochet Lace Craze!
Hi, Sweet Friends!
As my crocheting seems to be advancing, so are my desires to make gorgeous laces. I love lace. I have loved lace since I was a little girl. My Grandmother had a whole box of lace! I would sit at her feet when she would crochet. I enjoyed every stitch as if she were stitching a melody.
My Grandmother taught me to crochet when I was 7 and it was so difficult. I picked it up…

Happy Veteran’s Day
Hi, Sweet Friends!
Today we honor all those who have served in the Armed Forces of the United States of America!
Being a “military brat”, I grew up with the honor of my father serving 20+ years in the US Air Force, and 9 years in the Marines with my first ex. My maternal grandfather served in the US Navy at the end of WWII, and my maternal grandmother served as a military secretary. My uncle…

When I’m An Old Lady… Poem
When I’m an old lady, I’ll live with each kid,And bring so much happiness just as they did.I want to pay back all the joy they’ve provided.Returning each deed!
