Nativity Set

By -

This is my very favorite crochet project. I made this set about 12 years ago, and it won my very first blue ribbon at the Middletown Grange Fair. I look forward to the holidays every year so that I can bring it out and display it. I hope to be able to make 2 more sets - one for each of my sons.

    This is the most creative crochet I have ever seen. They are absolutely beautiful.

    Did you follow a pattern for this or design them yourself?

    Beautiful job.

    Thanks for your kind words! The set was worked from a pattern from Annie's Attic called "The Birth of Christ".

    I was on line looking for a pattern to the nativity. I done a set for myself about 20 years ago, but I can't find my pattern anywhere. I saw yours and it looks so much like mine. Could you please tell me where to go to find it.

    Your nativity set is beautiful.

    The pattern is an out-of-print pattern from Annie's Attic. I would encourage you to contact Annie's Attic to ask them to re-issue the pattern. I have seen them reprint several older booklets recently. If they know there is a big demand for it, they may publish it again.

    Thank you for the compliments!

    The pattern is from Annie' Attic. It's called the Birth of Christ. Check Annie's Attic to see if they offer the patterns for free.

Fighting the Fight Again

I've been struggling again with depression. I've decided to try talk therapy in addition to medication. My days have been filled with tears and with an overwhelming sadness for many months now. I hope that the new medications and the therapy will make a big change in me. My singular joy in life has been visiting with my grandson. I haven't picked up a crochet hook in ages, with the exception of those chemo caps I promised to my sister in law. I finished them and sent them on their way. I will update this post with photos of the finished caps. Please forgive me for not posting on a regular basis. I do enjoy writing and miss blogging. Please keep me in your prayers, good friends.

Mystery Destination Was...

The Poconos! The surprise was blown (at least to my thinking) when I turned on the GPS to start out our trip. Up pops the address! Of course, it didn't tell DH where we were staying but it did tell him we were headed for East Stroudsburg PA! Dang! He was thinking we were headed for the Jersey shore. Then the GPS took us on a trip! I thought it would put us on the PA turnpike, taking the northeast extension. Wrong! It actually sent us up the NJ side of the Delaware River. So it was an adventure for both of us. We stayed at the Fernwood Hotel and Resort. I'd read excellent reviews and also some very bad reviews on the place. I was hesitant to book it, but it was the most reasonably priced lodging with availability on such short notice. There were restaurants on the grounds and lots to do in the resort and the surrounding area. We arrived at 10:00 pm on Friday to discover that the king accommodations we reserved in the hotel proper were not available, due to service ...
