Today is my sister Carla's 35th Birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY and I hope it is a great one!

 

I wanted to share that I've been having a lot of fun with crochetville.org swaps and such. I did a purse/bag swap last month.  There is a picture of the bag I made in the photo album. It is 18 granny squares single crocheted together. I think it turned out quite nice. I would like to have one for myself, but I am kind of burned out on piecing it together. The purse I got in the swap is also posted. It is made from blue nylon cording. It is very nice.

 

I'm also doing a secret pal swap. I have gotten 3-4 electronic cards and a navy crocheted scarf from my secret pal. The picture is in my album to the right. 

 

I think I've sent some pretty cool stuff to my secret pal. I can't tell you just in case she happens to read my blog! The idea behind the secret pal swap is that you send gifts Feb 15-April 15. I have like 3 more packages to send out. I have to say that she is getting spoiled! There is a $25 limit and I've stayed right in that range.

 

On March 24, I am going with a friend to see The Prisoner of Second Avenue. http://www.center.iastate.edu/Events/Prisoner.asp I'm pretty excited to see this play. I'll post a review the next day.

 

April 19th is the day that our stitching group called "Olivia's Stitching Time" will begin. I am so anxious for this to start. I hope that we have a nice turn out and that everyone is as enthusiastic about it as I am. I already have my crochet project picked out that I want to start on that night. I'm thinking about a teddy bear that is wearing a dress/hat/panties.

 

Better go work on the baby afghan that is almost finished. I can post pics of that later!

 

Welcome to my space! I'm so excited to get this thing up and running. My name is Teresa and this is my Crochet Cafe! As you can see I have put a bunch of pics of my projects that I've made recently. I love to crochet. It is my favorite past time!

 

As a matter of fact, another gal and myself are starting up a stitching group that is going to meet Wednesday nights at our church. I am so hoping that it is a success. I'll let you know how it goes. Our first gathering is taking place April 19.

 

Right now I'm working on a baby afghan for my cousin who is expecting a baby in August. I'm not using the typical "baby" colors, but I think it is adorable. I'll post a picture of that when it is complete.

 

That's all for right now.
