I have been working on a new craft - crocheting.  It started by me wanting to make a tea cozy for Jeff.  I went into my closet and found a stash of old Crochet needles, and instructions that my mother gave me several years ago that I tucked away.  Anyway, Jeff wanted a tea cozy for his tiny tea pot which he uses daily.  I started with the books, and went stitch by stitch trying to capture as much information on the stitches and train my hands as best as I could.  I made a few attempts at trying to read a pattern, and felt paralyzed by the hieroglyphics in them.  I decided to try to create a tea cozy without a pattern, and made about 3.  Looking back, they were awful, but a good start.  With our trip to Montana coming up, I called upon the help of Joan, and she helped me learn to read the pattern, and crochet the tea cozy.  Thank you Joan!!!  I could not have gotten as far as I have without your help.

So, fast-forwarding, I have made several cozies, based on the same pattern.  I have given some away - to my sister, and her mother-in-law, my mother, and made several for myself and Jeff. 

I have now made several dish cloths, and a doll that I saw on the Internet, and attempted to make. 

Here are my some of my cozies:

Here is my doll attempt. 

Here is one of my favorite crochet site on the Internet.

Anyway, I plan to find other projects to do, since there are only so many tea cozies you can make!!!!!  If you have any ideas for me to try, let me know :)
