Remember this?

I finished it last spring and was going to give it away,

but  never got around to it.

Instead I donated it to a fund raiser silent auction being held this weekend for my friend Jody.

She has stage 4 brain cancer and not much time left :(

Its so sad, she is such a sweet person. Her daughter and my youngest have been friends since grade school.

They play saxophone in the band together and team up for hand bell duets.

I am hoping it gets some bids, I don't think people really appreciate how much time goes into an afghan. I think the colors are rich and cozy for fall. And its 100% acrylic yarn so it will take a beating and last forever.  


Update:  I didn't get to the benefit, but my daughter did. She said it had a bid of $25. I was hoping for more. (the yarn cost more than that) But it was for a good cause and hopefully  someone will stay warm with it this winter !

for Mitzi

I made this little throw for the back seat of the new truck.

Now Mitzi can go along and not get her dog stinko on the seat.

Although it hasn't quite made it to the truck.

Scott's been using it :)

I got the John Deere flannel from etsy and the palid backing fabric and binding was some from my stash.

They aren't the best match. Ok, they don't match at all. But the dog doesn't care :o)
