| Starting in September 2008, each month I will be providing a square of the month pattern, FREE. These patterns are free to use or pass along, but they are not to be sold or submitted to any publication. I'll be making squares anywhere from 6" to 12". All patterns are my own, although duplication of other existing patterns is possible but never intentional! If any of my patterns replicate a pattern that has been copyrighted, please inform me immediately! I'll provide a picture on the News page, and a link to the pattern on a printer-friendly page. |
Joanne M. of CT donated 2 lapghans and 1 capelet. Jan from the Slippery Rock Baptist Church and her group donated 6 lapghans! |

| Charity News I will be accepting lapghans and capelets for the Cozee's Charity through November 1, 2008. That will give me plenty of time prior to the holiday season to prepare them for delivery to the recipients. If I'm given permission to take pictures, I'll be posting them on the Cozee's page. I will then start accepting donations January 1, 2009. |

| I found this handy online interactive color wheel! The wheel is designed for designing quilts, but it comes in handy for finding yarns that compliment/contrast. This is so cool! Color Wheel From the website: Quiltopia |

I just discovered that Red Heart brand yarn has just come out with eco-friendly recycled yarn! I've provided a link for those interested in using recycled materials to crochet and knit. I WILL be buying a skein of each: 1 cotton, 1 acrylic just to try them out. Here's the link! From the website Craft Stylish |
| Halloween Craft Project Decorate your front door or windows with this easy project. Choose your favorite Halloween symbol (pumpkin, witch, ghostly eyes, etc) from a pattern book, coloring book or off the internet. Tape the picture or pattern outside your window facing inside. Using window paints or craft acrylics paint the inside of your windows. Just follow the outlines of the picture you taped to the outside. When the paint is dry, remove your pattern. To have an eerie effect, paint the entire window black around the patterns. When you turn off the outside lights and leave an inside light on, the area's you didn't paint, will glow. Window paints and craft acrylic paints wash off easily. |

| I'm starting a new tradition this year for my family. I'm making ornaments for each lady of the house! I found this super simple miniature 6 pointed doily pattern and I'm choosing the beads in their favorite colors. The glass ornaments are 3" diameter which makes a real statement on the tree! I believe this style has been around for years but it's my first attempt at making one! |
