I need more crochet time!

I haven't had much crochet time the last couple of weeks as I have been working day and night on website rush job that I am doing for a client. I am almost at the point where the site can go live and I am very happy about that, there will most likely be some minor alternations to make even after the site is online, but it won't have to be at such an insane pace.

On the crochet front -here's a Chicken Potholder that I made.

I am working on two mini Crinoline Girls Spring and Summer. Actually I have done all the crocheting on Spring, she is ready to be starched and the assembled. I am about halfway done on Summer.

I am also currently working on an amigurumi Tinkerbell for a wish for someone on one of the Yahoo crochet groups that I am a member of.

New blog for me

I am starting this new blog as I couldn't bring myself to post anything more on the my old blog
after the post about my son's passing. It just didn't feel right that I should put anything else there.
It is to remain with Guy's picture and what I wrote that last time. Nothing else will be added to it.
Some of my previous crochet projects are there, too.

After Guy was killed, when I couldn't do anything else. I could still crochet and my crochet, along with good friends and family has kept me from losing my mind during the worst time of my life.

I have wanting to learn how to crochet with thread. Tried once a couple of years ago and made a huge mess! But now I managed to make a Crinoline Girl in thread. She came out better than I expected she would. The only thing is that according to the pattern she should be 8" high. Well, I used the recommended size thread and hook and my Crinoline Girl is only 5 3/4" high. Not sure what happened there, but I am happy with the way she turned out.

This is the Tickled Pink Crinoline Girl.

Here are some other things that I have completed recently.

This is Freddie the Snowman and I made him for a swap.
