Tunisian Crochet Afghan


Hello friends! 
 I can't believe Autumn will be here so soon... it's already
starting to get rainy again. Soon the leaves will change their colors
and fall to the ground... such a lovely sight... and a good time to
start working on a new afghan! I started this rather sturdy and
dense crochet work to use up some bits and pieces of left over 
yarn from previous projects. As I was happily crocheting, I noticed
that the blues didn't match! Oh well, I just figured this out after 
many rows of crocheting and didn't want to unwind it all...so I 
am just continuing on with the project, I'm not too sure how it
will turn out, but it will be warm and heavy! Next time I will definitely
use a softer yarn when I use this stitch. Hopefully it will soften up
once I wash it! It's not too terribly bad, I suppose... lol.




Have a wonderful Saturday!! 
Debra

Forever Man - A Poetry Video

This is a new poem I wrote this morning... I've been
putting the video together and didn't quite have a poem
that fit it... I decided to write a new one and found the
perfect music (mood) to accompany the visuals. 
I hope you enjoy, "Forever Man"

Crochet Frenzy


I've been on a "crochet frenzy" for the past 2 weeks. 
I made a few bags (shopping and /or small handbags)
 and cotton dish rags, as you can see here. I will have to 
get my Etsy Shop up again sometime after I make some
more new items to list. I think some sewing projects
are in order soon... :) Any ideas? 



iPhone Art

I've been working with some of my phone art, getting 
some ideas for creating much more.... I hope you like them! 
Here are a few samples...

Home Made Big Hunk Candy or "Little Hunks"

I apologize for the long delay in posting... I have
a lot to catch up on... in cooking, baking, crafting,
crochet and more... enjoy! 

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

|Big Hunk candy bars or so yummy and being from 
California, were a favorite treat since my childhood.
To my dismay, they are not sold here in Alberta
and many people have no idea what 
they are or what they are missing!
I have such a sweet tooth but try not to make too
many treats, as they are too resisting to me!! LOL

I haven't had a Big Hunk since I was last in 
California, back in 2006. So of course, I had
a craving for one...after looking on the internet
for a "copy cat" recipe...I found one!! I 
decided to give it a try and was very pleased
to finally satisfy my craving! These are so yummy!
Next time I will chill the candy before slicing into
pieces and wrapping in wax paper... they are 
too sticky otherwise and are a trouble to unwrap
without the paper sticking to them. 

The Big Hunk candy bar is sold in a large and
long piece wrapped in a non stick wrapper... 
thus the name... I decided to make them into
bite size pieces... mmmmm good! :)
