Happy Hooker

I'm a happy hooker.

I have been hooking for over two years now and sometimes I wonder if it's an addiction lol.

For all those yarn lovers out there, you know what I mean! For everyone else, I hope you took a hint from the picture as to what I'm referring to...

I love crocheting my little stuffies. They are so soft and cuddly and squishy!!!!! They make great gifts and are just too cute to resist. My little "Octo"-friend is my latest little addition. I saw a few sea creatures and jellyfish and just had to make my own design. His curly legs are just so fun. Before that were my double pink bears, I love the variegated blanket yarn with the solid pink and white limbs. I sorta wing it with the first one, which means a lot of trying out different techniques...there's probably an easier way to design crochet patterns but I'm a visual person who apparently needs to see and feel them. At some point I should probably write a pattern down properly instead of using my scribbled notes, but I just keep finding more to make!
I had a sad moment...I started making another "octo" friend and ran out of purple after only doing 3 tentacles! It was quite a let down when everything else was finished!  And I still haven't replenished it :(
On that note, I'm going to go find some yarn to crochet something!
From the NorMel house, where things are anything but normal, hook on! And
good night!

My dear child

I see your perfect little lips Your tiny fingers And ten tiny toes I'm amazed everytime I think of you I see your tiny nails and sweet little nose I wonder who you'd be Who would you look like Would you look like me? Maybe you'd have your daddy's smarts Or my creative side I want so much to know you, love My soul, it weeps inside Everytime I think of you I think of all we'll miss And I long to hold you one more time To give you one last kiss.           Melynda Hoeksema

#Angelbabies #Mothersday

Today I made a little white Angel Baby Sack. Because there are all kinds of mothers. Good moms (like mine), bad moms, moms of moms, moms that have their arms full and moms that have emptyarms. This little white bedding is made in case a mom has to lay their little one to rest. Today I mourned the loss of so many more than my own little babies. I thought and prayed for the mother's who said good bye to their children before they were ready.  The little blue bed was for another little boy who was laid to rest this past week. We're never ready to lose our children. We're never ready to lose our moms either. I thought and prayed for those who lost their moms today too. But I don't know what that feels like. I do know what it feels like to bear a child, hold that child in your hands and then have to lay that child in the ground. And although I can't say or do anything to take away the incredible hurt that causes I can try provide something soft and beautiful to la
