    Those are adorable. After I had surgery I couldn't sit up long to do anything so I read. I have been a reader all my life and would probably lose what little is left of my mind if I couldn't do that. I always reach the limit of how many books I can check out at a time .. lol Thank goodness for libraries. I do have a grandmother's flower garden I have been working on for years. I take it to the hospital with me to sew the fabric to the papers. I have all the papers cut and pieces of fabric the right size. I get bored with tv easily.

    I wish I had your talent. I am able to do a lot of crafty things, however painting has always been my desire but have never been able to do it. GOD Bless

    your hats are very cute- but i have a question....if you can sit & crochet, why can you not sit & sew? there are lots of hand piecing projects that are fun, easy and would fill that (void)...english paper piecing or cathedral windows are both projects that are easy to do...
    just wondering- what the difference is in your (limitations) that is keeping you from being able to quilt/sew?
    great hat's though- & a great reason for making them

    Due to my injuries from a fall, I can move my arms from my elbow to my hands but not from my shoulder to my elbow. My right shoulder surgery has failed leaving my right arm unable to move very far from my side and my left arm is in what they call an immobilizer and attached to my body with a brace. I sit with my left wrist secured to my body and my right arm bent at the elbow to crochet. Thanks for the question. I sent you a PM explaining this further, Thanks

    Those are so sweet. I know my DIL would love the non-traditional colors more than the pastels for her new baby so go for it!

    I have friends that do that also. My craft class of elderly ladies crochet doggie and kittie blankies for the humane society and they go home with the pets. so far have done over 300. They are square to fit the cages

    Cute hats and the colors are great. I think babies like bright things. What a great gift for new babies!
