Well, lookie what I found!  The kiddos have been watching videos at school about internet safety, which led me to search up and delete all the websites and blogs I've created over the years (all 3 of them) and put information and pictures that probably shouldn't just be "out there."  But this blog is special!  It passed the test for not being too personal or giving too much info away!  Hmm... perhaps I'll even make some *real* entries someday soon!  You know... in ALL my spare time!  Ha!

[Moved from my "other" blog]

In an attempt (again) to organize and declutter my house, I have gathered papers with important notes that I don't want to get rid of, but don't have anywhere to put. So, I thought my worthless blog is as good a place as any other to store these notes. First, the directions for crocheting an 8-petal flower (I don't promise that my short-hand uses correct abbreviations, by any means).

1. G hook, chain 6, join
2. Ch. 1, 16 SC in loop, join
3. Ch. 3, 3 DC in same space, Ch. 3, SL ST in same space, SL ST over 2 spaces, continue for 8 petals around
4. Ch. 1, SC in same space, Ch. 5, Skip 2 petals, SC next SC, around 4x, SL ST in beginning SC
5. Ch. 4, 5 TC in loop, Ch. 4, SL ST in loop, repeat 2x in each loop, SL ST to next loop, continue around for 8 petals.
