This is Erin with Susan K., her mentor at the NHS function the other night. Erin as a senior member picked someone to honor. It was a wonderful ceremony. It was sweet and tearful. Hearing the stories of the young men and womens mentors was very moving. There was also an induction ceremony for the newly elected members.

Walk-A-Thon Ladies

Here we are on Walk-Thon-Day. L to R: ABA, Erin & Me. It was a 2 mile walk. But we walked there and back and wound up walking 6 miles total. It was fun. :D

New Blog

I decided to start another blog this time about genetic engineering. Rather than post about it here I thought it would be better to keep it separate as it's something I'm very passionate about. I could go on and on about it! If you're interested in learning more about what's being done to our food supply simply click on the link to the left, "The Dangers of Genetic Engineering". Be careful what you eat today to preserve your health for tomorrow. I'm working on "My Story" to explain to you why I feel so strongly about what's happening and how it has affected my health.

This is one of my favortie cartoons.

Here is an ornament I made from Haas Designs. I love his patterns. This was made with size 30 thread that was given to me by a dear friend. (Hi Lisa!) :D The edging is made with 2 strands of gold sewing thread crocheted together. I changed the edging just a bit from the pattern to suit myself. ;D I used a size 11 steel hook.

They also have some wonderful free patterns here.

Here is a doily I recently finished called Treasured Bouquet. It wasn't hard to make but took a while because of all the motifs. And with the color changes there were a lot of ends to weave in. Still, I like it. It's made with cream, peach & green thread. Size 7 hook. It's 10 1/2". This would be very pretty continuing to make motifs around for a round table.

This is for all of my Jersey peeps.
