One is about the Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald Tennessee, and features one of my former students, Amanda Coleman Chanley, her work at the sanctuary. and links to all the fabulous information about the elephants and their new retirement home. You can view that one here:

What a thrill to be featured in a treasury, and when it happens three times in just a short time, it is doubly thrilling! This pretty pink poncho was featured in a treasury by Paperparaphernalia. Like a Soft Breeze expires Mon., March 3 at 3:45 p.m.


One of my favorite things from her shop is this pretty journal.

Oh, Wow!

I am thrilled to be the featured shop today on the Boomers and Beyond blogspot. It is such an honor to be a member of the BBest team (for people over 40, by the way), and to get to share about my Bags and More by Pam shop, along with other interesting tidbits. If you get a chance, stop by and leave a comment. Thanks to Janine, who has two shops....AltheaP and OneDogTalking, for the terrific blog post. A story about this particular sweater is part of the feature!

St. Patrick's Day Isn't Just for People!

Handsome Eddie is ready to celebrate the wearin' of the green along with Gorgeous Daisy! They are both wearing new hand-crocheted St. Patrick's Day collars, and don't they look fabulous! Was quite fun to finish these after a bout with bronchitis that resulted in not even picking up a crochet hook for five days! That has to be some kind of non-crocheting record for me! Better now, and off to finish two custom orders....a Cleveland Browns baby blanket, hat, and booties, and a cable design sweater in a woman's medium. And to connect with more friends on Facebook. What fun that is chatting with lots of former students, or as I prefer to call them, some of my "kids"!
