This past week’s #crochet square: Christmas Tree. I eBay’d me an aluminum Christmas tree in the early 2000’s. In honor of that tree that I’ll put up tonight, my square…

This week’s #crochet square: Sidney’s Blanket. I always crochet a new blanket for my dogs. Here’s Sid’s Blanket for my little ray of sunshine.

This week’s #crochet square: Sidney. We went to the Humane Society and picked up the oldest pup there. Sidney is 13 yrs old, blind and deaf, weighing in at 7 lbs. So the square is black & gold (Sidney), red for the pain he’s suffered, blue for surrounding love we give that good little boy.

This week’s #crochet square: Last of the Fall Leaves & Rain. I think this reflects the sadness of losing my little Ricky. The house is so quiet.

Forgot the most important part of the red scarf I’m weaving…the weft is wool yarn from the Faroe Islands, the warp is 8/4 Maurice Broussard yarn. Yes, experimenting!

Halloween tonight!

Completed 7 rows…yea! The gray squares at the top are the weeks before I began. Very colorful despite the gray. Only 2 more rows and 4 corners to go.

This week’s #crochet square: Ricky. I’ve put away his toys, blankets, food and water bowls. Still waiting to hear his tippy-tappy as he comes down the hall.

This square was so hard to do, but it looks how I feel this week.

Ricky’s Song

Mr. Cowdoggie,
we ride the range,
we sing LaGrange (how how how), people think we’re strange.

Mr. Cowdoggie,
you’re the one for me,
my sweet Puppy,
little RickyBobby.

Ricky at Mount Rainier. Sweet boy.

Goodnight, my Ricky.

My darling 19-yr old pup, RickyBobby, is nearing his end. Breaks my heart. He’s the last of the “three musketeers”. Because of my age, Sweet Ricky will be my last dog. Huge emptiness for me, but he’ll be reunited w/Lucy & Sammy. & one day, I‘ll see them all again & will receive all the dog smooches.

This week’s #crochet square: No Kings. Plan on attending the No Kings rally tomorrow. Look forward to being around like-minded people!

This week’s #crochet square: Donuts Not Deployment, a square for peace in Portland should troops/National Guard invade. Working on my lettering and the 3-D donut looks good enough to eat.

This week’s #crochet square: Fall Leaf. Outside my living room window, I’ve been watching the leaves on the tree turn orange and yellow. Love this time of the year.

Finished #weaving my birthday scarf. The details are a little lost in this photo, but I like it. Played around with twisted fringe.

Coming up on the end of #weaving my birthday scarf. The yarn is “Velvet” from Bad Sheep Yarn and is 75/20/5% SW Merino/Nylon/Stellina. I just love this color. A joy to weave!

This week’s #crochet square: Chrysanthemum. The last of the flowers before fall. The flower pattern, Janie Crow; the background, mine.

This week’s #crochet square: Free Speech. Seems more important than ever to exercise our First Amendment rights and stand up to presidential tyranny.

This week’s #crochet square: Whale Watching. Stayed overnight at Port Angeles for my birthday. Read it was a good place for whale watching. This is my version of Narwhal School from excellent book, The Hooktionary. I had to start over 8 times & it’s a little bumpy, but I declared it done. Happy 73!

Every birthday I #weave a scarf. Nothing fancy, mostly plain weave. This year “Velvet,” 2 skeins from Bad Sheep Yarn (one plain, one with sparkle).

Honey got me a set of purple Streamlined Furls for my birthday. Yes, I’m in Crochet Heaven!
