 Funny Pooch Photo Bomb!

I had to post this next pic

 because it is so funny. 

We were trying to take some 

fun pictures and my pooches 

wanted to be be involved in the fun. 

It would appear the Maximo is

 "getting friendly" with me,

 and Rosie is giving him "The look"! 

We laughed so hard when

 we saw this picture.

I love having my creative daughter,
Elisabeth Spivey of 
Calleigh's Clips and Crochet Creations,
 here, visiting. 

We have so much fun together!!!

Crochet Graph Patterns Collection

These are graph patterns that I designed.

I wanted to learn how to stitch a crochet graph pattern.

And these are what I came up with.

I really enjoyed designing these

 graph crochet patterns

 and hope you do do.

And I discovered it is really

 quite simple and fun.

The Love Stamp was actually one of the first graph

 patterns I designed, so it is a little rough.

Then I did the Oklahoma and Colorado graphs.

And Of course the Dog Sweaters last.

1. Oklahoma Graph

2. Dog Paw Print Dog Sweater

3. Dog Bone Dog Sweater

4. Love Stamp Graph Pattern

5. Colorado Strong Graph Pattern

I have used the graphs to make pillows,

 blankets, jackets and  and all sorts of fun things.
