In my third chapter of life, God has given me a new song to sing, one that includes healing of hard memories, reconnecting with family, hiking in the mountains, and rediscovering a craft I loved as a teenager: crocheting. I now create these crocheted items with gratitude to God for this delightful, surprising third chapter.

Crocheted, stuffed pumpkins (4 to 5 inches in diameter). Colors include: pink, brown, orange, and white and stripes. Pumpkin coasters in various shades of orange.

My husband named each one of these creations so each one is a true original! It all started with some extra buttons and some leftover yarn. They are about 8 to 9 inches tall.

Celebrate Colorado’s 150th birthday with these fuzzy 12′ by 16″ pillows. Great for lumbar support.
