Well, I've been a little busy, but I finally found a good granny square tutorial, so I wanted to share that with all of you.

Here is a photo of my first try-- not too bad for a first shot, if I do say so myself.

Here is the link for the tutorial if you want to try it for yourself!

Happy crocheting!

Day 3

Today did not begin well. I woke up with a pounding headache and decided to crochet a pet toy while I waited for my husband to get up. Four hours later, he is still sleeping and I have a wadded ball of yarn that vaguely resembles a fish... but I was trying for a bird... I stuffed it with catnip anyway to see if my cats would at least play with it. Bart just looked at me, like, "Really, Mom? Seriously?" The rest of the day has followed suit...

Day 2

I have seen some positive responses from all of you on Facebook so I'm feeling pretty good about this endeavor. I think most people want to help out the animals in our community but think all they can do is adopt, and for whatever reason that is not an option for them. Donations to the Humane Society or volunteering are also very good ways to make a difference without leaving you with the responsibility of caring for an animal that you don't have the time or resources to care for. Even if all you do is post my blog to your website to inspire others, that still can make a difference! Every little bit counts. If you live in the Batesville area and would like to contribute or get involved in any other way look me up on Facebook or Twitter, or email me. Become a follower and help this blog grow! And as always, thanks for your support-- I will continue to post relevant news articles and information to let you know how you can get involved in our community.
