My wife received a beautiful bunch of flowers from our daughter, Ciera. I had to share this beautiful picture with you.

Cooling our heels

Our sanctuary...
The umbrella pole is in the way, but the "stream" is a pondless waterfall in our backyard. I made this myself, and we love to sit in the backyard to listen and watch the water flow. It's truly relaxing.

San Diego County Fair Entries

I'm entering some of my crochet items in the San Diego County Fair again. Here's a slideshow of my entries:

Mary J Blige Bulky Crochet Cables Hat

I've finally finished the crochet pattern for the Mary J Blige Bulky Cables hat. It's available on My Lulu Store and My Etsy Store. Finished hats are also on Etsy.

Cotton Unisex Fedora

I've created a new hat! This one's a unisex fedora made from cotton yarn. The crown is made from two strands and the brim is three stands. The color is "Camel" with a black band.

Mary J Blige Reflections Hat (CrochetDad version)

I was inspired by the hat worn by Mary J. Blige on the cover of her "Reflections" album. Her hat was apparently knitted, but since I don't knit well, I decided to try one in crochet. This is the result, in cotton yarn.

My daughter, Cambria has claimed this one, but I've had requests for more. The pattern is in the works, which I'll hopefully be selling on Etsy and Lulu.

I forgot to pack a hat...

I forgot to pack a hat on a recent trip, so I crocheted one. I like this hat, so I'm working on the pattern to sell. Made with 2 strands of cotton yarn, it's very comfortable.
