<br />
I found some mistakes so I corrected them so I want to share the corrected pattern with you!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://brendasbric-a-brac.blogspot.com/search/label/purple%20heart%20snowflake">http://brendasbric-a-brac.blogspot.com/search/label/purple%20heart%20snowflake</a><br />
<br />
You will find the corrected version at the above site.<br />
<br />
But...I did notice I made an error with the purple version above. It wasn't in the pattern but somehow I added something extra. Can you see it? <br />
<br />
I'll tell you what it is after some of you find it!!<br />

<a href="http://zootyowlcards.blogspot.com/2014/10/happy-days-mandala.html">Zooty Owl's Crafty Blog</a><br />
Lots and lots of free, beautiful patterns! <br />

<a href="http://crochet-rockstar.blogspot.com/">Found a great idea for crocheting with more than one skein of yarn.</a><br />
Crochet Rockstar is a great blog that I have added to my Google+<br />
and here is one of her ideas!<br />

I was looking for some flowers for this hat I crocheted for an 18 inch doll. And mission accomplished! <br />
<br />
I will post pics when I finish the flowers that I chose. One that I found is <a href="http://zootyowlcards.blogspot.com/2014/06/hibiscus-bloom-pattern.html">Hibiscus Bloom: Pattern</a><br />
and another was from Crochet Rockstar found <a href="http://crochet-rockstar.blogspot.com/2013/09/primrose-blue-crochet-aplique.html">here</a>!<br />
<br />
The hat pattern is from <a href="http://thewhoot.com.au/whoot-news/crafty-corner/crochet-panama-hats">The Whoot's website</a>.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"> I made this cowl hat for a toddler but the only model I had is my niece who happens to have a small head. :) I am hoping the mom that bought this for her daughter will share a pic when she gives it to her daughter for her birthday.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It is a fun pattern to work with. I made several for the granddaughters' 18 inch dolls. The pattern is Baylie Bear Cowl, </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Designed by Heidi May. </span><br />

Coming soon, the pattern for this crocheted blouse to fit 18" dolls. I hope to have this pattern written and perfected by the end of the week.

Don't give up on me!! I'll be back! I have had a few bumps in the road but things are getting better!</h3>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h4>
<span style="font-size: large;">One of the great things that happened in the last month was one of our granddaughters stayed with us for awhile during her spring break and she has a couple 18" dolls that I crochet for. She decided she needed a gown for one of them. She tried to explain to me what she wanted and I knew I would never remember her ideas so I asked her to put it on paper for me. </span></h4>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">She designed the above gown and we found the colors of yarn we needed and I told her I would crochet it when she wasn't here. I didn't want to crochet while she was here. I wanted to spend as much quality time with her.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">MS Awareness Month</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">March is MS Awareness month!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Every year I say to myself this could be the year they find a cure for Multiple Sclerosis. I will never give up hope for family and friends with MS.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Those that follow my blog probably already know about my friend Catina. Catina was struck hard early in her life by this damn disease. She has lived in a nursing home for more than 5 years now.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TXHl2JIoX2g/UymIvEuXn6I/AAAAAAAABd4/H2CLL2DsPeU/s1600/Catina2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TXHl2JIoX2g/UymIvEuXn6I/AAAAAAAABd4/H2CLL2DsPeU/s1600/Catina2.JPG" /></a></div>
Her disease progressively gets worse. I met Catina at a NMSS self-help group that I lead. She and I had just recently been diagnosed when we started the group. She went from a bubbly, very positive and active young lady to someone who needs 24 hour a day care in a nursing home. She now is tube fed, doesn't talk, walk..... She makes it known in subtle ways that she understands what is going on around her. Sometimes she will answer a question with the slightest nod or shake of her head, she sometimes mouths the words of a song that she hears. She cries sometimes while I am visiting, it must be so frustrating to be forced into silence when you have so much to say and share! It is Catina and others like her that I pray for the cure for MS! <br />
<br />
But prayers haven't been enough so our MS SHG started a team of MS Walkers. If you would like to donate to help people like Catina you can go to my MSWalk page at <a href="http://main.nationalmssociety.org/site/TR/Walk/MIGWalkEvents?px=1798643&pg=personal&fr_id=23461">Brenda Johnson, Team ShiaWalkers</a>. Or if you want to donate in your own state you can go to http://www.nationalmssociety.org/ and search for a WalkMS or BikeMS closer to you! Just please donate so others like Catina have hope! thanks<br />

Another blogger that raises money for MS research is Snowcatcher and you can find her fundraising info <a href="http://www.snowcatcher.net/2014/01/snowflake-monday.html">here.</a> She offers a booklet with some of her unpublished snowflake patterns for anyone that donates to her or her husband's BikeMS. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just made my donation so I can receive her booklet and also to show my appreciation for what her and her husband do every year for those of us with MS. </div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But in this post I have decided to share some shamrocks with you for St. Patrick's Day so you have time to crochet some.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My mom's family came from Ireland 4 generations ago and 5 McQuiston brothers settled in Michigan...that's as far back in my family history that I can trace.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">On <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/brenda630/st-patrick-s-day/">my Pinterest</a> you can find some St. Patrick's Day ideas.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I crocheted some shamrocks this month for family and Listia using patterns and/or my own creation but I am terrible about not keeping track of which patterns I used or directions for my own. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I keep vowing I will do better but it always seems that I have too much to do with so little time. Do you know that time just flies by for senior citizens? Here's an article, </span><br />
<h1 style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
that supports what I feel. <a href="http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/cutting-edge-leadership/201004/why-time-goes-faster-you-get-older">Why Time Goes Faster as You Get Older</a></h1>

<br />
After giving away a few dozen snowflakes for Christmas gifts I just received a couple orders for a dozen each so busy with them this week.<br />
<br />
I have a few patterns that didn't print out a picture with them so for some insane reason I decided to crochet those today so I could take a pic and attach them to the patterns. Big mistake! They take longer without a visual because you can't just look and kind of know what they mean in the directions. Also, 1 pattern had a mistake at the very beginning of a round so had to tear the round out and start again and figure out for myself what was needed to start the round.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The first one I just fudged the last row just to get a snowflake out of it. Not happy with it but I will try again another time when I am not feeling so rushed. I forgot to take a pic of the messed up one but forgot. :(<br />

<br />
This is the website that it came from<br />
<a href="http://www.keyingredient.com/recipes/749035035/one-bowl-apple-cake/">http://www.keyingredient.com/recipes/749035035/one-bowl-apple-cake/</a><br />
<br />

I will be making it again. And mine didn't look like this, it was darker. I used some apples that I had peeled, sliced and frozen so that may have made the difference. Yummy!!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And after I finish a few crochet projects I have started I hope to make these pillows for one of my grandchildren. <br />
<br />
The site wouldn't allow copying the picture of the pillows but you can find them <a href="http://www.blog.oomanoot.com/partly-cloudy-crochet-pillows-for-kids-tutorial/#more-58" target="_blank">here.</a> Cutest clouds and sun to wake up to each morning.<br />

Here are some doll clothes that were under the tree for my 3 granddaughters. I made them without a pattern but haven't wrote any notes. Some are in my head still so maybe I can write them down. My problem now is that all the dolls went home with the girls so I don't have a model to try them on. </div>

<b>BBB's (that's me!) SnowFlake web searching</b></h2>
<br />
<h3>
One of my favorite blogs to visit at least 2 times a week is <a href="http://www.snowcatcher.net/2013/12/snowflake-monday_16.html" target="_blank">Snowcatcher</a>! And my favorite day of the week is Monday. Just when I think I am over the WWWOOOWWW.... factor with her designs she seems to sneak one in there and this past week was one of those designs that just makes me want to stop and do nothing else but this week's design. But it will wait until January because I have 6 eighteen inch dolls that are waiting to be clothed for the grandgirls' Christmas presents.</h3>

<br /></div>
And today <a href="http://www.tangledhappy.com/">http://www.tangledhappy.com/</a> has snowflakes to share.<br />
<br />
<img alt="free crochet pattern snowflake earrings" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oH9615B14sU/UrJl-mbB79I/AAAAAAAAG7g/6nqSo4YAEVw/s400/fIMG_1369_medium2.jpg" /><br />
<br />
February has a special day called "Make a SnowFlake Day"! This will be the first year for this special day so, watch for more patterns during that time. You can be assured that I will be bringing more info as that day gets closer. Maybe a new design, a vintage snowflake.... All snowflakes are special so we will just have to wait and see what February 6th brings for the first official Make a SnowFlake Day!<br />
<br />
And if you are on Pinterest join me in sharing snowflakes. <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/brenda630/snowflakes/" target="_blank">My pinterest board for snowflakes</a> has lots and lots of free patterns that I have collected over the last several years.<br />
<br />
Well, back to the dolls! Today I am crocheting hats and scarves for them. Maybe I will incorporate a snowflake or two into them.<br />
<br />

Still crocheting doll clothes! I have started writing down directions as I crochet to hopefully write some patterns after Christmas. Right now I am just in "get 'er done" mode. With 6 eighteen inch dolls to crochet for it is consuming most of my time. </h3>

A dress for one of our granddaughters' 18 inch dolls. All together now there are 5 dolls to dress.</div>

And a vest that I crocheted. Looks much better on the doll then off and laying on a bench. :)<br />

And this is a similar dress to the other pink one but some subtle differences. This is more of a jumper. </div>

This is a slouch hat I made for a friend. At this time it is on its way to California to be worn to a Christmas party. I can't wait to see it on my friend.<br />

You can win this <a href="http://interweave.upickem.net/engine/YourSubmission.aspx?contestid=111994" target="_blank">yarn butler</a> over at Great Holiday Giveaway at CrochetMe's site.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Or if you don't win it you might make your own. My husband made this one for me several years ago but its original use was a stand for some crocheted, lighted Christmas trees my mom and I made. My dad made the original stand for my Mom's crocheted trees and hubby copied that one. I will post pics of the tree when I get Christmas decorations out of attic.</h3>

<br />
But a couple years ago when I was having problems with my thread rolling all over the floor he made this one to hold the thread.<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
He used a 2" dowel and 3/4" plywood. I recommend you make the bottom plate a square instead of rectangle so it sets up better.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-m-LSqQoQ5EI/Upyj7bMW74I/AAAAAAAABQY/8IuJcLEiyFc/s1600/IMG_2952.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-m-LSqQoQ5EI/Upyj7bMW74I/AAAAAAAABQY/8IuJcLEiyFc/s320/IMG_2952.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
The thread doesn't roll all over the floor this way!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LVyM8q7s74k/UpykINay26I/AAAAAAAABQs/glQ_gk8L7Vg/s1600/IMG_2957.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LVyM8q7s74k/UpykINay26I/AAAAAAAABQs/glQ_gk8L7Vg/s320/IMG_2957.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And even the jumbo skeins of thread fit!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NtI3VXcPCJU/Upyjr9ZS9_I/AAAAAAAABP4/B-xCPLtLa_A/s1600/IMG_2951.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NtI3VXcPCJU/Upyjr9ZS9_I/AAAAAAAABP4/B-xCPLtLa_A/s320/IMG_2951.JPG" width="240" /></a>I use an empty paper towel roll to wrap bulky yarn around rather that fighting the tangle and knots that can result from trying to pull from center of skein and/or the outside of skein.<br />
<br />
I sometimes use it for 3 ply and 4 ply also.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WPfvAf-nMcI/UpykHM4qIiI/AAAAAAAABQo/uR5Vb5-bED4/s1600/IMG_2956.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WPfvAf-nMcI/UpykHM4qIiI/AAAAAAAABQo/uR5Vb5-bED4/s320/IMG_2956.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
It also works for Red Heart Sashay for the ruffled scarves. I wrap the thread around either a toilet paper empty roll or paper towel empty roll. I stretch the Sashay yarn width wise so it is already to crochet into rather than having to stretch every few seconds.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Happy Thanksgiving!</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My family is traveling to our home today for Thanksgiving dinner. I pray for a safe trip for everyone!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
We are having a very nontraditional meal of steak and baked potatoes by request from our youngest son.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
But Saturday we will have a traditional dinner with our oldest son and his family because he will have his daughter for the weekend.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
I am thankful for my family and love them all so much!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
And the only "Thanksgiving" picture I have to share is the dress I made for one of my granddaughters' dolls! </span><br />
