March is MS Awareness Month!

Catina is a friend of mine.  We met at the MS Self-help Group that I have been lucky enough to belong to and serve as the leader for about the past 10 years.  She is our youngest member.  I now struggle with that last sentence.

You see Catina is now in a "nursing home".  She has been there for about 3 years and no longer is able to walk, talk, eat (except through a permanent tube in her stomach). So, she doesn't attend our meeting but I try to keep her in other's thoughts too so she is not forgotten.  I have come to love Catina more and more!  She was always our most positive member.  She never complained about what life had dealt her at such a young age.  

When Catina first joined our group she was one of the most positive person I have ever known!  Always had a smile and never a bad word to say about anyone or anything!  

Somehow I know she still has a very positive attitude but it is impossible for her to convey that attitude trapped within her body like it is.  

So, for people like Catina I ask you to donate when asked by family or friends.  Somewhere, around one of these corners, there is a cure but research is not cheap!

Thanks for listening!  And if you don't know anyone walking, riding, hanging out in the mud to raise money I would love to take your money. ;-)

This is my my participant page where you can donate  for a cure for Multiple Sclerosis.  thanks

March is Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month

March is MS Awareness Month

And I will be adding some info on here real soon but in the meantime if you want to read some information from a very reliable source I recommend going to National MS home page

 You may go to my WalkMS page and donate or sign up for an MS Walk!  Thank you!

And also March is Crochet Month!

I found the free pattern for these two!  It is Alice and the White Rabbit
 here at Crochet Kitten's blog.

I designed the skirt for Miss Victoria but the blouse comes from  a  free pattern at Crochetville

Another paying it forward gift to be mailed out.

My friend, Beth, and the first crochet item she ever crocheted.  She is now learning to do different stitches and how to read patterns.

And this is my living room this morning.  Crochet has taken it over!!  And the newspapers are piling up while I just crochet away!!  What have you been doing to start March is Crochet month?

Afghan in progress

this tangled looking "mess" is actually a couple scarves-
the long thin kind that are more for styling than for warmth!

This has not been on my hook, but it will be!

Mikey, Crochet Crowd, has challenged us to an Easter tree challenge using this Free pattern for our tree that we will decorate if we plan to join in. Diva Dan has decorated one of their trees for Easter and here are some Christmas trees pics from fans when they did the Christmas tree challenge.
