I remember I saved red ones for the Christmas distribution so I think these are different photos from what I posted already. I will continue to look for any I might have missed. I took photos of them in different ways to see them better. Once more, thanks to the three ladies, quilting friends of Kathy who donated yarn for me to complete the project.Pauliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07238035135763518472noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043691903438445869.post-1176692070742505312013-01-28T18:34:00.000-08:002013-01-28T18:34:02.415-08:00Another note:I have been searching through my photo chips for the rest of the neck scarves I made. Been unsuccessful so far. I know I took photos so until I find the rest, I will not blog again. SIGH I owe it to my contributors to show them all the scarves, not just a few as I have so far. Once found, I can then feel comfortable blogging again on a regular basis. (I still don't have the problems fixed for those who visit. I am sorry! Maybe I am just too old to learn what to do. I am not giving up just yet tho as I need to show the remaining neck scarves photos in thanks to those who helped me procure yarn for them. Please bear with me. . . thanks!<br />

Yes, this fellow resident had access to a little garden and brought me many red mini tomatoes AND some yellow pear shaped ones too! They were sooooooooooooooooo good that I told him I would make him a neck scarf (which he had admired when I was making for my project). I told him if he bought the yarn, I would make him a scarf and I got to keep the leftover yarn for my project. He readily concurred. I would never have thought of putting purple with black. . . but that was his choice.<br />
<br />
I am still looking for the rest of the photos of my scarf project I did for the give a way. . . hope to share them soon.Pauliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07238035135763518472noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043691903438445869.post-1313534633731046902013-01-17T00:30:00.000-08:002013-01-17T00:30:01.280-08:00Latest one made for friend. . . <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My friend couldn't decide which color she wanted for a scarf but said black or white so I made her a zebra one -- the middle strip was done with both colors crocheted together.and is probably warmer. She loved it! I bought the yarn after church one Sunday afternoon I finished it that same night! It is the first one I made sicne my project and I found that I don't hate doing it. I may do the project again but not make quite so many this time as I want to do other things too.<br />
<br />
I have to find my photo card for the rest of the scarves I made for "the project." I am trying to find them. . . will soon, I hope. I am still trying to get my blog straightened out also. . . THEN I will visit other blogs I enjoy again on a regular basis.Pauliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07238035135763518472noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043691903438445869.post-52360051059363410862013-01-16T00:31:00.001-08:002013-01-16T00:31:18.963-08:00More scarves bring smiles to my heart . . . and warmth elsewhere.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I like to spread the scarfs out so they can be seen better and haven't decided just which is best -- over a dark "plastic" couch in the mail room or over a large table in the former dining room . . . so you get some of both.<br />

WITHOUT the yarn donations of several of Kathy's quilting friends from Washington and Idaho, I would have had to pay for all the yarn myself. These wonderful ladies sent me several boxes of beautiful yearn to make the scarves. THANK YOU!</div>

Don't faint. . . I am finally back! This is just a test to make sure I can post since I changed Internet Providers a year ago and then went back to my old one. If this works, I am in business, thanks to a lot of help from Kathy.<br />
<br />
I missed blogging but made a choice to put my scarf project first so just read a few blogs and didn't post. My first order of business is to thank Kathy and her quilting friends who sent me some yarnto add to what I had and bought in order to accomplish my goal for my<b> SCARF project</b> for this past Thanksgiving and Christmas give a ways. I made 212 scarfs in 11 months but gave two away to special friends, gave 10 away for a different friends project to help families of men in prison and the rest went to the restaurant that provided a free meal on both holidays to anyone who showed up. <br />
<br />
I will try to locate some photos of the scarfs and post them next.<br />
<br />
I sure have missed blogging and hope to get back into it on a regular basis again. I hope all my internet friends will return. I hope to visit blogs soon.<br />
<br />

They had a contest of high school students art projects and we got to vote for them. I had 4 other art places to visit so didn't stay for the results. This one was made like a staircase with the evolution of a tree. . . I like how it progresses from an acorn to a small plant to a small tree and then a full grown tree stump. Step by step!</div>

An artist named Ron Jones got me interested in doing the First Friday Art Walk. This is one of his pieces. It took him over 400 hours to draw it he told me Friday night . . . the drawing is so detailed -- click on it to see it better. (Sorry about the light reflections my camera caught photographing it.). He came to our apartment building almost 4 years ago and showed us some of his his work and how he did it after friend (who has since passed on) and I visited his art gallery on our first, First Friday Art Walk. </div>

I forgot to re-charge my camera battery or take an extra one so my camera died on me before I got to the last three galleries but the above should show you a sampling of the art we try to appreciate here in Vancouver.

Our town appreciates art forms of a variety of kinds. . . and tonight, I saw these umbrellas placed on a corner downtown as art. Very appropriate, even tho it almost looks like the sky is a shade of blue with some white fluffy clouds at the time. Actually, the umbrella wasn't needed for the first time today in a very long time. . . but the RAIN is returning for Easter. Some egg hunts cancelled because of the sogginess of grassy areas from recent rains/downpours.<br />
<br />
Earlier Friday, the sky looked ominous andI thought I saw a tornado appearing but the news never mentioned it so maybe it was just a bad rainstorm in the north of our county. . .<br />

I guess we were lucky and missed a bad storm or a tornado here. <br />

That was wonderful since the first Friday Art Walk was tonight and it was very pleasant temperatures with NO RAIN. Tomorrow, I will show you some artwork I enjoyed before my camera battery wore out . . . SIGH<br />

YES, I give this Spring snowfall an A for achieving the record of snow in Spring in Vancouver! Give yourself an "A" IF you saw these things as I did. . . or if you saw something I missed -- I would love to hear about it. Isn't it wonderful how the wind can break little boughs of trees off and they get covered with snow and become something else wonderful, not just a useless broken branch!</div>

He saw me crocheting and asked if I would make him one in these colors WHEN I HAD TIME! lol One has to make time. . . but I took a break from my other project and made this one for him a week after the request.<br />

The HOUGH Elementary School is just 5 blocks from where I live and each year near St. Patrick's Day, they sponsor a parade that goes right past our apartment building. It is in honor of Paddy Hough, a great teacher and one of our founding fathers in Vancouver. YUP! That's Paddy Hough himself!</div>

Ok, I am getting ahead of myself. . . every parade has to have a banner. . . and here it is! There is a traffic circle on our corner so the parade has to veer to the left until they get around it but we don't mind.

My friend, Kathy's husband is one of those who goes to the VA in Portland for Cancer treatments. She started crocheting some neck scarves to give to those who she saw when she took her husband in for his treatment. I asked if I could make some to help her, using my hairpin lace crochet method. These are what I came up with. The two short ones are for those who might not think it cool to wear a longer neck scarf but they will keep their neck warm anyway. I made them with what red, white and blue yarn I had and buying only two more skeins. </div>

Now I have another project I started the day after Christmas. I am making 300 neck scarves to give away on Thanksgiving to people in need that attend a free meal put on by a local restaurant -- they also give out hats and gloves but no neck scarves. So far, I have made 33 neck scarves towards my total of 300 -- that's just 267 more to go in just over nine months. I hope I can do it! Most is from scrap yarn I had or that people gave me or that I bought with the 100 dollars that friends gave me for Christmas. </div>

It is easy to make them and I have been doing hairpin lace crochet since I was 14 ( baby blankets and shawls and afghans and neck scarves and a few hats) and probably will continue until I breathe my last breath. In fact, I am teaching a young woman from my church how to make one for herself presently. Years ago, when oldest son was in first grade in upstate New York, I taught 10-- 4th graders how to do this needlework skill. Together we made a baby blanket and they ended up giving it to a teacher who was expecting. We got our picture with the blanket in the newspaper! Later on I will show you the progress I have made with my latest project of 300 by Thanksgiving.</div>

8 hours later, this is all there was left of almost 4 inches that fell on Vancouver. We even got more snow than Portland, Oregon but it is all gone because after 5 hours hours of snowing, the rains came. I never had a chance for daylight photos with lots of snow. Rain forecast: next ten days: RAIN everyday --which is making the rivers flood and not a good situation. Guess who has the blues? And I don't mean skies. . . because there aren't any of those either!</div>

Here, my camera and I spotted Mt. Hood from a small beach near the I-5 bridge in Vancouver. This is the beginning of my trek along the Columbia recently. The beach was flooded last Spring and completely invisible and not accessible to take a photo like this IF I had wanted to then. . . </div>

This is a closeup of the above photo. The condos are in WA and Mt. Hood in Oregon but it looks like the mighty mountain is right behind the condos and that I am standing in the Columbia River to take this photo, Instead, I am on the little beach above and zoomed in. The Columbia curves in many places.</div>

This photo of Mt. Hood and the I-205 bridge was taken from Wintler Park where my hike ended. Both, Washington and Oregon share ownership of the Columbia River. When you cross the bridges, there is a sign about in the middle that says either Welcome to Washington OR Welcome to Oregon -- depends on which direction you are traveling as to what you read.</div>

TONIGHT, we are supposed to get our first snowfall. I hope the weatherman is right this time! I am tired of just looking at Mt. Hood to get my snow experience this winter! IF we do, you can be sure that I will be out there with my camera taking pictures of it. </div>
