<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">In case you need something to do when the kids go back to school, I have an idea! We need many items still for our Crafting Angels, UMC Mini-kits for newborns. Even if you don't crochet or knit, or sew, we still need a lot of diapers and ivory soap. They can be sent from Amazon right to me, so you won't have to pay postage.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Here is a page of patterns for those of you who knit or crochet. (We have <b>more than enough newborn hats</b>, so please make another item like booties or washcloths if you can. THANKS!)</span><br />

Yes, My hubby and I finally got to go back to France to see our daughter, her hubby and new grandbaby!! WHOO!HOOO! Patti thought (and I did too!) that it would be fun to make a couple of youtube videos whilst we were there. Here is the English one, and you can see the French one I did with her too. Hope you will give this a thumbs up, and subscribe to her channels. If you subscribe to her channels you can see lots of fun videos. She will brighten your day let me tell you!

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Yes, I do knit my winter socks-- not my summer ones, as it's just too warm here in the desert for hand-knitted socks in the summer!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A few people have asked me for the pattern I use, so I am in the process of typing that up and this one since it's taken me years to perfect, will be in my Craftsy and Etsy shops soon!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I decided that since it's socks and they make marvelous presents that I will include one of my <b>sheets of 'wrappers</b>' to place on each pair that you make to give away. Makes them super sweet.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The pattern is for one size-- Ladies-- and yes, I know ladies have a big variety of foot sizes. I wear a size 10 and the size I knit fits my daughter who wears a size 8 and me. They just stretch or shrink back! They really are just wonderful! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You can also take away or add a few rows before making the toes and adjust them that way too. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">At one time I had the pattern all typed up and ready to publish and my computer died. :( Thankfully I had already printed it out, unfortunately all the wonderful photos I took of various stages of knitting were lost. I am making another pair and will eventually take more photos for it though.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I know lots of people choke at the thought of using 4 needles to knit and I used to as well, but no longer! They aren't that bad, in fact, with a little practice they are super! No more seams!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The great thing about knitting socks is that you can make them as tall or short as you'd like! I like taller socks in the winter so I don't get cold legs, you know? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Well, I will let you know when this pattern, and the cute gift wraps, are ready for purchase, meanwhile you will need 4 double pointed <b>size 3</b> US knitting needles, and about 50 grams of sock yarn-- available at Michael's, Hobby Lobby, and online too at Herrsheners.com etc.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">(UPDATE! Here it is! )</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/knitting/clothing/bevs-only-socks/197548">http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/knitting/clothing/bevs-only-socks/197548</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Till next time!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hug the ones you love!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How many of you have actual websites or blogs that you create using HTML? So you know how much maintenance they take to keep them current. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Well, I have been updating my amazon links to their new format for weeks, and finally got all those ads</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"> on </span><a href="http://www.bevscountrycottage.com/">http://www.bevscountrycottage.com</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">, changed! All 154 pages of them! Praying they don't pull that nasty again! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Now back to working on fixing or removing the broken links on my site. I think on my 912+ page website there are 1 million or so! Well, I am exaggerating but it feels like it!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">My daughter Patti told me about </span><a href="http://www.brokenlinkcheck.com/" rel="nofollow" style="background-color: white; color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">http://www.brokenlinkcheck.com/</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"> so that's what I am using to find out easily which ones don't work anymore. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Now, if only you could click on a button and remove all the broken links... <sigh> but nope, I have to open every page one at a time, and then remove the HTML for each broken </sigh></span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">link, or change it if I can find an archived version. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">I have heard that it make 'google' like your pages much better, and your readers are more likely to come and stay, or come back over and over, if the links work, (makes perfect sense). That way perhaps more people will click on the ads they like or are interested in, and just maybe, I will make enough money to keep my site online, AND be able to pay our household bills and that's a big YEAH BABY!!!!!!!!! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">So off I go to work on those links and one of these days, I will figure out a new format so that my site is mobile device friendlier. Google ads is telling me my site needs work in that area.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">I wish they knew that I am heading on the fast track to 60 years old, learned HTML over a decade ago when I was working for the Osmonds, and now there is no one to train me in updated formats and I am the only person who maintains all 912+ pages. :) </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Oh yes, and I got my hair cut a couple of weeks ago! Love the easy care it takes!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Good morning!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you like making newborn hats and booties then you might want to join us in making newborn mini-kits for the babies born at the county hospital in Vegas! This will be an ongoing project but we are hoping to have our first assembling in December 2015!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some simple crocheted patterns are included in the links below, but you may use ANY pattern you enjoy making!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Items needed for each kit:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 newborn hat (<a href="http://www.bevscountrycottage.com/hats-hats-hats.html">http://www.bevscountrycottage.com/hats-hats-hats.html</a>) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 pair newborn booties (<a href="http://www.bevscountrycottage.com/bevsbooties2.html">http://www.bevscountrycottage.com/bevsbooties2.html</a>) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 washcloth (</span><a href="http://www.bevscountrycottage.com/lauras-cloth.html"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">http://www.bevscountrycottage.com/lauras-cloth.html</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> )</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 paper diapers (If you have any newborn diapers-- even a couple from grandkids visiting etc, please send them)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 bar of Ivory soap</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All these will be place in a 1 qt sized ziplock bag. (SO WE NEED 1 QT SIZED ZIPLOCKS)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If anyone would like to make 32" blankets (fleece would work great!) these kits could be pinned to a blanket which would be even more wonderful!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These blankets would be a wonderful Eagle Scout project too!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can find free patterns for these items on this page:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hoping to get a kit made up real soon, and then I can post a photo!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Items can be mailed <span style="color: red;"> (Before Dec 1st, 2015)</span> to:</span><br />

If any of you knitters or crocheters would like to make some easy dolls and bears for wonderful children in orphanages, please take a look at my patterns and info, and help the Kaiizen Foundation today. There are knitted patterns for dolls and bears or crocheted patterns for both!<br />
<br />
'CRAFTING ANGELS' is sending the Kaiizen Foundation, their first batch of toys and such, mid-May, so that the group can take them to a Swaziland orphanage in mid-June! They also need baby blankets/quilts; hacky sacks, balls, hair pretties etc.<br />
<br />
Here is the website with patterns and info:<br />
