Hi all,my name is Peggy Failing I'm from the mountains of northeastern penna.From a little country town of Tunkhannock.My BD is 8/6/1950 married 35yrs,in on Dec 23rd.One son 33yrs.who just moved to Tampa Bay Florida.
I love my crocheting and am working on a reversable baby afghan at the moment.With a wheel afghan in progress.I collect patterns and books,never have enough patterns.I crochet in yarn and thread.I love to make dolls ,toys,things I can finish in a week,otherwise I might get bored.I also love to bake and cook,and read scary books,like serial killers,and the unexplained and unusual.I love all the CSI shows and anything on Forsenics.
At present I'm looking for easy socks to make,maybe a tube sock.I work in a warehouse packing shoes,and it gets very cold in there in the winter,longjohns,and gloves are a must.Also need a pattern for fingerless gloves.Also looking for a very old pattern,from about 1983,was in a craft book not solely crochet.It is of a chicken breadbasket with the wings that lift up .It is fit over a basket and you get the rolls or cookies through the wings.I loved this pattern but lost the book over the years.Can anyone help me.I believe the book might have been a Womans Circle or a Womans Household.Fall book.There is a sewn pattern of a turkey on the opposite page from the chicken pattern.
Love the outdoors,and country life,Have made crochet thread Family Heriloom names for Nascar driver Jeremey Mayfield,Emeril Lagasse,the chef,and ex-President Clinton.I made them as gifts.I make the names and design my own filet animals or birds or what ever the person likes on each side of the name.Have made many of these as wedding gifts.
Would welcome anyone to e-mail me.I work fulltime ,as does my hubby who works as a plumbing manager in a local hardware store.I'm 4'10" and hubby is 6'6" tall our son is 6'3".and single so I have no grandchildren yet but I pray for them soon.
Both son and hubby were born with cleftlips and cleft palates,and both are deaf in the left ears.It is called the "Pit Syndrome"
Thanks for letting me join your club,Hugs from Peggy in Pa.
