Black and White Sympathy Card & Crochet Hat

 A few post ago I shared with you a sympathy card. Unfortunately, I had to make another one. Wanted to share it with you all today.   I made this one for a friend at my Church. Her husband passed away a few days ago. I feel so bad for her. She also lost her Mother not that long ago. So here is the card I made for her.










I wanted a simple card and went with another black and white card like I did on my last sympathy card. I also used the same embossing folder.  I had got this bird stamp for my Christmas cards next year. But I thought it might work well for a sympathy card. So it was nice getting to use it. Just wish it wasn't for a sympathy card. I also added a few red gems. Thought they looked nice.


I also thought I would go ahead and share with you a hat that I crocheted for my daughter for Christmas. This was only my second hat that I have made. The first one I made was for my grand daughter. It's on my most recent post if you would like to see it. 






 



 I didn't add a pom pom to this one and I'm glad I didn't. My daughter said she loved the hat but would not have wanted a pom pom. I did mess up on this one and had to take out a few rows. That was a little frustrating.  I was so glad when it was finished. I do like how it turned out.

 If you would like to make one, you can find the video on youtube.
It's called the 1.5 Hour Crochet Hat. Ha! It took me a lot longer than an hour and a half.  The video is by crochetdreamz. If you try making this, make sure you have stitch markers.

I am super happy that it fit my daughter and that she loved it. Now I would like to make me a hat. Well actually I think I'm going to make me a headband. I found a really nice one to try.  

Thank for stopping by. Blessing to you all!

    Sorry you had to make another sympathy card. The bird is so striking. I had to make some myself. So sad. Love your hat. You are going to be an expert by the time Spring comes.

    Sympathy cards are so hard to make - but this is a lovely one, which I am sure was much appreciated by the recipient. Thank you for sharing it with us at Crafty Cardmakers this time.

    Did you realize there is a 12 word phrase you can say to your crush... that will trigger deep emotions of love and instinctual attraction for you deep within his chest?

    That's because deep inside these 12 words is a "secret signal" that triggers a man's instinct to love, please and guard you with his entire heart...

    12 Words That Trigger A Man's Desire Response

    This instinct is so hardwired into a man's brain that it will drive him to work better than ever before to build your relationship stronger.

    Matter-of-fact, fueling this powerful instinct is so mandatory to achieving the best ever relationship with your man that the moment you send your man one of these "Secret Signals"...

    ...You will instantly find him expose his mind and soul to you in a way he's never expressed before and he will distinguish you as the one and only woman in the universe who has ever truly tempted him.
