I have badly neglected this blog, that much I know.

Most of the things I'm making these days are for orders, and repeats of hats you've probably already seen here. And anything else? Well, I always forget to post it. Also, I don't know why, but I can never get posts to flow right when I'm posting about stuff I make, so they sound weird and I don't like to do them.

So I'm gonna make some changes here on For His Glory Handiwork.

In the past I've occasionally shared a few patterns. Now, that's about all I'll be sharing!

Lots and lots of free patterns coming soon to you my lovely crocheting friends. Free patterns are about all I use, and all I want to offer to you!

I'll be adding them to Ravelry, and have an easy way to view them here on the blog. I'll also have things up like what abbreviations stand for, and helpful links to size charts and things.

I'll be sharing some other things too like links to some of my favorite patterns, and other crafting related stuff, but mostly new patterns.

Along with this change, the blog will look a little different soon! :)

Also, if you don't have a good way to follow along and get new updates for posts and patterns here, I will be making a facebook page soon too, so watch for that.

Looking forward to the changes the future will bring here! Thanks for following along!

P.S. Two of the things I used to post about here are Block Party Updates, which can now be found HERE. And updates about my business, Handiwork for Orphans, which can now be found HERE.

Block Party 2013!

This past Saturday was the 4th Annual Block Party! Pictures first!

*Formatting may not show up correctly in google reader or email, you may want to view directly on the blog. Sorry for the picture overload. I couldn't choose favorites. :)

All the blocks not already laid out into blankets

Jim couldn't be outdone by Gary! :)

These 3 played together all day!

Rachel and I - How did I get so lucky to get such an amazing best friend??

"How do you get this thing in here again??" Link's wife made over half the blocks this year as she did last year!

Making new friends while they work

Hey look! There's me sewing.. proof I actually do sew! ;)

First finished blanket!

Another one done!

Finishing up the pink one!

Repairing some "issues" with this one - these two ladies are a hoot... that's all I'm gonna say.

All done!

And the last one of the day done! It was decided we weren't leaving until it was finished, so finish it we did!

Now that you've seen the day in picture's let talk about the day in numbers... :)

I was a bit concerned with the snow that we wouldn't have a very good turn out, but we did, with a total of almost 30 people coming to help sew!

We had 6 big blankets (twin size) pre-laid out before everyone arrived. We finished all six and another big one, with a total of 7 big (twin size) blankets sewed!

We had near 1300 blocks donated before the Block Party, and more were brought the day of, with a total of 1769 blocks for this year!

Thank you so much to Jill, Anna, Rachel, Isaac, Rebekah, Anita, Betty, Amy, Lora, Jenny, Sydney, Hazel, Ellie, Ellie, Tracy, Darlene, Jim, Jeanne, Laurie, Diane, Link, Sheri, Lisa, Lisa, Rochelle, Klara, Jocelyn, Heather, and anyone else I missed for coming and helping sew!!!!

And thank you from the bottom of my heart to every single person who made blocks, whether it was 1 or 1000, each one mattered!

Many people will feel the love stitched into each blanket, and they will be blessed because of your efforts. Each blanket and block is bring some joy and hope into the lives of the hopeless in Ukraine. Thank you!

Block Party Update!

Yup. So I failed at keeping this blog updated about the Block Party.

Contrary to previously announced date, the Block Party HAS NOT happened yet. It's being held a week from tomorrow, on February 23rd (we moved it from the 2nd mainly due to me traveling).

Here's this year's flier.

And please go visit our new website! - Block Party Let me know what you think!

Please don't forget to RSVP if you are coming, and thank you so much for your support with this project!!!

Looking forward to the 23rd! :)
