My ladies — Dawn

Are ever so beautiful

The first in a list of lovely ladies. I did this, and I made this.

My friend Dawn and her husband, October 2025

I’ve known Dawn for about 8 years, and she has received many handmade items from me over those years. She happens to love my crocheted items.

When she told me early in 2024 that she was getting married, I asked her what I could make her for a wedding present.

I would love one of those Lover’s blankets!!! Like the yellow and black one you made? Yes. One of those, please. BUT! Only if you have time. I don’t want you to rush!

Girl. Say no more.

What colors would you like?

His favorite is red. Mine, as you know, is purple.

It seemed to me that the best choice for making a wedding gift was red. I mean, it IS the color of love, right?

I did vacillate between the red and purple, though. Purple is MY favorite color too. I knew that if I made it with purple and black, I would probably want to keep it, and that wasn’t my goal.
