Hearts for Peyton Heart Project


I crocheted these hearts for Peyton Heart Project.
There are so many sad things some people cause to others in this world.  I just think any of those worth anything.

I especially don't want young children to suffer from bullies at school since the experience seems to scar victims mind forever.  If you are/were a victim of bullying, please know that you are LOVED by many, many people surrounding you.  If you are/were a bully, please reach out to the one to whom you caused the pain and sincerely APOLOGIZE. - This is never too late. With all the social media in these days, how hard can it be??

"Vintage Granny Square Christmas Tree"

I just love vintage crochet patterns.  When I saw this photo tutorial on Ravelry, I just had to make one for myself.


See others' on Ravelry

Actually, you can use any simple crocheted squares that are worked from the center in rounds. - Mine has ch-1 between double crochet clusters instead of traditional ch-2.
My biggest square has 9 rounds in total, and the smallest one has 6 rounds.
I made up the trunk.  After squares were joined, I slip stitched all around the tree so that the joined squares were "one piece" and they wouldn't flop around.

You are free to add any decorations!  I made hearts that are two layers sewn together just because I wanted them puffy. :)

Now this tree is on our living room wall, and making it feel like Christmas. :)  I don't handle the pressure of Thanksgiving cooking well so I can't wait for next month to come. ;p
