I thought since not all of ya’ll have been here since the beginning that I would share some highlights of the last year on Crocheting Thru Chronic Diseases With Alex on Facebook! I know I’m probably going to forget some things but here’s what my fibrofog brain will let me remember to include:









Madalyn loves making blankets for other sick children. She is such a sweet little girl and inspiration that I wanted to crochet her an owl hat. She looks adorable in it! I love this picture! Visit her at Madalyn's Gifts on Facebook.

















Happy Halloween!!!


















Sending out the prize for my 1st contest!














Working on Christmas presents!















I won Emma12sings contest on Youtube!!!! She is now the official juvenile spokesperson for the National Fibromyalgia Association

She is such an inspiration and so sweet!













Merry Christmas Eve!!!

















Sarah from Sarah's Shout: Fighting and Raising Awareness for EDS and More is also a big inspiration to me and one of the reasons why I started my page. I crocheted her a zebra hat and scarf and sent it to her. She has made me so happy because she wears it a lot and she even wore it in her awesome remake of "Let it Go" the autism version. Check it out here.





Happy Valentines Day!






I have been following Austin's page on Facebook for awhile now and I love seeing his smile. When he asked for hearts to decorate his valentine tree I decided to crochet him 2, one from me and one from Isaac that Isaac painted.










I started following Katy from Purple Awareness Matters on facebook and when she mentioned she crochets too I decided to message her. We have became really great friends and I crocheted her this cute little bear. This bear is how I fell in love with amigurumi.
