  3. I love Meddy, she's such a sweet lady, very talented and she buys the best bows that goes with her wonderful hats and headbands! lol

    I'm impressed with the way she can look at the animal you have and crochet one to look exactly like it!! That's talent!! What a wonderful way to immortalize an animal you might have lost and want to see each and every day.

  7. I LOVE Meddy's creations...she created Buster up there for me. My daughter was always saying she was going to take Buster with her when she went off to college and Meddy made it possible, my daughter was speachless and misty eyed... Meddy turned a tough transition for me into a memorable time for my daughter ...thanks Meddy
