Spooner

Too sad.

The crochet world has lost Spooner.

What a great loss for all of his 

crocheting virtual friends all over the world 

but especially for his family & friends.

May 18, 1946 - January 8, 2016

This world needs more colours badly

& David Carter aka Spooner

did his best to spread colours

all over this planet.

He started his crochet passion in 1952

- only 5 years old

& celebrated the skill

he learned by his grandma all his life.

I just adore his crochet dolls,

I was always joking that he is the only person

I know who crocheted more dolls than me!

(These cuties are available here)

You can read more about his life

in Spooner's own words

on his page www.thesecurityblanketco.com

& have a look at his unique works

but before you do so

PLEASE read the following words:

Spooner's daughter Mary Wilbur has created

a fundraising page in December.

Actually because he didn't have a health insurance

& couldn't pay the costs for his medical treatment. :-(

Now sadly his family needs the money 

to cover the costs for his funeral.

I don't have much money 

but I've donated some dollars

& if we all do so

we can help Spooner's family

as a last greeting to a man

who won't be forgotten

& will stay in our hearts.

You can make a donation here on gofundme.

❤❤❤

Crochet in peace Spooner!
