Lapghans 

When Your Legs Are Chilly ... Reach For Me

Not all afghans are behemoths that can cover a queen-sized bed or stretch across the back of a six-foot long sofa. Some are small and cozy for those nights when, curled up in that favorite chair, your legs are just a little chilly. We call these 'lap'ghans, because, at about 36"x36", they're perfect to throw over your lap.

All JMark Afghans designs come in a lapghan size. Here are three examples:
       Cozy Afghan 002       Misc Afghan 001       Misc Afghan 002
just perfect to cover your legs or, if you like, use as baby blankets.

Remember, you design the afghan, so it can be any color(s) that you like.

Even summer evenings can get chilly. Why not order yours today?

Bright and Cheery Afghan 

Not Grandma's Afghan!

If you were to ask people what an afghan looks like, my guess is that very few would expect this look - which is one of our major goals at JMark Afghans, etc.

We want you to think of an afghan as au courant, fashionable - the perfect compliment to every lifestyle and any decor.

Colors too flamboyant? Not a problem, because the afghan you receive is the afghan you design. No color is impossible!

                      
These are computer-enhanced images of how this Block Afghan might look in lighter colors. Be sure to visit JMark Afghans, etc. for available colors. We can match or accent virtually any decor.

The Afghan for All Seasons 

Lacy Afghan

This is a pattern that I found and fell in love with. Not only is it elegant draped over the back of your favorite chair, it is equally beautiful draped over your shoulders on a cool spring or fall evening.

While there isn't a color that wouldn't be perfect for this delicate-looking keepsake, I crocheted this one in Red Heart 'Fiesta' Wheat ~ a cream-colored yarn with a metallic gold thread throughout. Just Gorgeous!

Curl Up With A Great Book

I have been reading Nora Roberts' books for years. While I love all of her books, I feel that she is at her best when she is creating series - stories that follow several friends or family members through their lives and loves.

Artificial Intelligence . . . 

Who could resist this face?

One of my favorite quotes, because I have days like that is:

"Artificial Intelligence is no match for Natural Stupidity!"

In fact, I'm so fond of the quote, that I created three (3) different items on Zazzle with this cute phrase.

Whether you want a magnet for the 'fridge, a poster for your desk, or a postcard to share with friends -

We've got "Natural Stupidity" just for You!

Have a Little Humor with Your Morning Coffee 

Of All the Things I've Lost. . .

Got toddlers or teenagers!? Unappreciated by the boss?! Did you actually get out of bed today?! Then, you should be able to relate to this!

When I started designing mugs, I thought I'd try something that generally described my average day.

A perfect accompaniment to your morning shot of caffeine or afternoon relaxer, this mug says it all:

"Of all the things I've lost . . . I miss my mind the most!"
