Back on Track

I am feeling a lot better, thank you for all the well wishes here and on Facebook! I’m not back to my full self yet, but I will be soon, and I am finally at the point where I can be productive. Plus, typing doesn’t hurt anymore! Sometimes something hits me all at once, and really hard, and my immune system attacks and drains all my energy to fight! It’s great having an immune system that takes no prisoners, but when it goes into full on attack mode, there is very little I can do other than sleep. Any energy I can muster is usually stored up to take a shower. So, I was knocked out for the weekend, but about half way through yesterday I started to feel like one of the living again.

Anyway, I have put together a few snaps from the past week to share.

Doug’s school was off for the Jewish holiday on Thursday (Happy New Year to my Jewish readers! May it bring you joy and love!). He told me on Tuesday. Shortly after telling me, he emerged from the kitchen, “The washer is broken.”

Heart-Free-Crochet-Pattern

I won!!

OK, it is pretty clear I did not win the community choice vote for the Stevie Nicks shawl contest. First and second place both doubled my votes, but third isn’t bad. However, the title of this post is not a lie. You see, I won something even better then $500 (though that sure would have been nice after having to buy a new washer last week). When the contest was announced, I had quite a few people bring it to … Read more

Last week I made some yarn from left over little balls I had, and it was screaming “scoodie!!” to me, and the Scrappy Scoodie was born.

Making Yarn.

Last year I made a bunch of Eli hats with Carisma Loops and Thread yarn. I was organizing all my yarn that was still in boxes, and I found a bunch of little balls of the leftovers. So, I made yarn!! I cut the yarn balls into 2 to 4 yard long pieces, and then tied them back together, mixing up the colors and the sizes. I wound it onto the swift as I tied it together, then wound it into … Read more
