Uck!

don't know why, just don't feel good tonight, my throat feels like there's a big bubble there, and I can't figure out why, wasn't like I ate a lot of anything bad, just want to curl up in a ball and go to sleep, I suppose we all have days like that, but I have this thing that says I'm not allowed to, I'm not allowed to be "down", I have to keep going and going, even when all I want to do is hibernate.

Oh, well, on to happier things, I finally got going on that square I'm looming, after having to redo it three times.....and dh made me laugh last night, I was telling him about something I found on Ravelry, and he says "They have places online where you can find patterns for your crafty stuff?".....once I stopped laughing I said "Yes, but they are like cocaine for the addicted.." and he says "Oh, that's what causes the 37 projects going at once"......after that I had pop coming out of my nose, so all I could do was laugh......He is attempting to understand the madness, ROFL!!  And I finally got a picture to the computer, had to take this one with my phone, but, hey, better than nothing.  This is one of the centers for my "mile-a-minute" afghan, I have 5 done, only 4 more to go!! Woo-hoo! I am ready to move on to the next step!

Yarn for Carrie's Square


Meant to take a picture of this yarn before I started, but I couldn't wait to get going....LOL!....this is for the square that I am making for DameWendy's friend Carrie, for her quilt.  I can't wait to see what this looks like when she gets it all put together!  I'm making mine on the red Knifty Knitter, from a pattern from LoomClass yahoo group.  So this one will have bobbles....they look like fun!

Red Heart Super Saver Medium Worsted Color 0374 Country Rose

It's a dusty pink.  Soft but sturdy.  

And I wanted to add a link from here back to Wendy's page so you can find out more about her Quilt of Love. www.damewendy.com Awesome example of helping where you can, find your pay-it-forward right where you are, sometimes I think we look too hard to find people to help, when there could be someone right in front of us that just needs a hug! Anyway, I know I'm guilty of it, and this gives me a chance to try a new technique. So there you go! Because as you already know, I can't have enough things going at the same time!

Creativity

I think I'm suffering from pattern overload......there are so many cute things that I see that I want to do, which means I have 85 things going, and most of the time that's okay, but then nothing gets finished.....

I have taken pictures of the things that are done, the hats I made and the start of the shawl (which of course has given way to the crocheted afghan) and the never ending scarf.....
I'm on the 5th of 9 centers for the afghan, so far that's going pretty well, but I'm hoping to get those done this weekend because I'm bored with them now....I have adult crafting attention deficit disorder (ACADD).  

Anyway, as soon as I find the cord to transfer the pics from the camera to the computer, I'll have some of them here.

1st Post

I guess I've finally decided to bite the bullet and do one of these "blog thingies"...LOL! I just don't know if I think that I have enough to say or things to show off that I need to do this, but I would like a place to keep a few things together, photos of events in my life and those around me, random vents, pictures of crafty thingies that I've been working on so that I can see what I was doing at the beginning and see if I've progressed, a place to share good recipes that I've tried, to talk about how hard it is trying to lose weight in a "food pusher" society.

Think I have enough topics? ROFL!! At any rate, there it is, the reason for the writing, the theme of the thing!
