WEEK 28 OF MY 10TH YEAR

 

Welcome back.  It is once again time for my week in review/update.

I am happy to report, I stayed totally monogamous to the Havana this week.

There were 60 rows completed this week.  That leaves 36 rows and the crocheting part will be completed.  Then it will be getting the twisted fringe evened out and whoosh......it will go to it's new home.  I am so glad I learned this technique.  One thing I would do differently is NOT use worsted weight yarn again.  DK would be a much better choice for one of these types of blankets.  The mosaic crochet makes a very dense fabric.   I do have another mosaic blanket I am going to make and this time I will be using all the DK yarn I already have in my stash.  Some of that yarn has been hanging around for YEARS.  It will be nice to stash bust my DK and then only purchase more when I have a project that calls for it.  

Before I start another blanket, I still have other WIP projects that need my attention.  (Two to be exact)  My daughter has also requested a pair of socks and said she would love a pair of the Rose City Rollers.  Those may get cast on very soon as I am needing a traveling project over the next week.  There is teen/dog watching happening this coming week and the Havana is not really portable at this point.  That will remain my after dinner/ TV watching project.  Hopefully I will be able to complete it by next Sunday's update.

Something got done this week that has not happened in quite a while.

I worked on and completed a puzzle.  It was nice to have something different to do.  This puzzle only took a few hours to complete as it was only 500 pieces.  Me thinks I will put another puzzle out this afternoon.  I love being able to just go and put a few pieces in at a time and then leave it for other ventures.

Hubby has been going to the grocery store for me over the past 2 weeks.  (Stupid shingles!)  I may decide to let him go more often.

These found their way home with him this week.  I love having flowers in the house.  They just brighten up any area they are put.  When we lived in PA, he would bring home flowers every week that he was in town.  (He traveled 2-3 weeks a month)  It was never expected so a nice gesture of love from him.

My shingles are basically gone.  They all scabbed over and most of that is gone too.  YIPPEE!  I was very fortunate to have caught them early and was put on an anti-viral drug to help with the process.  I don't seem to have any of the post-herpetic pain that is associated with shingles either.  Yes I was truly fortunate.

Today, I will be doing laundry and working on decluttering the Master Bedroom.  With me being gone several hours a day next week, I need to get a head start on some stuff.  I do not want to fall behind on the decluttering or I will never get caught up again.  There will also be menus made for the next 10 days, a grocery list made, and of course, working on the Havana.  I baked a loaf of bread yesterday, so that is done for the week.  I might make some type of sweets for us yet too.  We like just a little sweet thing after dinner in the evenings.  There are some new baking pans at my house that need to be used so why not make something sweet and yummy in them.

I hope all of you are having a great day.  

Until Next Time...................................Happy Crafting & Stay Well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
