Hey there! Time to talk about my past week. While there was not a lot of crafting going on, there was a lot going on.
I finished the last eyeglass case.
I have started another Diamond Art project.
I am almost half way done with this one. Hubby fell in love with this so it will probably go in his office area when completed and framed.
I also worked on his RCR sock a bit this week.
I added about 20 rows to it. The color keeps calling to me which makes it easy for me to pick it up and add a few rows now and then.
The best part of the week is the new crafting area we now have for our legos and diamond art. WARNING!!!!! Crappy photo coming.
You can not really see it in the photo but, this table has 2 drawers under the wood top. The drawers span the entire length of the table. I am able to store my lightboard and stand as well as my tools used for the Diamond Art in one drawer. The other drawer is for hubby's crafts. The table raises and lowers so it is comfortable to whoever is using it. I can sit there and still watch TV with hubby. I had been working on a TV tray and it was a challenge to say the least.
I finished a book this week. The Watchmaker's Daughter. It was an enjoyable mystery and #1 in a series. I started the second book in the series on Thursday. The Mapmaker's Apprentice. I get all my books through the Libby app. So much easier than heading downtown to our library and trying to find a book there and then needing to take it back after 2 weeks. This way I just find the book I want, check it out and read it on my kindle app and return it electronically. I have read 14 books so far this year. There are 5 more I tried to read but could never 'get into' them. I go through spurts where reading is all I want to do and then times when I could care less about picking up a book. GASP!
Hubby and I just finished up watching all 5 seasons of 'The Chosen'.. We also watched the first season of 'Ballard'. Hopefully they will do a second season of that. Now to find another series. Any suggestions?
In other news................I ended up in the ER again this week. I had mentioned, last week, I was having some tachycardia from the meds they gave me for my pleurisy. Well, it did not improve over the weekend. I headed to my primary Dr office Monday morning and was told I was in Afib again. Luckily, I had hubby with me. So we went to the ER to get fixed up. They did an electrical cardioversion to get my heart back into normal sinus rhythm. And, before you ask, they knocked me out for the procedure so I felt nothing. I went for a follow up with my cardiologist on Friday and everything looks good. Seems the steroids I got at the hospital as well as the ones I was given to take at home, caused the issue this time. It took me a couple of days to bounce back from everything but I am back to my normal onery self.
Hubby and I did not have any days of being with Josh, last week. Our youngest son and his wife took all the times needed to give us a little break. It was greatly appreciated. We go back to splitting shifts with them this week. Those days are when I get the most of my knitting done!
Here is your chuckle for the week...............
What a great crafting table. Those glasses cases are such a treasure. I'm sure the recipients are thrilled. Sadly my flower pot sticks "diamond art" kit came with no instructions so I don't know how to glue the "beads" on. I've watched some YouTube so I should give it a try before summer is over. Looks like it's going to be a craft for next spring.
ReplyDeleteOh, I missed last week! Love your DA of Mary...gorgeous! Also, I like the 2 tone washcloths and the rectangular shawl. The color for the RCR socks is very cool! What a great desk for both your hobbies. I need to get a stand for DA because I cannot bend over the table and do it. Mine is a big one like yours. The eyeglass cases are such a great gift idea and stunning.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got to spend some quality time with Josh last week. Good for your husband. I love math but I cannot teach anything...just ask my kids! LOL!
So sorry about your pleurisy and I pray you are better by now and back to normal! Have a great week!
I'm so glad to hear you are back to yourself, yourself is just perfect to be back to. Your new crafting area looks so perfect for working on your diamond art but also storing it all! The socks are coming on great, I'm not surprised you are attracted to the colour, it looks great!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to read you're feeling better, Marsha. Are you on a first name basis with the ER staff yet? ;^) I'm glad they've taken such good care of you and got your heart beating normally again. I love the latest glasses case. And I love your desk that raises. That is such a great idea.
ReplyDeleteGosh that must have been another scare you didn’t need. I’m glad you are okay now. That craft table is absolutely perfect! What a brilliant idea. The glasses case looks great. Each week you are tempting me more…especially as my knitting mojo is absent. Luckily I have spinning to distract me and your pieces to enjoy seeing. Wish we lived nearer and I could pop round and see one in person, I don’t know anyone here who does it. Of course you know my whole body would melt in your summer heat. 😂
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're feeling better, Marsha, but my goodness! What an adventure! I absolutely LOVE that cat eyeglasses case and what a wonderful crafting area you've got set up. I am quite jealous of the space and light you've got there.
ReplyDeleteOh my. I am glad everything got sorted at the ER. That glasses case looks amazing and I can see why hubby has called dibs on the one you are working on now. Yay for more RCRs...I have made quite a few since you introduced me to that pattern.
ReplyDeletelove the eyeglass case! and oh my goodness on the er visit! I hope this week there is none in the future. Stay healthy and safe!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling better. What an adventure you’ve been having. That glass case is really neat. That desk is great, we’re looking for a sewing table for my daughter. I wonder if something like that might work.Jen @ Carolina Tales
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are feeling better again, it must be quite scary when these things happen. Your diamond art looks brilliant, I love the glasses case.
