WEEK 4

 

Greeting everyone.  Another week as gone by.  I managed to stay out of the ER this past week!  HOORAY!  I am feeling fantastic and had a blessed week.  Things go accomplished too.

DIAMOND ART

So glad to have this one done.  It was very involved with all the color changes.  Now to find a frame for it and get it hung in hubby's office.  

Bookmarks!  I need to seal these and then put their tassels on them.  These are great for the days I go to Josh's.  I have 4 more of them to do.  

I just started this yesterday.  It is a BIG one.  It measures 16" X  34".  Not a traveling project.  It has 37 different colors in it.  That is the most colors I have ever had on one project.  It will be well worth it when completed though.

KNITTING

Hubby's RCR is my constant companion.  I am very close to the starting the toe.  

My fingers are itching to cast on either a baby hat or a dishcloth.  I am trying hard not to do that as I really want hubby's socks to be 100% completed.  If I were to cast on, they would go to the back burner and languish for who knows how long.

CROCHET

Again, I am itching to start another shawl for the cancer ministry.  If I finish the first sock and cast on the second, I may allow myself the joy of starting a shawl.

READING

I finished 'The Women' by Kristin Hannah

I loved it!  Having lived during the Vietnam War, this book really took me back to my high school days and all the feels of that time.  It was so good I managed to finish it in 3 days time.  

I am still reading 'The Mapmaker's Apprentice'.  I did pause reading it so I could read 'The Women' since I had placed it on hold back in November.  I didn't want to delay my hold and end up waiting another month or more.  

PUZZLES

Nope.  Starting one has been on my mind but there are only so many hours in the day.  

SEWING

Nope.  I do have several items That need hemming up.  Not sure when I will get to those.  They are not for me but for Jaxon.  My issue is they are super stretchy material and have a tendency to pucker when being sewn.  I know there is a way to make it work, I just have not taken the time to really work on it.  I bought the machine from JoAnn's and since they are no longer in business, I will need to find out who can help me with my Husqvarna machine.

CROSS STITCH

Nope.  I don't know why I don't pull one of the two pieces out and put in a few stitches each day.  Both of them sit right beside my chair.  It's not like I need to go scrounging to find them!

LEGOS

I did purchase a new legos kit.  It was on half price and one on my wish list.  It will stay in the box for a while though.  Notre Dame is still unfinished.  I would work on it but...........hubby said he made a couple of mistakes and needs to undo some areas before continuing.  Since I have no idea of where those mistakes are, I refuse to touch it until corrections have been made.

LIFE

The rest of last week was pretty quiet............for a change.  I did need to get blood work done for my Rheumatologist but that was easy.  I spent one and a half days with Josh.  He is spending more time in bed and becoming more confused about timelines and things that happened IRL.  It can be quite entertaining at times. 

Here is what made me laugh this week

 

My dog would attack me if I tried this with him.  He won't even let me put a sweater on him in the winter.

Until Next Time..............................Happy Crafting!!!!!!!!!!!!!
