WEEK 6

 

Hey there!  Good to have you back again.  Hope your week went well for you.  Mine was productive as well as enjoyable.  I have a finished item to show this week.

KNITTING

Hubby's RCR socks are completed and in his drawer.  I was so inspired by the completion of these I decided to cast on more RCR socks.  Yes, that is plural!

These are for hubby since they are wool.  Once again, the yarn is from Leading Men Fibers.

These are for ME!  It is Diversity Yarn.  I love this yarn for the stretch it has and yet never looses its shape.  Wears quite well too.  Hubby has socks in this yarn that are MANY years old and still look brand new.  My only complaint is all their yarn is self striping.  I would love to have a solid or variegated color in this yarn to play with.

DIAMOND ART

I only worked on my Diamond are 3 days this past week.  I was very focused on sock knitting.  Yet, I did get the section I was working on completed and started a new section last night.

Here is the current section I am working on.  The star is the halfway point for this project.

The left side is what I completed the middle of the week.  My biggest problem with working on this is, once I start I have a hard time stopping.  I worked on it 5 hours yesterday.  Time just slips away when working on it.

READING

The book I was reading last week got returned as I was correct and had seen the Hallmark Movie of it.  I did check out another book.  'Home for Christmas in July'.  I am thoroughly enjoying this little mystery/romance.  Naturally, as soon as I got started reading this book one of my 'on hold' books became available.  I had to put that book back on hold as I am not good at reading 2 books at the same time.  

Crochet

Not yet

Puzzles

I finally got all my boxes to Goodwill so my dining room table is now available to set a puzzle up on it.

Sewing

Keep on moving to the next category

Cross Stitch

Nope, nothing here either

Lego

Nothing new built and the Notre Dame build is still at a stand still.

I was informed that putting an 's' on the end of Lego is a big No-No.  Sorry.  I did not mean to cause any upset in Denmark.  Forgive us Americans.  We mean no offense.  

Life

Pretty normal week here.  I spent 1.5 days with Josh this week.  We saw a large change this week in his delusions, paranoia and anxiety.  This tells us his cancer is continuing to wreck havoc in his brain.  His short term memory has decreased to maybe about 2-5 minutes and his long term is laced with fiction along with facts.  It can make for some very interesting stories!

As you probably remember, Hubby and I have been getting up very early every Saturday, for several years, to gather food from local grocers to take to our church's food bank.  This week, we decided this will be the last month of us participating in this worthy endeavor.  My RA is preventing me from any heavy lifting and hubby is starting to have issues with lifting heavy items too.  We have enjoyed our time doing this but at some point you have to know your limitations. 

Here is your chuckle for the week.......................

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