Quilting first. I spent my weekend indoors, hacking up a couple lungs. When I wasn’t sleeping, and the hacking was at a minimum, I did a little knitting, and a little sewing. I finished up the quilt top!

I have the rest of the materials to finish the quilt, but with a big [...]

I had a really rough day Friday. Medical things that got me really frustrated. So, to make myself feel a little better, I went to Joann’s, conveniently located across the way from the medical building I was supposed to be at. I purchased only some thread and some remnants, and a yard [...]

…it’s been almost weeks since my last blog post. Life has become a little crazy, what with work, and socializing and stuff. Some of our dearest friends moved from Long Island last week to NJ, and we’ve been over there helping them out. And I had a relapse on my back issues; [...]

I’ve been keeping a low profile lately, trying to get my back back into shape. I’m currently working with a physical therapist, and hopefully at the end of this treatment, I will feel more like myself.

I had hoped to make some progress and finish up [...]

I spent the day yesterday cleaning. Finally put the big box of Xmas decorations down in the crawlspace. I have clean floors again, and I can almost see my reflection in the shine of the stovetop. We have clean clothes again for the week (explain to me how 3 people create 6 [...]

It’s been a week of non-stop knitting. I have made tremendous progress on the Knit Picks project, which is currently in pieces, blocking on the craft room floor. I also finished the Deep V Argyle. No modelling shots, because I’m still in jammies. Next time though.

Also finished is the sock that [...]

These were done last week.

I like the way that they are turning out. I laid them out on my bed for a rough guesstimate on how many I’ll need in total. I came up with the number 40. I have 7. Yikes. It’ll be awhile before I have a full [...]
