Happy Valentines Day!!! I wanted to share some crochet love with you all!!!! I found this pattern in a vintage crochet magazine. With so much red crochet thread on hand I decided to give it a a go and I couldn’t be more pleased!!!! </div>

The pattern is called Rising Sun, which you can clearly see why. I would like to work another up in a cream color. Needless to say, this has sparked up the crochet mojo, which couldn’t make me happier.</div>

Could not resist the chance to pose Phoebe on it. We spent the afternoon on the back porch crocheting and watching Netflix on the ipad. The weather was perfect. My sister joined us with her cross stitch. This blanket is a lot of work, but I think the outcome is going to be worth it. <div><img id="id_ffce_a0d9_979f_283a" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-fr2Ik218dd4/W0FLF_VbeQI/AAAAAAAAJtQ/Hk3bSta4lUob2EcwpSuOndNBDLYEZcJRACHMYCw/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 611px; height: auto;"><br><br>There are a lot of ends to weave in and a lot of joining the squares. This picture give a good idea how the pattern is going to work. The plan is 16 squares then a border. It should work up to a nice size to snuggle under. </div><div><br></div><div>It has been a scorcher of a week here in NC. Finally today we had some nice temperatures, it made the back porch very comfortable. I need more of this in my life!!! </div><div><br></div><div><img id="id_c8f0_a566_eb4d_55d8" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-IE0pqEksUxQ/W0FLFl26OZI/AAAAAAAAJtM/vB6NdO6kWDQSrPQR0ukZGqJ1HaNs_EemwCHMYCw/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 309px; height: auto; margin: 4px;"><br><br>I am signing off with a picture of my new doo. I went darker. Still getting used to the color and wearing it longer. This southern humidity can make a girl rather de-poofed! LOL! My diet is working out pretty good, despite this 4th of July week. I am aiming for at least 10 more pounds. It is helping with energy and just feeling better overall. </div><div><br></div><div>Good bye for now!!

Yay!! I have some little quickie projects I want to get started on. So this is a good feeling of accomplishment. My next step is to come up with a creative idea to finish him up in. I am sure Pinterest will help me out with that! <div><br></div><div>I have been doing some reflecting this week. Actually, it has been quite a week. Work has been full of challenges. My diet has been doing very well, but not without those temptations!!! So I have learned some things this week and thought I share!</div><div><br></div><div>1. Friends matter. They are like family. When they are hurting, you are hurting.</div><div>2. You have to take care of yourself, mentally and physically. They both work together. It’s important. I have been doing a Keto diet. So far 15 pounds. I am still discovering those foods that give me energy, and those that I should stay away from. I find that the better I feel physically the better I fell mentally.</div><div>3. God is always there. (In fact I should list this as the first item). He is right with us all experiencing the ups and the downs with us. He is there, and we shouldn’t ignore him.</div><div>4. Some people are just mean and insensitive. They can unknowingly say things that can hurt to your gut. They rarely change. I pray for them.</div><div>5. It is good to let those important to you that you love them. You don’t always have to use words to do that. A simple kindness and a look can made a stronger impact on someone.</div><div>6. Quiet time is essential. Put away the phone and other distractions and try get 30 minutes alone with your thoughts.</div><div>7. Read a bible verse every day. I do need to work on this. But I find if I read a verse, I usually read a full chapter, and most times there is a lessons in it for me.</div><div>8. God hears our tears. Tears are pure and honest. Groaning of the heart. </div><div>9. I try not to cus. Sometimes something slips through...then I feel bad about it.</div><div>10. Guard your soul. </div><div><br></div><div>Of course some of these I have learned before this week. But I was reminded of all of these over the past few days. </div><div><br></div><div>I am thankful the weekend is here. I hope to spend some time with my folks. Mom is doing ok. She still has not gone back onto her treatment until all her gastric problems have cleared up. She can use prayers!!! </div><div><br></div><div>I am back on my crochet project now, so an update with plenty of pictures should be on the way!!!! </div><div><br></div><div>I will close with a picture of Phoebe going night night the other evening. </div><div><img id="id_b7d6_4c33_ff55_4d64" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_5BTvTo_f2c/WzbGYJZSxzI/AAAAAAAAJrs/p95hQ76xcVc6aRj13aADqA1iGcZLuSXvwCHMYCw/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 640px; height: auto;"><br><br>Doesn’t that look cozy!!!!!!</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div> </div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16672033545939605840noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7364944045589647134.post-17939503308272036582018-06-17T19:08:00.001-04:002018-06-17T19:08:16.780-04:00Father’s DayI hope everyone was able to enjoy time with family today!

Time is passing by so quickly. My blogging has pretty much ground to a stop with the discovery of Instagram. Everything is so instant these days. It has its good and bad. The bad is it seems to have given me attention deficit, LOL! Which in turn has made my blogging a bit lacking.<br />
<br />
So what’s happening? Life. Working, home, family, and friends. Not necessarily in that order. I have picked up my cross stitching. It’s been years! Above is a little Santa I am working on. <br />
<br />

Check this fella out!!! I stitched him on perforated paper. I am a bit addicted to this perforated paper. You stitch, then cut it out and hang it up. My projects have been small because I can get them done and feel fabulous about my accomplishments. LOL.</div>

For those that have sent me messages asking how I am doing, all is well. Phoebe is doing great. She is now the senior dog in the family. :( I wish they would stay puppies! My mom has been diagnosed with lymphoma. We are still going through testing to see exactly what kind she has and get her on a treatment plan. Please add her to your prayer lists!! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It is my every intention to get back on my blog. I know that I do enjoy it and it is fun to post all my creativity, which in turn causes more creativity. Is anyone using an app to post to their blog? I would be interested in knowing. Anything to make posting easier is a plus in my book.</div>

Looky!! I finally got a start on the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/whispers-shawl-shawlette-or-scarf" target="_blank">Whispers Shawl</a>!! I am loving it. It is working up so quick! If you are wanting to give it a try I do have a couple of suggestions. (1) use a fingering weight yarn, and a yarn that has the self striping change in colors. Knitpicks has a line of yarn called <a href="http://www.knitpicks.com/yarns/Chroma_Fingering_Sock_Yarn__D5420203.html" target="_blank">Chroma</a> that works perfectly for this. (2) I am using a size E hook. It may feel strange if you are a tight crocheter, but you will be happy with the results! Both the yarn and the hook gives the shawl a gorgeous drape and weight.</div>

The Yarn I was using is by Knitpicks, It was in my Thriftstore Yarn Score that I had posted a couple of weeks ago, It is called Peciosa "'Mulled", 100% Merino Worsted Weight. I don't believe they sell it any longer. Shame, it knits up so pretty!</div>

How's about a little selfie of me modeling the scarf and my fresh new hair did!! I have decided to try and grow it out a little for a change. I am also doing my best to do some low carbing, too!!! I am at that point where it is still hard, it takes a while and a lot of determination to get my mind and body off the carbs!!! They are so yummy, and I loves me some pizza and chocolate milk! Oh the inhumanity of it all!!!<br />

Tah-dah! Just finished it up. I am loving it right now. The yarn is actually from a Good Will scarf I bought for a couple bucks because I liked the yarn. Took it home and frogged the scarf. I had a pretty sock yarn at home I wanted to blend it with. </div>

I am pretty pleased. It is kind of fascinating how it changes color. One moment it has a purple look, then a brown look. My granny square/crocheting obsession is in full swing right now, and nothing could make me happier. I think it is because I am wanting fall to get her so badly. Right now the heat and humidity are brutal and I am inside crocheting scarves and shawls. Sounds crazy!</div>

I really like the border. I used the border pattern from <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/all-shawl" target="_blank">Doris Chan's, All Shawl</a>. It is a free ravelry download. I am now wanting to give the entire pattern a try. Looks fun and quick, and very pretty.</div>

Poor girlie, She is a bit out of sort. You see, she has no sofa to sit on the back of! It's a long story, so the short version is this. we bought new furniture (exciting!). Well, I gave away out old stuff to get ready for the new furniture. Delivery day came and they guys could not get the sofa through the living room door! Geesh!!!! They put it back on the truck and took it away. I am having it brought back and also doing my best to get a contractor to open up the living room entrance, if I can just get someone to call me back!!! Why is that so hard!!! So cross your fingers for me. We have needed to have this done, this was the straw that broke the camel's back! I know once we get it done and the sofa moved in we will be pleased...it is just going to take some time and patience!</div>

What do you think? It is such squishy yarn. I didn't realize how big it would work up once I started. I do like the pattern. I does have short rows in it, but they really aren't too bad and they just make the shape come out perfectly. You can find the pattern at </div>

Here is the back. I love how this yarn stripes. For anyone interested, I used a size 4 circular needle and the yarn is Lion Brand Tween Stripes, Mixed Berry. I used almost five skeins.</div>

Greetings from the back porch! The weather is gorgeous, and my company has four legs and the sweetest face ever! I am a happy camper. I finished my latest granny square blanket. I am so pleased with it. I am also pleased with the fact that my leg is definitely on the mend. I was actually able to get out on the porch and clean off the pollen and get my plants outside. This is progress!</div>

Just a few notes on the blanket. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
1 - I joined my squares as I worked the blanket. I am really getting to the point where I prefer this method. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
2 - I put in a round of small solid grannies. It slowed the whole process down, but the effect is completely worth it. It is important that you be mindful with the rows after the single squares...I had to go back and take rows out down to that row of solid grannies because I had too many stitches and it would not lie flat. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
3 - it is my preference to have a nice thick border on the blanket. I worked it in half double crotchets. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
4 - I apologize for all the red, but I just can't help it!!!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
5 - This is the perfect project for using up those scrap acrylic yarns. I did supplement mine with some more colors, but it is mostly what I had on hand.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Now that the blanket is finished, it fueled the fan for more hookiness. I am now obsessed. I want to start another blanket, but cannot decide what I want to do so in the meantime I am doing...</div>

It has been a little more than I can really deal with driving me to tears a couple times. Oh, I can just put up a good face and keep pushing forward, but truthfully it is so depressing. Why do people do this? Well, we all know how we would answer that question, it has to be something we have done, although truthfully it probably is not. What is the saying I used to hear when I was little? "She wears her heart on her sleeve." I think that would be me! LOL!! <div><br></div><div>I suppose I am feeling a bit sorry for myself. The phone hasn't rang all weekend. Some of my texts and emails have gone unnoticed. That feeling of being invisible comes creeping back. And it's an awful feeling. With a little time I am sure all this will go away and I will forget all about it, but at the moment it sucks!!!! It literally drains every ounce of creativity out of me. I don't have the slightest desire to pick up a crochet hook or a set of knitting needles. </div><div><br></div><div>My leg is healing along. It was so swollen from being on it this week, so yesterday I kept it elevated as much as I could, it made a difference today! I cannot wait till I am able to get myself easily downstairs to the garage and into my car!! I miss that freedom!! I am sure being able to just get out and about easier is going to be huge for my mood! I would love to visit a thrift store or Goodwill!!!</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGzuP6uqxOnGrQTE7WvPNDrCdefIwHRLmUTSbU8fLg8M9Hlv61nEO4E8G51xFB8Qmhobptla4IyHrCa20Ygk-BezFhkRvFIHR7DFnP_I3kEMFuEh4Uv2Hc-39GN1xzaz5JQzVFAYuVHtQ/s640/blogger-image--2090879720.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGzuP6uqxOnGrQTE7WvPNDrCdefIwHRLmUTSbU8fLg8M9Hlv61nEO4E8G51xFB8Qmhobptla4IyHrCa20Ygk-BezFhkRvFIHR7DFnP_I3kEMFuEh4Uv2Hc-39GN1xzaz5JQzVFAYuVHtQ/s640/blogger-image--2090879720.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I thought I would sign off with one of my favorite pictures of my little niece wrapped up in the blanket I made her.

So O am hoping my crochet slump is over. Everyone thought I would be crocheting up a storm since I broke my leg. "Well, at least you have time to crochet!" But it hasn't been that way. Until thisnInhave felt a bit lost. I know that sounds strange, it even does to me. Thank goodness I am getting back to normal, I have another week before I return to work. I am so ready to spend my days with real people instead of the television , although Phoebe has been good company!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I am leaving for now! I am crocheting some flower pins! Heck, it's something to do!</div>

Amazing how time slows down when you are laid up! I am happy to report that I am healing up nicely. I have two more weeks before I go back to the ortho, with directions to put no weight on my right leg. <br />

I knit a cover for my cast, but as you can see, it didn't quite fit. So these will be a pair of leg warmers when I finish the other. Can you see how I banged my poor knees up when I fell? They look so perty.</div>

I have started a pair of knee socks! I am doing an afterthought heel. I am really likening this method of doing socks. You really don't need a pattern. It took a small lesson on how to go back and put the heel in, which isn't hard at all. Unfortunately I discovered I dropped a stitch and am having to rip out all the way back to the heel to correct it. I am okay with that, because I want them to be longer, I misjudged on the length, so now I can correct that too! Love this yarn, it was gifted to me from a fellow knitter who heard I was laid up. Knitters are the best-est!</div>

Little Poebe has been right by my side, and I think she is happy to have some company during the daytime. She is a bit fascinated by my cast, and when I get up she follows me almost as if she is making sure I don't fall and hurt myself. </div>
