SO I am back

Ok so the surgery was OK. I had a tumor on the skull bone over my left eye and thank goodness it was in my hair line. I had to have that section of skull removed and filled in. The tumor was benign and all is over. I had a hard time with the medicines they had me on but have managed to get back to work and back to stitching. I just started the Gothic Lace Shawl.
This is how far I have gotten. It is a fun project. I believe that I have choosen the wrong thread but I don't mind since this is a test. I hope to have it completed soon and move on to a more dressy thread. I completed a small bead crochet bag that didn't turn out quite the way I had hoped. But it is cute. It is the size of my cell phone. I have been bead crocheting a small eye glass case too. It is turning out much better. I will post pics soon of those.

Prior to surgery I had completed these

Out of Commission awhile

Due to medical needs I will be out of commission awhile. I have a 20mm by 5mm tumor on my Skull. They will be removing a portion of the skull bone and replacing it with a plate of steel or titanium. This will put me down a bit and hopefully there will be no cancer. If you need me contact my email over to the right. Thanks.

New Year and NEW Things

Hello,

I have been really busy since the second week in December. We were in FL. for two weeks between Christmas and New Years. I was able to finish a new Arrow Shawl from Annette Petavy. I love those things. I believe I have done 4 now. I also have finished this hat

I also designed this shawl that I call Fiesta Wrap.

I recently finshed a pair of Fingerless mittens and a scarf for a friend. Pictures to follow.

Holiday Season is upon us

I am in shock. I drove through my town last week after Halloween and there it WAS!!!!!!!! Christmas decorations in town and the TREE. I think that stinks. It is just too early. I am so far behind too on gifts. I am making most of the gifts I have this year and WOW am I behind. I have been busy though. I finished this bag about 3 weeks ago.


It was a mistake made good. I was suppose to have a cowl our of this and MY HEAD is just too big. UGH.

AGAIN an attempt at Cowls got me this Bag

Don't get me wrong. I like the bags but My neck is going to freeze this winter. UGH
Scarves work so much better.

October and where did the year go?

DANG!!!! It's already Fall and today is chilly so I can't really see it's coming. Winter is around the corner. Is this good - yes and no. I love the cold but will miss shorts. I have been really busy working on stuff. I wanted so bad to finish several projects and am having a hard time doing so. Seems just too busy. I have finished these though.

Hopefully I can get the rest of the Pictures up here soon. Hope you have a great Halloween..!

Busy Bee this month.

Althought it has been a REALLY busy month, I have managed to get somethings complete.
I finished this and this . This is the Arrow Shawl from Annette Petavy . I did two of them for the simple fact I was experimenting. I have issues with Wool so I used cotton the first time. An egyptian cotton and then I switched to what the shop told me was a finger weight and I think it is Feather weight. This is the size of a scarf....LOL. I also have worked on these. and . I finised a sweater that I had to work on a bit.

September

With all the storms rolling through you would think I could get some Crocheting done. I wish!!! I have managed to Knit a Cowl I designed. Knit a Scarf I designed and a Neck Cowl that Buttons that I designed. I switched to knitting for a break. I am working on a CAL with Ravelry for the Turnberry Cardigan by TheCrochetDude. I can't wait to move on with it. I have so much I want to do but so little time. Recently we lost our Washer and Dryer and this weekend I lost the Refrigerator in our kitchen. UGH. We lost all our food and had to replace everything. One more day in paradise. Things Happen. So soon I will have some patterns available, hopefully!!
