Another Baby Item

By -

I've decided to make another baby item for our anxiously-awaited grandson. Isn't this the cutest little baby set? The picture is from the crochet booklet Rainbow Wear for Baby - not the finished item! It's made with worsted weight yarn, which I love to work with. He will look cute as a button in this. I'm debating whether or not to add the pink (not that there is anything wrong with pink). Instead of 4 colors maybe 3 - green, blue and yellow. Or I might change the pink to a peach color. I'll make up my mind as I go along. I'm off to a good start with it, having finished the ribbed border and started the body of the sweater. I hope to have this finished by the time the baby arrives - due date is 1/18. I won't make the afghan, as he already has several hand-crocheted afghans, from me and from his maternal great-grandmother.

Back to work tomorrow - those 5 days off flew by!

    That baby set is so cute. I'm sure he will look handsome in it.
    I know what you mean about having the few days off and then back to work. Oh well, it was nice to have the time off.
    Also I thank you for the pattern of the headband. I'm going to make one of those as soon as I get the mittens done for the bridge project.
    Have a very nice day

Fighting the Fight Again

By -
I've been struggling again with depression. I've decided to try talk therapy in addition to medication. My days have been filled with tears and with an overwhelming sadness for many months now. I hope that the new medications and the therapy will make a big change in me. My singular joy in life has been visiting with my grandson. I haven't picked up a crochet hook in ages, with the exception of those chemo caps I promised to my sister in law. I finished them and sent them on their way. I will update this post with photos of the finished caps. Please forgive me for not posting on a regular basis. I do enjoy writing and miss blogging. Please keep me in your prayers, good friends.

Mystery Destination Was...

The Poconos! The surprise was blown (at least to my thinking) when I turned on the GPS to start out our trip. Up pops the address! Of course, it didn't tell DH where we were staying but it did tell him we were headed for East Stroudsburg PA! Dang! He was thinking we were headed for the Jersey shore. Then the GPS took us on a trip! I thought it would put us on the PA turnpike, taking the northeast extension. Wrong! It actually sent us up the NJ side of the Delaware River. So it was an adventure for both of us. We stayed at the Fernwood Hotel and Resort. I'd read excellent reviews and also some very bad reviews on the place. I was hesitant to book it, but it was the most reasonably priced lodging with availability on such short notice. There were restaurants on the grounds and lots to do in the resort and the surrounding area. We arrived at 10:00 pm on Friday to discover that the king accommodations we reserved in the hotel proper were not available, due to service ...
