Stalled Again on the Infant Pants!

By -

Did you ever just "hit the wall" on a crochet project? You're cruising along just fine, and all of a sudden it takes everything you have to make yourself pick up your project and work on it. The sweater and hat were fine to work on. But I'm about ready to tell the kids the sweater and hat are all they are going to get, and these pants will be relegated to the UFO (unfinished objects) pile. I don't know - I'm just...in a rut? Tired of single crochet? Need to take a break and work on something else? All of the above? The problem is that if I don't finish them in a timely fashion, they will be out of fashion, or won't fit Justin anymore.



I think it's time to take a look through my pattern stash and see if there isn't something small to work on to break the monotony. Maybe a few days break is what I need.

Speaking of Justin, I guess he's going to be with his other grandmother tonight. The kids are going out, and they invited my younger DS Tom to go out with them. I hope they all have a good time.

They're calling for snow this Sunday into Monday. I hope it's a good one! As much as I can't wait for spring to arrive, one really good snowstorm would be great. A day off from work - yippee! I think Sunday evening there will be a run on the stores for bread, milk and eggs. Everyone wants French toast! Go figure!

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 ...
