Busy Crochet Weekend

By -

I got a lot of crocheting done this weekend. It was perfect! I finished an infant hat - one of my favorites, the Acorn Hat. It's going to Justin. I've started another one already, too. I was also intrigued by the hexagon baby sweater, so I made one of those for the doll I use as a model to show my baby items. That turned out well. The patterns I've seen call for collars and button bands. Mine doesn't have either buttons or collar. It's nothing fancy - just a sweater so the doll isn't so naked!
Not that I was spending all of my time crocheting - I did accomplish some housework this weekend too. But the crocheting was the best!


Wayne had a busy weekend, too. He's been learning to performing servicing on the air tanks at the dive shop. He will become an equipment specialist. He was working all day there, and really enjoyed the work.

Finally, the clocks have been moved ahead and our daylight will last longer. I love it when it's still light out in the evening, instead of dark at 5:00 pm! It meant an hour of sleep lost, but I didn't mind.

I have a few more hours left to myself this evening, so I think I'll get back to my hook and yarn.

    I love the acorn hat! It's adorable! Did you make up the pattern or find one online?

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 ...
