Monday and a New Crocheted Dress for Barbie

By -

I've been having some fun making Barbie outfits. I put together an evening gown, in the same glittery yarn as the previous one - light lavender this time. It's not perfect - the dress is a little big in the bust. I'm going to see if there is anything I can do to fix it. But it turned out just fine, I think. This pattern will take some time to write out, as I'll probably be making a few little adjustments to it.

It's been a rainy Monday and I'm actually glad it was. The drive to work was a downpour one minute and a light drizzle the next. Lots of lightning flashes too. This winter has been very dry and I'm hoping that April really will bring showers - enough to bring us to normal rainfall levels. The grass is getting nice and green.

I got to babysit for Justin on Saturday, while his mom and dad went to a movie! What a darling baby! He's getting so big and strong. With his beautiful blue eyes and sweet smile, he just melts your heart! Can you tell I'm crazy about my grandson?

Fighting the Fight Again

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
