It has been a very long time since I started this blog and many things have changed since that time. I have been dealing with an illness that has taken away my balance and stability, I am no longer employed because of it, and I am struggling to continue to do the things that I love like crochet and knit. I am praying that my health will get better and I still try to complete projects however it takes me much longer and I have to ask for the help of my children or husband to finish them. I do not want to continue on being a Debbie Downer so I have to try to talk about some positive things. My youngest son is graduating from high school in May which is really exciting for us. He does not plan on going to college because he wants to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. My daughter will be finishing school a little early so we are looking forward to get her off college a little early next year. Those are the highlights in my life right now. Hopefully I will be adding some interesting items to my blog soon, I started knitting a blanket for a friend of mine that I should have completed a couple of years ago. I started last week and have completed about five inches or so I will try to post some pictures of the design I am using from the Knit 1-2-3 magazine and a picture of my progress. It will be interesting to see how long this is actually going to take to complete but hopefully she will not have to wait much longer. God's peace be with you!
