I can't believe it's nearly the end of 2011. 2011 has been such a big change for me. There have been lots of ups and downs but I finally feel like I'm in a place where I'm happy with me. My CFS has been difficult and since being diagnosed in 2009 my condition has worsened but since finding crochet my mental state with the disease has been a lot better. I would recommend for anyone with CFS to learn a new craft. You have...

I've been knitting :)
Wow I have started to learn to knit. My son was staying with his Nana last night so whilst it was quiet I decided to give it a go. Now it took a couple of goes to get started without dropping stitches, I've made a few mistakes but I don't think I'm doing too bad seen as it's my first go:Yes i can see all the mistakes when you take a look at it. I will probably frog it and try again but I am feeling a little more confident at learning...

I want to start in a different way this week. I want to look at positives in negatives. As you all know I suffer from C.F.S. (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or M.E.). There are lots of negatives that go along with this disease. I may have had a stomach bug for a week and now my kidneys are grumbling but I have found a number of positives this week.
