WIP Wednesday

This week hasn't been as productive I'm afraid.  I did manage to finish the heart and clover charms but I haven't finished any hats.  I did finish the dinosaur scarf so my friends son now has a matching hat and scarf.  It was my husbands 40th birthday party on Saturday so last week was spent getting the house ready and sunday was spent cleaning it up again.  I was ill on Monday and yesterday so that has written off the week so far.  I'm meant to be making a surprise for a friend for charity.  I'll post some pictures when it's finished ;-)


I still have:
2 Dinosaur hats
1 Mad Red Bird hat
1 Elephant hat
in progress and I also have a beanie that I have started for my husband.
I have 2 orders to fill, 1 for a blue dinosaur hat and 1 for a mad blue bird hat.

If I get the 2 hats on order finished on Friday I'll then try and get some of the above completed.

Here are my WIP:

Apologies for rant.

Sorry for my rant the other day. I'm still not very well but more positive in my mind.
I was right some people weren't interested, even when I kept running to be sick but I'm not going to worry.
I have come to the conclusion that people will think what they will think no matter what you do.  As long as I have no regrets and live your life looking after your friends and helping people where you can then that's what life is about.

As I've  been ill I haven't been crocheting but I'm hopefully going to get a little bit done today.

As I haven't been crocheting I've been resting reading other peoples blogs. There are just so many inspirational people in the world.

After christmas is out of the way I'm hoping to join in some of the good deeds that people are doing out there.

I'll be posting my WIPs later. As soon as I've got some of them finished I'm hoping to get started on some of my YOPs that I want to make for Christmas presents.

Hope you all have a good Wednesday!

Thinking

I'm having a bad cfs day today and that's got me thinking. I've visited family today and although they knew I was tired I didn't let them know how bad I really am.  I do the same at work. If I've caught another infection I let them know or if I've got to go for treatment but on a daily basis, I don't tell them what is really going on. People don't want to know and i also think that i have this disability so i've got to get on with it. I know i am also one of the lucky ones as on a daily basis i can function better than some people.  This does however mean people don't see me as being affected.  They can't see the pain or feel the brain fuzz. They don't know that just putting one foot in front of the other feels worse than climbing a mountain. They just think it's funny that when i answer the phone i always say good afternoon instead of goodmorning. Other people think it's funny when i meant to say crisp in a sentence and i say square instead and don't realise. They don't know i can go into the cornet shop and when they ask for 75p I only give them 55p and they have to help me with the money.  People don't realise that when i went back to a supermarket that had been extended i can't go there anymore cause i can't cope with it.  I know they don't know this cause I don't tell them but i also know they don't really care anyway. Who wants to listen to someone who has always got something wrong with them? I just wish people sort of understood so that they didn't make it more difficult and saw that sometimes I do need help and what they are doing and saying makes me worse!

Fo Friday 4/11/11


It's FO Friday again :-)

I haven't been very busy this week as I've been trying to get the house sorted.  It's my husbands 40th birthday party this weekend.  I need to rest so I have managed to get some done.

I made 2 Mad Blue Bird Hats.  I wasn't sure which blue to make it in so I made a light blue one:


and a dark blue one:


I am having a table at my sons Christmas Fair.  I wanted to make something small so I decided to make some phone charms/ornaments.  I made a start on my first few.


I used the following free pattern:

http://www.kundhi.com/blog/2010/01/22/tiny-crochet-heart-pattern/

Very easy pattern to follow.


I have also found on the same site a pattern for a four leaf clover.  This pattern is also easy to follow and easy to make.  I would highly recommend her patterns!


I hope you are all having a good Friday!

I need to finish what I'm working on at the moment but I can't wait to get started on my list :-)

WIP Wednesday

WIP Wednesday


I've got a load of hats made but need to finish them off with their characters. I am also working on a dinosaur scarf.
We are getting the house sorted for hubbys 40th birthday party so i don't think I'll get as much done as I want.



I am making 2 blue mad birds :-), a mad red bird, 2 dinosaur hats and I think I might make an elephant hat with the grey hat.


I have found a mill in the area that sells wool so I am planning on making a trip tomorrow.  I am all excited!  I think I am going to try and decide what I want to make before I go and then hopefully I won't buy as much.  I am usually pretty good but I've not been to a wool shop of this size so I don't know what might happen :-)
