I had so many appointments last week plus grocery shopping and weeding and walking every day. Each day I walk a little farther and I hope to increase my stamina. By the time I get back to the house my back and hips are feeling it!
The deeds, power of attorney for medical and financial is done plus insurance company changes. It was a lot of running around last week but worth the peace of mind. Now, once I get all the copies sent back to me, I will set up a notebook like Far Side (Connie) did for her daughter.
I got a little cleaning and clearing done in the living room and no cross stitch at all. I think I was burnt out and I really wanted to crochet. I did start a ripple blanket but the colors are too bright. I was wanting to make one in Cath Kidson colors. I saw a granny square one and I like it but the colors I have are too bright especially the yellow. My Aunt Bernice (who basically raised me) used to make ripple afghans all the time. I think she got the kits from Hershner's. It's an easy pattern to memorize except for the corners and turning. If I make a mistake in crocheting, it is always at that point so I am careful. I was looking for a "mindless" crochet project for when I watch t.v. I like the ripple but not the colors. Maybe I'll need to order yarn....heaven forbid!
Here are some of the ones I like...........I think it's the bright green and the bright yellow that's turning me off and maybe it would be better suited to a granny square blanket....any suggestions? I've also thought about making yarn balls with all my scraps using the magic knot method and doing a granny stripe. I need to hurry up and get a project for evenings....I'm not good at just sitting with nothing to do. I have other projects but they are not mindless and I am watching The Crown at night.
Oh, I have a new method for organizing my cross stitch floss that I will share with you as soon as I get the supplies for it. Maybe that's what I'll do in the evening as it would be mindless for sure! LOL!
I personally don't have this problem since I have a degree in computer science.....unless it's my cell phone and then I have to call my grandson! LOL!Happy Trails!!!
