I am very happy, it is spring and most of all I am
crocheting again!!!! The last 18 months
were a difficult time for me as my mother was experiencing a difficult time
with Alzheimer’s and took up a lot of time.
Sadly, she died the beginning of July at 89 years, it was a beautiful
peaceful passing and we are all grateful for that. She had a good life. Things
are becoming normal again, Yay! So, you will see more of me again, lol!
My focus in crochet has changed a lot, I am in love with
quick projects, baby clothes, amigurumi, Washcloths etc. No more blankets for the moment, I may finish
some that are lurking in the cupboards, but my feeling is that they can stay
there for the summer!
Today I should be mowing the lawns, they are getting
rather long, (I hate that first cut of spring!). But crochet and the sun spoke to me and I
have whiled away some time, sitting in the porch making hearts and hedgehog
pincushions. I stopped because I do need
to do the lawn as it is going to rain tomorrow and then I will have to wait
till they are dry again meanwhile they are still growing a pace. However, I thought I would write a quick post
to show willing, (diversion tactics at work here me thinks). I have been trying to do all week, but time
slips away.
Here are some examples of crochet I have completed in the
last couple of weeks

You have been busy creating Zana ... everything looks so lovely. I do love your crocheting. That is a beautiful photo of your Mum - she looked like she had a real zest for life. Its so very difficult to watch our parents age & get illnesses etc ... Life can throw us some real curve balls at times. I am glad you are back blogging again & look forward to your posts when time allows.
ReplyDeleteLovely photo of your Mum, such a beautiful smile. Lovely to catch up and see your wonderful creations. Take care.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear of your Mum's passing, and I'm glad it was peaceful at the end.
ReplyDeleteYour makes are all lovely, I especially like the teddy :)
