Friday Morning Weekly Progress Report

Image
Doesn't that just sound all office and professional?  Friday Morning Weekly Progress Report.   I really do go over the past week at work on Fridays and make the list for the next week.   This is a Home Progress Report though.   Afghans. Six of them. One down, five to go and the progress on each.   Because if you live in an ADD world as I do... you know one project is never enough.   Forty-five or so is really the magic number and I guarantee I have at least that many projects started around here! Some are stashed, some are blatantly staring me in the face.   These are all the ones stashed in the living room, if you don't count the doodle art projects started in the one corner behind the couch.   Shhhh, let's keep that quiet! Hopefully next Friday I will have another one finished.   One a week would take me to.... December 19th... I might h...

How It All Started

  The Linus Project   http://projectlinus.org/       That has me rapidly crocheting since Shelby informed me she is doing that project with her students BEFORE Christmas.  Me, thinking of calm January nights in front of the fireplace...     Guess not!

Not hemorrhoids, steroids!   After putting off a trip to the doctor as long as possible for this stupid cough, last week I finally broke down and went in.   I do not like the call, leave a message and wait for someone to call you back process. I do not like the drive to the doctor, I do not like the waiting in the outer office, I do not like the waiting in the inner office, I do not like the weigh-in, I do not like the blood pressure check, (always elevated because of the preceding events)   Most of all, I think that cure is going to kill me one of these times. Antibiotics and Steroids, and the subsequent, pie-eyed, no sleep nights!   However, on the bright side, I do get a lot done. Steroids must be like buying time or adding extra hours into your day, or maybe the drug Speed.   Because while I don't function at top performance on concentrating while taking them, I sure c...

Retro and Rugs

As some of you know that have been following along... I have a new project. A 1967 camper trailer that I am "fixing up" You can follow along here I have been painting and cleaning and scrubbing and digging through my stuff for retro stuff. I found these afghans and washed them up this morning. Finished this rug for the camper. Finished the blue rug underneath and started the one on top for the "living room" of the camper. Here is the kitchen area, had to set it up for this photo.
