Newest project

I do not normally folllow a pattern for my market bags. I prefer to just improvise.

But tonight I started this one:
www.sugarncream.com/pattern.php?PID=133

So far it is quite easy to do.
I chose a darker green colored yarn, I think (Not sure) that it is Red Heart but not 100% sure on that.
Will post updates as i go along with it.
Unfortunatly I cannot post photos yet, but will when I get the camera back!!

My Camera (good news!)

Today in searching the Canon website for information on my camera, we discovered something interesting. The problem with my camera is a known issue and they will pay for it to be shipped to them, fix it and send it back to me, all for nothing! I am one happy camper, my camera will be fixed!!

I am thrilled!! A photo junkie going through withdrawls. I keep reaching for the camera to take a photo and realize it isnt working..but now I can send it in and have it fixed!

Doing the happy dance!!!

Sunday...Snow Day

its Snowing, oh fun...NOT. Now dont get me wrong. I love the snow. I am just not in the mood for it today is all.

My Job's Tears came yesterday, and with it a flood of memories and emotions. Many years ago I spent summers at my grandmothers home. While there we made necklaces and many other things out of Job's Tears. Among other things. But all these years those Job's tears memories have stayed with me. And Until now I didnt know where to find any (grandmother passed away almost 10 years ago so her plants are long gone).

So later int he spring, when it is safe to plant, I will plant a few Tears...and probably some real ones along with the seeds. I want to pass those memories along to my daughter.

Crochet; this got put on temporary hold. I am so far behind working on coupons. Some days i wonder if i will ever be fully caught back up, or even why I do them in the first place. But I know why...it is to help others save money. and that is important to me. helping others.

If everyone in the world would do one thing per day to help someone else, this world would be a much better place.

Thursday

Sun is shining, wind is blowing..and today I am feeling a little better.

Able to get a load of laundry done today...and working on coupons.

Later today will pick yarn and a hook and start another market bag.

other than that, not getting much done.

Ever get the blahs?

The last couple days I have had the blahs. the "feeling tired, worn out and in the dumps" blah. Tried crocheting, didn't work well. tried working on the "learn to knit" failed badly.

Been making crochet dishcloths, Do not know why, have a mountain of them already done. Guess it is because they are easy to do and fast.

My home is full. overflowing full. Son and his wife living here, and now Daughter has come back from her dad's. My stress levels are through the roof and so is blood pressure. the house is not meant for 5. crowded.

Have been thinking of making up market bags to sell. Everyone that sees them asks where I bought them and seemed quite surprised that I make them. I do not use patterns, just whatever stitch catches my fancy. things to think about for sure.

In the meantime I am still winding yarn into cakes. I will never get done. ever!

On a side note, I am wondering how long I will keep up this blog thing. Have told a few about it, but no one comes to visit it. makes me wonder if anyone really cares.

Broken Hearted

Day before yesterday I took photos of that market bag and wondered why they didnt turn out well.
Well, Today I know why.
My Camera is messed up. Seems the lense is stuck wide open and nothing I do fixes it.

Cant afford to fix it. Can't afford to replace it.

I am a photo junkie! what will I do!!

Newest market bag

I have made abother market bag. My son calls it Chocolate Cake with Icing.

Photo is not the best, will try to get another soon. Bag is worked in chocolate brown with off white top and handle.
