Still Around

Thought I would type an update since I'm currently not being very active in the groups I belong to. I'm still on the road to recovery. Should be able to drive starting this weekend or early next week. I'm still waiting for my employment benefits to start paying. I don't understand why the government has to be so slow but yet as soon as you get a job you have to start paying into the government taxes, too bad we could say oh well I think I will make the government wait for 2 weeks before they can apply to take my taxes off oh and since they don't have enough hours they can't take any off -- lol!

I am still looming up a storm. Since I've been home from the hospital I've made a few Victorian Lace Christmas balls, a couple more Knifty Bells, an Eyeglass case for my mil's boyfriend and a scarf for my my new step-father.

I am currently working on towel toppers and wash clothes. Only 7 nights left then it will be the big day. My mom is suppose to be coming on the 19th but the weather sounds as if it may prevent that guess I will have to wait and see what Friday brings.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a very blessed New Year!

hugs,
Cindy

Home

Just wanted to let anyone who is reading my blog know that I am back home from the hospital. My hysterectomy went very well. The fibrous mass had my uterus around 20 times it's normal size.

I am just in the healing stages now so I don't know how much I will be posting but I am home and on my way to a full recovery now.

Thanks for any prayers I've received they are very comforting!

hugs and blessings,
Cindy

Been a Few Days

I know it has been a few days, but nothing much has happened since I last posted. I did loom a mobius shawl for my 19 year old daughter to wear to her fiance's Christmas party and today I finished up an angel for my co-worker and two bells for my boss' kids for Christmas. Since I won't be back to work until after the holidays I figured I better get something together for work as Tuesday will be my last day until sometime in January.

I still have my daily pain, but for the most part my cold is gone except for the occasional cough, but it isn't nearly as bad as it was last week.

Okay I am off to try to make myself a new pair of slippers for the hospital as the red ones I made are a little light for wandering around in.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day!

hugs,
Cindy

Knifty Baby Booties

I finished my second little bootie earlier today, but I had hoped to have a hat pattern to go with them, but the little hat didn't turn out so I will work on that later.

You can download the pattern for these little booties from the side panel.

They are very basic, but I hope they will be useful to someone.

Hugs,
Cindy

P.S. Don't forget to leave me a comment if you download this pattern!

Quick Update

Just a quick little note to let anyone reading know that I am already feeling better and the cold is quickly disappearing thanks to the Echinilin that I take to boost my immune system. I still have a cough but that should be gone by the time I go to my pre-op appointment on November 25th.

I am working on creating a newborn bootie with a heel on the knifty flower loom. This is going to be just a basic pattern which I hope to develop further as I practice new stitches etc, but for now it is going to be a start in my pattern creations.

hugs.
Cindy

Under the Weather

Wouldn't you know it. I get my surgery date all set up and this morning I wake up with a cold coming on. Only managed to work 6 1/2 hours today. Between the pain and the cold I just couldn't handle being there for longer than that.

I am going to go to bed early tonight and hopefully when I wake up I'll be feeling better.

I only managed to knit 2 more bells between last night and tonight so I may try to get another one or two done then I will head off to bed.

Thanks for reading my ramblings.

hugs,
Cindy

Loom Class Projects

These are just a sampling of what I've been working on since Sunday! So far I've done one angel, two wreaths, 3 bells and 10 candy canes. I really need to get working on my wreaths and bells though as I still need another 20 wreaths and 7 bells to give away for Christmas. I plan on making the wreaths as napkin holders / pins, so each family member can have one as a special little gift. Our families have grown too large to buy each other presents anymore but I still like to make sure everyone gets something, so this year it is going to be something I knitted, hopefully it will mean a little more than something purchased.

Thanks for having a look!

hugs,
Cindy
