Status: offline 		I can't knit worth a damn unless someone starts the stitches for me, then it's only scarves or blankets and such. I used to crochet, learned in high school but that was 30 years ago and I can't remember how. I have to check out the local library and see if they have any how to books on either knitting or crochet.

I do a lot of beading, I'm pretty good at it. I want to learn chain maille soooo badly and make my own pieces. I have a choker i bought about 5 yrs ago that was used as my formal collar, got it for less than $40, it was reg $100, and the work and craftmanship is unreal. Now if only it would fit again.

I have so many patterns for counted cross-stitch it isn't even funny. I swear I don't have to buy another pattern for the rest of my life. But to get any of my projects going again I'ma gonna need one of those true light thingies with a magnifier so that I can see what I'm doing and be able to sort out the different colors that are so close.

I also have 5 boxes, the 2 cu foot, full of unpainted ceramic pieces that I really need to get started on. I started doing that about 15 yrs ago and the bug never left me. I give them out as Christmas gifts and have even started painting some for my niece so that she'll have a nice collection when she moves out on her own.

People who know me never thought I'd have the patience to do either the counted cross stitch or the complicated ceramic pieces I buy, but it gives me time to zone out and not get anxious. Aaaaaaaaaand I have enough paint to last me for the next 5 yrs. Although they keep coming out with new colors and I just have to have them. Then of course you have to consider the colors I use frequently and have to buy more. Right now, I'm working on a set of small ceramic Christmas pieces, I have 4-6 packs, I'm doing the penguins right now and I'm just going to put them back in the packaging, that way they won't break, wrap up each one and give it out as Christmas gifts and it doesn't matter who gets what, each 6 pack is different.

If you want to pick up knitting or crochet again, your local yarn shop would probably be glad to help you.

And I realized last night as I was typing my post, I had bags and bags of yarn I inherited when my dad's aunt passed away, didn't I get rid of it all.

I was all virtuous this past winter and got the beads maybe 90% organized. All the seed beads in ONE BOX. Which weighs something like fifty pounds... Everything else is by colour pretty much.

I wish I could crochet without mental agony... just the EDGING on a neckline has me shrieking mentally. So many steps for one freakin stitch!!

BTW, I will be off line so I can finish this ladybug.  Sewing all the other stuff I can do tomorrow.

Then its off to get the grandy squares finished and the layout done.  Have to stitch that as well.

No dishes, no cooking, no crocheting, no sewing, no laundry. 

Just me and the computer.  Had 2 screens going; Runescape and PORS.

I haven't sewn the hoodie together yet. Those raglan sleeves...so much annoyance.

Status: offline 		Okay TONIGHT will be the night of sewing the hoodie!!

And I have a sundress to sew. I bought it in Hawaii AGES ago, and it's a Mite Tite, so I am taking the long straight dress and making a knee length trapeze dress. It's all pinned, I bought matching thread, lalala. I have a blanket to sew binding onto as well. Sigh.

Status: offline 		Working on a merry-go-round baby blanket.  Bernat Softee baby yarn with a G hook, Baby Denim Marl and white.  Usually the pattern calls for a bulky weight yarn on a N hook, but I am known for making baby versions of afghans for a while now.
