Good morning! It is October 25th here and I have not blogged since September 6th! Wow!
I've had some health issues and actually right now I am quartining.........I was exposed to someone who tested positive. I cannot go back to work until November 2. I was tested on Friday, but have not received the results yet....and the testing was....unpleasant...
I didn't craft for awhile, but started working a couple weeks ago.....so here goes...
I have finished 4 projects since I last blogged, but only 1 of them was on the list:
This is the Perfect Pockets Shawl, this is my friend Deirdre. She has been battling cancer for the second time. She seems to be clear right now, but has a really bad case of the shingles. I knew she would love the shawl...it's got POCKETS!! All the info is in the link to my project page on Ravelry.
I made a trio of hats for a baby of a previous student. I had previously made the Yoda hat (and they just posted pictures of him in it on Facebook...so cute!) But I also made him a Zombie hat and a Pumpkin hat. His father is a fan of The Walking Dead....
