So, it's been well over a month, I don't know where the time goes, but I think everyone must feel that way.

 I have two baskets full of these old magazines, it is so funny to look at the ads. I enjoy some of the patterns in them though.

 This baby sweater set was in one of them. Our grandchildren's cousin is having a baby, the first of that generation in our family so I made this for it although I don't usually crochet with yarn, preferring lace.

Also this doily, which was just for fun.

 David got me this book of sweater patterns for our wedding anniversary, I don't have the yarn to start any of them yet, and don't know when I will have so I have been killing time with knitting dishcloths. Ambrosina will probably be needing some soon.

I also crochet this little hat for another baby gift.

 Obviously for a little girl!

So a couple of weeks ago I basted these three quilts. There are only 4 more in the unquilted top tub. I haven't finished a new top for several months. I guess I'd better get busy.

This one is the first under the needle and it's almost done. I hope to finish it this week.

And there is this new tool, a blending board to blend the colored wool that I showed in the last post. I comb it into roving first and then blend the colors into a rolag. I have never used one before but I am enjoying it. I haven't started spinning yet, both wheels have a spin on them and I haven't had a spare wheel yet, although I did finish this ply:

Not enough for a sweater, but will work for the yoke of one. It is a very soft merino that I bought. I prefer to do my own prep, but this works when I don't have any raw wool.


It turns out David's liver lesions aren't yet a big concern although he has to have periodic ultrasounds.

His heart problems are of more concern, he spent two days in the hospital with chest pains and narrowly avoided a heart attack.

I have started exercising a half an hour a day with a video on YouTube. I am in terrible shape! I keep telling myself I will survive this, I wonder.
