Crafter at Work......

Coffee, a lighted Yankee Candle, and cats.  What more could you ask for when you're sitting at the table trying to craft!!!!  Our cat Lucky, who is 11 y.o. and my "big" boy is helping me.  The Black cat on the right is my Onyx boy, he's about 2 yrs old and the Black cat eating in the background is Romeo, he's 4 y.o., and a Bombay cat.


I went outside my comfort zone of knitting scarves and shawls and decided to take a Christmas stocking class.  It was a blast!!!  This stocking is for me.  Decorating it is the most fun.

The stocking is called MIX-and-MATCH Socks from the book Knit Christmas Stockings! by Gwen Steege.  I ended up buying the book on Amazon USED.  The book is in excellent condition.


I'm still putting the Green beads on for Santa's eye and he will have a Purple nose.  I will be done decorating and will be sewing up the heel. I purchased some micro fleece to line the stocking with.

Four Months in 2016

This is April. It hasn't been a pleasant month.  I was in the hospital for 10 days, which seemed like a year. I went in with severe stomach pains.  I've had this condition for over a year, but, the tests the GI Dr. did, had not shown anything.  This time, when I went to the ER, I was bloated quite a bit.  I felt like I was having sextuplets!!!! In the ER, the nurse hooked  me up to the machine that shows heart rate, BP & oxygen level.  Well, I knew I had a heart problem, but the Dr.'s never caught the fibrillation, until that morning.  The heart rate was all over the place.  The nurse asked me if I was ever diagnosed with an irregular heart beat.  I said no, but, I knew something was wrong since my 50's. I wore a heart monitor until the day before I was discharged. Now, I know for sure.  I'm on Zaralto ( I can be just like Arnold Palmer, when I grow up!!!) and a heart rate pill.  Life is GRAND!!!!! My stomach pains:  I was sent for a CT scan and the
