In a Funk...

The last few months I have been working on projects that were kind of "have to" not just for fun. Seems like when ever you have something that you have to make, it takes the fun out of making it just b/c you want to.

I made a baby blanket that was requested by one of Dh's co-workers for her to give to her cousin. I made a comfortghan for one of Dh's co-workers b/c her husband passed away. I have made several squares to send to other crocheters for comfortghans they were making for someone. Then I started a comfortghan myself for my friend b/c her mom is dying of cancer. I got everything done but putting the squares together for my friends comfortghan and I just dread sewing it together b/c I haven't ever done it before and I am scared it won't turn out.


Anyway, so I haven't been wanting to crochet the last couple of weeks b/c I am burned out. I hate feeling like that b/c I love to crochet and make new things all the time. I need to get this comfortghan done in time before my friend's mom passes away, maybe I will start it tonight...


Here is the baby blanket I made:

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

The picture above is a ribbon I crocheted and added a pin to. I plan on making more and giving them to friends and family for them to wear this month. If you or someone you know has had breast cancer, you know what a horrible disease it is. I lost my mom at the age of 55 to breast cancer, it was the second time she was diagnosed with it within a 5 year period. It seems to be a growing epidemic and needs to be stopped. Be sure to make appointments to get an exam every year, it could save your life.
