Story of the Week and Stash Enhancement A lot of Stashing. If you have questions let me know. Too much to put in here.
I spent my 60th birthday in my PJs, eating cake and crocheting, and feeling sorry for myself, cause i didn't get to have a nice party. Maybe next year. 

My work schedule is very low, maybe 4 hr days if I'm lucky, which is not great on the checkbook, but Ted is doing very well with the lawn Mower repair and sells. We will be fine. I did get my nails done and had a little Michaels trip.

Ravelry Group

Crochet in May Along
Story of the Week and Stash Enhancement I have stashed a few patterns, and am hooked into a new crochet technique, that i am hankering to start. I have also been doing some yarn shopping. Have some ice yarn coming and a few skeins from Hershners, to start one of the crochet projects. 

Also it is my 6 year Podiversary.  Although it is a very small podcast with 307 subscribers, i enjoy it so much. The Ravelry group is small and not very active, but when it is, it is fun. I hope you enjoyed watching the intro. It was fun going back and grabbing the intros of the podiversarys of the last 5 years and seeing the changes. Don't know if it is better or not, just know I am still enjoying. Hope you are as well. Tinna Thorudottir Thorvaldar
