Story of the Week and Stash Enhancement surprise, Got some Ice Yarn stash. 
I have been doing a lot of crochet. It seems to settle me right now, and also, I am simple doing what I want. I see a project, and I look at stash and say, yes, lets do this thang. 
I have been off my eatting plan and have gained alittle back, but you guys, thing are very crazy and work is stressful, and i want sugar. 
If things don't change, I will be looking for a new job, because I am not a sheep.

Story of the Week and Stash Enhancement     I has been over a month. Work has been busy as well as disjointed, and I am not happy in it.  I also feel there are spirits at war right now and it has affected me mentally and spiritually, and has been weighing me down. I'm sure i am not the only one feeling this. 
I have 4 finished objects, and some stash that Ted gifted me for a crochet sweater.

Story of the Week and Stash Enhancement What a busy, health issue 2 weeks it has been. My heart cath came back totally clean, got the monitor done, but have heard no report. Ted spent the night in hospital on Sunday with back pain. All reports are that it is a pulled muscle. 
Got some stash and a finished object that is off to a great niece. Pictures will be included. 
Work is very slow. I am working only 2.5 hrs daily on good days. I have applied for a few jobs, that will be lower pay, but i think I will be happier in them. This last year I have learned to make do on less.
I didn't mention last time but I have been doing a lot of crocheting because I enjoy it but also because of Crochet in May by KristyGlassKnits.

Story of the Week and Stash Enhancement Well here I am another month with no podcast. Maybe that's why so few people are watching. Or they, like me are so distracted by the care of our world. 
I have some stash and a FO to show. I also have started 4 new wips. I have decided to work on and start the things I want and revisit old wips if i want or frog them, or repurpose them into something alittle different. Life seems to be too short to work on stuff that does not make me happy.

Story of the Week and Stash Enhancement. Sorry I have been MIA. But Life. I have had Low MOJO at times, a little episode of back pain, which I think was corrected by a fall that was hard enough to alert my Apple watch to ask if I needed ambulance. i have also been going down some rabbit holes on youtube regarding the state of our world. 
Ted and I also spent a week in Florida and got back on this past Sunday.
 I got a little stash, but chose not to go th the Destin Yarn store this year. Went to Hobby Lobby instead.
