Story of Week and Stash Enhancement  No new stash this time. Ted and I continue to plug along. He is having some increased pain in Right arm and hand that is slowing progress. Please continue to Pray that we will start seeing more recovery, less pain.

We had a really good Easter with all the kids and Grandkids over. They brought the food, and cleaned up after. Ted spent some time in his favorite rocker and some time outside with the kids. Both was a victory. 
My Crafting has been all over the place, but I have a HO and a FO

Ted Updates: He came home on 3/25, and he is doing well. We have one fall under our belts, so hopefully that won't happen again. He is going 4 days a week to a Day Program for his Therapy.

Story of Week and Stash Enhancement No new stash.  I have done more crocheting than knitting in the last two weeks, which you will see in FOs. We had a big snow on the weekend after the last podcast. It didn't keep me from going to work on Monday however. Had a good crafting weekend. 
I have been doing little vicarious crafting and I want to share with you my newest obsession. I saw this on the Kristi Glass channel, and I can't stop looking and dreaming about making one. bypollevie
