Story of the Week and Stash Enhancement I have done a lot of finishing since i last podcast. I have also stashed some stuff.

On wednesday this week i had my loop recorded removed, yah, but am little tender. I also got a hair cut yesterday if you haven't noticed, I am going nature. It is little unnerving, but, I am tired of chasing the gray away. It has been 40 years since i was natural. I kind of curious to see what is under the color.

Last weekend my computer died. That is why podcast is a day late.

Today is Apple Day in our house. Ted and I ventured out at 430 this morning to go to Apple store. It was a great experience, we were first in line,. Ted got the new phone and I got a new computer. It is lovely and one of my favorite stashes.

Story of Week and Stash Enhancement  Over the last 2weeks I have done little stashing, and finishing. A little MOJO burst. 
I want to shout out a fellow Youtuber who I watch. She is a crocheter and yarn hoarder extraordinaire. She also does a lot of giveaways. Please go and check out  Bag-o-Day Crochet and more. on Youtube and Facebook if you crochet some, or love all kinds of yarn.You won't be disappointed.
We had a Labor Day party with all the kids and grandkids, the pool got some action, and we enjoyed the last of summer. Bring on the sweaters and cool nights.
I was invited by AngintheEast to join a WIP along with the Crimson Stitchery Podcast group and I joined in because I have a few languishing WIPs I need to finish. Here is the link
WIP along, if you are interested in clearing the needles, and not frog.

Story of Week and Stash Enhancement Got some more new yarn, thanks to Bag-o-Day Crochet and more.
I finished an object and started another. My MOJO is pretty low. I seem to get to a point in a project, then don't want to finish, have to force myself to work on them. Hope this passes soon. Have been vicariously knitting the Rug sweater, and a baby dress for Marlee.

New yarn and hooks. New squirrels as well. 

Ted is plugging along. He will finish his day program on Friday. He will then continue his Physical Therapy 2 x a week in outpatient rehab. We will also continue exercising and progressing at home. Ted is very determined to fully recover. 

He had 9 days at hospital in Florida, 23 days in rehab hospital and 4 and a half months of day institute. He has come a long way, but still has much more to accomplish. Please continue to lift us up and especially the Right arm.

Story of Week and Stash Enhancement
Got some Stash, and some more is coming. I had a couple squirrel moments where I got distracted by a project that I wanted to do, started and didn't like or it just was to big or I made mistakes in pattern, both were crochet projects. Did more uncrocheting then actual crocheting.
Ted had a Heart Cath and 2 stents placed in heart on Monday, came home on Tuesday with some restrictions for a few days. He is back to normal and feels the difference in his endurance. So we keep moving forward.

Story of Week and Stash Enhancement  Over the last 2 week, I got some stash and some gifts. I started some new crochet projects to try new Hooks, and finished a few things.
We had a great 4th of July Celebration here, with Teds Kids, and grandkid and friends. It was noisy and the pool was well used. Good food and fun for all.   Work is steady and so is Ted. He has graduated from the leg brace, able to walk without it now. Still using cane.

Story of Week and Stash Enhancement Have some stash, which will be shown in video.

There have been some changes in my WIPs this time. I frogged the LacyYoke Sweater. was not happy with the way it was knitting up, or the process. That yarn is hopefully finally becoming what it was meant to be. 

Everything else is status quo. Ted is starting to have increased pain in his Right arm, but is continuing therapy. Baby steps right now.
