What I've Been Up To

Whew, finally got a few minutes to sit and relax a bit this morning. Some of what I've been up too (crochet wise) is down below.
As some of you know I quit work last week (Oct 31) and boy it sure feels good and now I know there was a reason for it. This is one of my girls, Storm, who I usually call Stormers..(this pic is from last year, so she still has her meat on her, I just couldn't show you how bad her ribs are showing now)
Last Thursday, my first day home and after taking both dogs to the vets for updated shots (yes, we were behind) and to find out why Storm was so skinny and drinking like she was a fish. Well, we found out Storm is diabetic, so she didn't get her updated shots, she's been getting tests instead...so we've been back and forth every 3 days to visit Doc McAllister (their being great up there spreading the days out to make it alittle esier on our pockets). We just had the insulin dosage pushed up yesterday a few more cc's as her glucose is still to high. Poor thing hates the ride in the car, let alone what they do to her at the vets, she is my very nervous Nellie and shakes so bad, but she's been doing really good and we're staying hopeful. I"m hoping a dosage soon will work out for her cause with one less paycheck its getting hard. Then leaving Lady at home is becoming hard also, she cries cause she wants to go too...lol We'll see how she is on Friday..Lady has to go with us then as she needs her nails clipped and she just will not let us do it.
So when I'm not at the vets I have been cleaning, trying to organize and going through everything here at home, kinda one room at a time. Things that I never had the real time to do before. Their is some crochet time, like this morning waiting for the shot hour to come up..I made a couple of these for my Etsy store. Cute Dress Corner Bookmarks...

I want to swap the colors around for the next two I do (there is a green one to)..Also hoping to pick some ribbon up this weekend if I can so I can finish my dog bone stockings. Yes, I'm trying to get ready for all the swaps going on and Christmas is definitely on my mind..kinda hard not too when Mike & Rob have been so busy setting, building and what have you for the Polar Express that goes around our living room wall. :) Hope that gets alittle more done this weekend too, just so I can get some of the box's out of the living room. I will definitely post that when its time and we'll have a video of it too.

Oh I also finished my FFBE bag...Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! I really was beginning to think I was jinxed with that bag, everytime I would want to work on it something else would happen that I couldn't..lol It is on its way now to ...only one state over from me but I can't say just yet, just in case. :) I just really hope she likes it and can use it still.

Well I gotta get off here, get back to doing the things I wanted to get done today...Hope you all enjoy the rest of the week! Happy Crafting!! C-ya in the swaps!
