I am Alive!

Well I think I finally kicked the "funk" I was in...Thanks to all who emailed!! It did help and got me blog surfing some. Sorry if I was short or a real downer, but didn't want to take everyone down with me. Boy I really hate getting like that and "I" usually don't, but when I do, I lay low. Think it was more worrying (something I don't usually do) than anything and Storm having a few of those spells that really had me concerned and Lady almost killing us both on the stairs when the whole thing started. Storm was definitely by my side the whole week...Then a couple days later Storm was funked out again and same day our heater decided not to work correctly (which it did finally kick in and start blowing instead of just running doing nothing) don't know what its problem was, but its working fine now..lol Murphy's Law maybe, gotta love it or in my case, try to hide from it..lol

I did gets lot of crocheting done so I do have lots of pic's to show. I'll start by saying Storm is fine! As long as I make sure she eats before she gets her shot we're okay. Guess I'm gonna wind up making doggie treats cause I've been going through lots of em to put in her food for those days she doesn't and when you have to do for both, they go quick! Stubborn kids...lol

So I finished quite a few projects, lots of it for my Gift Along List for the month of January. I finished 2 projects for that, first is the Welts,Beads & Popcorn (B4 look alike in crochet) bag

I made my first sewn in pocket so know now how to do that! Put it in before you felt! lol

Second project for the gift along: Mary Jane Slippers..

This was the second pair of Mary Janes Slippers without a strap on this one, didn't like using the Bernat Chunky on this at all..very holey and harder to work with then the Homespun,which surprised me.

Then I pattern tested this bag for Suzetta

and then made this bag out of one of my Crochet World magazines. Its called Golden Fleece but as you can see mine is not Golden...lol Its blue & gray heather in Cascade 220. Took long time to felt it and still looks alittle undone yet, but it'll work I think. Then I made a Kittie Cuddle,

which this thing was huge...lol (sorry for the glare from the dryer) I didn't do all the rows either, but both my cats could be in this and still have LOTS of room. I did bend the side in as Electra likes to lay on the sides so it was folding over on itself, think with her little afghan (big granny square) in there and she'll be lots happier. Definitely too big for my desk!

Then I made these

to restock in my Etsy Store, am trying to make some more in other colors also, (these aren't up in the store just yet, haven't gotten that far), but you all know I take requests or custom orders. I am limited to colors at the moment, but do have a dark green and a light green to make yet. I do like making these, as they work up fast and always come in handy. Make great last minute gifts too. Now if I can get some more bead work done I'll be okay. Trying to get more sock/lace size done up, plus finish my Fat Bottom Bag for the last thing on my Gift List for January. Need to make a February list also. Then I just need to figure out which afghan I'm making for the quarterly challenge...whew, how to keep the mind busy!

Dang, then the Cocoa Swap, wow...all those who put in their marsmellow creations..hard deciding there which to choose! So many talented marshmellow creations, but I've narrowed my decision down to 3 or 4...lol I would've loved to do one myself, but those are my doggies favorite things and I didn't want to tease them with working on a creation. (Just so you know why I don't have one in there). Especially Storm, she loves marshmellows!

Well for those of you that made it through this whole post, Thank you! I do hope everyone has a great week ahead!! I'm so jealous of those who got even the slightest little bit of Snow, but Thank you for posting your snow pic's! It was really nice just to look at!

Well off I go......enjoy your day!!
