264: a crafty challenge

hey all y'all blogging moms, mamas, mommas, and mommies.

i have a crafty challenge for y'all.

i'm thinking this will be a fun one. hoping. praying. :-)

for everyone who said they want to take up a hobby, do it!

something fun with a low learning curve.

like the baskets. LOL

it took a few tries for me to get a decent one but you do get a basket (of sorts) on your first go. if you stick with it.

and it can be a small one.

any way, learn something that will generate an item or two. then you can proudly display your stuff on your blog and your window sill. or bedroom dresser. or give them as holiday gifts.

and no, making snowflakes with the kidddies doesn't count.

our library has all kinds of instructional DVDs. maybe your's does too. (oooh, speaking of the library, i've got a few overdue items. not good.)


so get at it y'all and show us some pictures!

 Hi y'all. I hope everyone is happy, healthy, and safe. For the most part, we are. But sometimes, I'm sad. Grandma transitioned in December.  Life goes on but all is tilted sideways.  I'm waiting for the world to right itself.  ðŸ’”

374: life in the E.R.

hey y'all. i dunno why i can't seem to avoid popping into the emergency room every six months or so. my most recent visit was the wee hours of this very morning. in a freaky accident brought about by the search for my cell phone, i stabbed myself in the hand with one of the tiny steel crochet hooks i use to crochet jewelry (and other stuff). baby bliss began to cry and immediately jumped up to tell mr. bliss. (who had just gone to bed because he's on night shift this week.) i poured on some eucalyptus oil (so i wouldn't get infected) and tried to pull the hook out. it was stuck on something (a vein? an artery?) and hurt like hell so i stopped pulling. it had also begun to hurt and i realized it hadn't hurt going in. i heard it more so than felt it. weird huh? baby bliss cried the whole 10-minute drive to the hospital. i guess i was the first crochet hook impalee that the pair in admittance had ever seen. they made faces and oohed and aaahed at my pre...
