While Waiting at the Doctor’s Appointments
I am not a person who can just sit idle in a doctor’s office without getting antsy.
I love to take my crocheting with me so that I have something to keep me busy and keep my mind off of why we are there.
I have found that it keeps me focused and makes the time go by so much faster.
We had several weeks of  back to back appointments so here is my creations.
My inspiration was the scarf that Mikey had as a challenge at https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Crochet-Crowd/116482731742088 The Crochet Crowd.
A hat to keep my head warm. Â Fingerless Gloves with a hat of their own lol. Â The shimmering heart scarf.
Some of my projects that I am working on are just too large to transport so I have to find little things to fill the void.
With my Kindle Fire I can download my pattern and take it with me.
I have also picked up many new prospective students too, who want to learn to do what I am making.
Let me know how I am doing so far…would love to hear from you.
What is your latest project? Â Share it with me please.

Daily Prompt B+: What I did last Weekend?
Daily Prompt:Â B+
Write about what you did last weekend as though you’re a music critic reviewing a new album.
Prelude: Â Has a woman sitting at her desk asking herself what she really did last weekend. Â It was only one week ago.
Track One:
Hubby goes to grocery store on post and has a panic attack before he finishes grocery list and hurries home with ribs (not on list) and half of the grocery list. Â Not a great track here. Â No happy dancing here.
Track Two:
Wife slowly puts away few groceries and finishes cleaning the house..Not an exciting track here at all.
Track Three:
Time to feed the animals again. Â They eat three times a day in small portions. This track is a bit better. Â At least a little better dancing.
Track Four:
Time to blog of course since Daily Prompt never takes a break. Â This is definitely a better dance track while working.
Track Five:
This track is all about getting in a shipment from Tupperware and Scentsy that I had to inventory and stamp catalogs. Â Not very exciting but very necessary since we were out of catalogs and only had Canadian Catalogs no USA ones. This track had a bonus track with it.
Track Six:
This is where Tammye Honey decided that she was hungry and made dinner. Â A simple track but easy to follow.
Track Seven:
Short track of time to do the dishes. Â Only wish I had a dishwasher.
Track Eight:
Time to relax and watch some tv while crocheting a light evening of quiet time snuggled in the bed with two dogs and a cat.
Hope this leaves you in a relaxed mode to be able to continue and read what other Daily Prompt Writers had to say on this subject:

Basics of Crocheting Class
I wanted to do a Power Point to see if I could start to give instructions and link them on my Word Press Blog so that my students would have a reference point once they were home to look up any questions that they had and were afraid to ask or forgot my number. Â This is a test for the future to see if it will work or if I have a lot of bugs to swat out of my path before I perfect my mess.
Just two creative ideas that come complete with the yarn included…
Latest Project
Sorry that my blogs have not been ongoing. I have had a slew of new projects to finish and deadlines to complete them all.
A copy cat diaper bag which I literally made the pattern from an existing bag as I drew it out on a cardboard box for my pattern….
Finished and is delivered to a happy customer.
My next series is a slew of television throw blankets for the grandchildren to cuddle with while watching their favorite programs that will be made in their favorite colors. The variation will be that they will be made without the hearts on them.
This is one of the new Red Heart Patterns LW 3240 if you are a crochet fan it is a free download http://redheart.com/free-patterns/be-my-valentine-throw
The nice thing is that this pattern can be changed since the hearts are sewn on so that you can put what ever shape or letter in it’s place…
Back to crocheting since we have so many grand children….

Have a great day and thank you for reading…. Will be back when finished with pictures better yet will update as I go along lol…
Moving right along with project…
Don’t think I like the heart with it glad I did not make more….
Back to work so will update you later…
Here is my first attempt at making a video and trying to hold a camera with my chin while I crochet. Did not come out on YouTube like I would like so I will be trying again soon…

As an update on the latest project and a heads up that a pound of love is not equal to 4 skeins of yarn…I am in gauge with this pattern although I do not have enough yarn to make it to the finished project. The pound of love only made it a slight bit over the half way mark.
This is the other project that I have also began to finish so that I do not get bored with crocheting. I switch off between two projects so that I still love to work with yarn.
The girls are supportive as usual…
Just that Peachy is camera shy while Trina will knock you over to get her picture taken… If you would like to join our group on Facebook….and add your latest craft pictures of what you are doing….feel free to join…it is open to the fellow crafter’s…
