I had an MRI a couple weeks ago...

I saw my doctor at the pain clinic last week.  
(I have to say I love him, he is like a tall, skinny, kinda nerdy Marcus Welby)
(Does anyone remember Marcus Welby? )
Have been having neck issues again, losing feeling in my hands.

Not good news.

Meeting with Dr Davis tomorrow.
He is the neurosurgeon that fused my spine. 
I don't know if he will recommend surgery or not.
But thinking they wouldn't refer me directly to the surgeon if something is up.

I doubt I will sleep a wink tonight. 

Mermaid tail!

I made a mermaid tail blanket for my great niece. 
Hope Miss G loves it. 
I didn't have a pattern, just winged it.
Love how it turned out.
Her mom requested it as a birthday gift,
 but she is so excited, she said she might have to give it early! 

I made this little  pillow for my niece for Christmas.
(i took the pic before I stitched the bottom closed.)

I love how it turned out. 
:)  
I should sew more now that I am unemployed retired.

My latest finish

A pink, gray, and white afghan for my soon-to-arrive great niece :)  

I used Caron simply soft yarn, 100% acrylic so it will be nice and soft and easy care

April? really?

My last post was in April.
Oh my!
If I was younger I could have made a baby in all that time. 

But I didn't.
I made some baby afghans instead.

I made this custom baby blanket for the granddaughter of a friend. 

Used this pattern

(love love love Lucy's wonderful blos!)

and some thick washable acrylic yarn, I love how it turned out.

Piper is all warm and cozy now.

a few things I have been working on

..

Only 5 months since my last post

Last time I wrote anything  it was hot and Jill was heading off to college.

Now its cold and snowy and Jill hated school. So proud of her that she finished the semester. I know she was miserable there. So now she is home, living on the couch (lol)  and taking some classes at the local tech college. She can regroup, tour some schools this spring and go from there.

Here are a couple of the things I made lately.  A baby blanket with chenille yarn, for the most handsome baby boy!  His mom and dad didn't know what they were having, so I made it boy or girl friendly. And since he was born in January, I knew it had to be cozy.

I finally figured out the waffle stitch. Pretty easy once I actually found a pattern! I had a cone of sage green cotton yarn I got on clearance ages ago. Make a cushy bathmat.
