hats :)

I love making hats now
love color
and how quickly I can finish a project.

warm weather crochet

I have been making dish cloths.
A little more spring friendly than a big project.
I used Premier Cotton Fair yarn, a cotton/acrylic blend. I usually use 100% cotton. 
Am trying to get a little inventory built up before a craft show this fall. 
(still need to work my ends in, my least favorite task)

Cream colored ski hat

got a custom order! 
 hmm, looks a little wonky and twisted at the top,
 its actually straight.
 need to notice that stuff before I post.

Its my version of the one Chloe Kim wore in the Olympic


:)

chunky aqua ski hat

a red hat

made this hat today. 
will probably remake the pom pom, its a little limp. 

6 weeks

I am 6 weeks out from surgery. 
I had 2 discs removed along with my old hardware. He added 2 bone grafts *, 2 titanium plates, and 8 screws.  

*(please consider organ and tissue donation, you never know who you might help to live a better life!) 


My scar is hideuous.  I hope it fades quickly. At least when winter comes I can wear scarves and turtlenecks. 

And oh the bills!  We have a high deductible and copay, but thank God for insurance! 

Overall, I feel terrible. I am exhaused all the time. I can honestly say I have never felt as crappy - physically- as I do now. I don't sleep well and pain is difficult to control, tylenol doesn't do it and I don't want to take the prescription stuff they gave me. That was fine for a few days after surgery, but not for everyday. 

It will get better, I know that, I am just ready to be better now. 

I am home

Pain is under control,
Neck brace is going to get old fast.

The incision is ugly,
Glad the worst is behind me!
But I am tired.
