Well, I am frustrated! I am so mad that I cannot post my pics of crocheting on here! I so badly wanted to share my work and this is disappointing. Well, I know that patience is a virtue and God is not too happy to hear me complain. wah! This is so unfair!! There, my tantrum is finished for now. My dh is working at the honey farm and yesterday, he actually brought out a comb to show our dd where honey comes from. I should have taken the wax and melted it down to make a candle but silly me, I was like a child in a candy store....fresh honey straight from the comb. That was a first for me. I am going to get more beeswax from there today for free. Then I will put my hand in candle making for the first time. I do so love the idea of making things from scratch and not having all the fun taken out by buying it from a store. I know that I have a Secret Pal out there and so I won't spoil the surprise of what I have for her. But you know, being on Crochetville really has enlightened me a great deal. To my shame, I thought crochet was a dying art and that I was catching on the tail end of it. Not to be so! In fact, crochet happens to be one of the most top fibercraft out there besides knitting. But Crochet is older than knitting, isn't it? I know the French Nuns started it and then took it to Ireland when they went over there some time in history. If I am ignorant in posting this, please feel free to correct my thinking. I do so appreciate imput from friends. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Today, on the Forum, I read that one of my fellow crocheters is suffering from a spider bite and her shoulder is out of commission, having to be immobile. I offered to help her crochet anything that she had to work on. So, she presented me with a baby blanket project for her nephew. This works for me because I will be working on a layette for my new little bundle of joy! I am thinking of a quick and easy afghan that calls for three strands of yarn and the Q hook. It works up quick and it will be cuddly too. This will be a lot of fun and I am looking forward to this project. This evening, I found out that my USB port doesn't work and I cannot download my digital camera pics to the computer. I am not happy about this. Oh well, life has its little quirks, doesn't it?

Well, back home in the Hat, my dh is at hospital for tests, my dd made a huge mess of my RH orchid yarn that I am in the process of unravelling. I had read earlier another blog where one of my fellow crocheters sister is battling Cancer of the Throat. Cancer is such an ugly disease but it affects us in different ways emotionally. But we do become depressed along with the sufferer, we hurt with them, we just wish the pain would alleviate somehow. My dd doesn't understand about Daddy being sick, she is only 3. I have found it is easier to tell her that daddy's tummy is making him hurt really bad. She is so emphatetic. When she hears her daddy vomitting in the bathroom, she looks awful worried and when he comes out she tells him, "don't worry daddy, the bug will not stay in the tummy much longer." Where she came up with that, I have no clue. Well, I sort of finished unravelling the yarn but I have to finish some more squares now. I have to get a baby layette pattern out for the baby I found out that we are going to be having in March. Both my mother and brother, not to mention my dd were all born in March. Now, our new one will join us in that wonderful month. I am so excited!
