Hello everyone!!! I just thought I'd let everyone know that I am here and that I have been offline reading and trying to keep up with all that is going on here with all my friends!! I have not been well at all and am trying to stay glued together the best that I can. I want to thank my friends here who have emailed me!!! I really appreciated it and am very grateful to everyone!! As some of you know, I was in a car accident in May, and now I have another cancer scare to contend with. I made it through bone cancer once and I don't know if can do it again. This time it is in the same place in my face. I grew another polyp. I had wondered why my face kept swelling?! I thought it was just all the miserable allergies from this time of year, I guess I was wrong there!! Oh well, We'll see. Aud, I want to thank you for the picture you had sent of the lilies if you remember? Yes, that is what mine look like now. I wish I knew how to post pictures, so I can show you mine and all the projects I have finished and am in progess of here!! Thank you again. You are a sweet and wonderful person and I think of you often!! I hope all is well with you!!! The good news here is the County fair starts on Monday!! I have 3 things I am entering and I managed to talk a couple of friends into entering things also! I am SO looking forward to this! I talked to the leaders (I don't know their title) and they said that hardly anyone has been entering anything at all these last 3 years and it is very sad.(I knew that). They remembered me from the years past and they are very excited to see the things I have made. I am very encouraged to hear that! I don't know if I will be up to baking anything this year, but I will see. I am entering a crocheted afghan. It is a Mile a Minute pattern I had found and it is a varigated blue/green/purple color. It is Redheart Watercolor. I made it Queen size instead of what the pattern called for. I didn't want a lapsize afghan. I feel If you are making an afghan, make it a good sized one!! Also I am entering doily I had made for Christmas time. It is red, of course. The last thing I am entering is a round tablecloth I am still making in thread crochet.I will have it done ontime the rate it is going!?! It is a pineapple pattern I found from Annie's Attic. This is the same one I had talked about earlier in postings that has given me such a hard time! Thankfully, there is a good clear picture of it and it repeats itself! Because the pattern is not good. It is coming along beautifully!! Oh, I am using Southmaid white thread for that. And it is keeping me occupied and my mind off the pain. The other good news I have is went to the local thrift store about 3 weeks ago and I found I whole bunch of yarn and thread(crochet) that was brand new still in the package. I got the whole bunch for $2.50!! This was a whole big bag of it!!!I feel like I struck a Goldmine! The Motherlode! It was even all matching dyelots!! The next project on my list is going to be a crocheted tote or purse. I have been cutting out pictures from the ads of the newspaper for style and color ideas. I am very much looking forward to this! This will be a lot fun for me. I had better go, It is
1 in the morning here and I have to get back to bed. (All I want to do is sleep, no matter how much I get, it isn't enough.)I want to wish everyone a good weekend with good health!! Fairwinner- posted
