So the last week has been a bit of a whirlwind in different ways.
Last week I started to crochet a bunny. I finished that on Monday:
With needle felting bees, pumpkins and ghosts:
Knitting and Macrame I made a bracelet:
the bracelet was like the one above but was black and white rather than colourful. The main issue with the one I made was that I used glue to finish of the ends and it made it look manky. I have since found out that the cord I used can be melted so I’ll use melting to finish it off next time. Someone saw the black and white one I made and said they wanted one. So I can make that and just make it neater than the original.
Last Tuesday I was at church and saw someone I haven’t seen in years. It was great. It’s someone called Jo that I used to dance with a long time ago. She never made it to the class I did because of other things she had going on. It was great to find out what she’s been up to and how she was. I also managed to get some healing that night too which is always good for a little boost. So that and seeing an old friend was a great little pick me up. It was well and truly needed. I’ve been a bit low recently due to pain and other things that seem to go through my head, most of them I know are stupid but can I stop thinking about them, NO!
I also found out last week the the mother and grandmother of some other friends had passed on. I felt for the family especially knowing what other things they had going on. It reminded me of the pain I felt when I lost my grandparents. It’s hard to deal with that sort of thing. I know they’re still around though so that helps. But lots of love and healing going out to the people who have lost loved ones.
Someone from America asked me the other day if I would make them a bunny and send it over. I didn’t think much of it at the time and said why not. The next day I looked up how much it would cost to make with the official wool the pattern suggest. I was shocked when I found out that a ball of that wool is £18. Yes £18, it must come from gold sheep or something. Just a tad pricey. The other think is it would cost about £30 to send over. So in total to make it and send it, it would cost nearly £60+ so after figuring that out I drop them a message saying no. Some a bit closer to home said to my sister they had seen what I had made and wanted a fox. So after knitting yesterday we took a quick trip to the wool shop to get some believe it or not wool.
it should look like that when it’s done. But using chunky wool that’s a bit more red. So far the body is made and I’m working on the head. I did start working on an aardvark for me with some grey fluffy wool, but that’s had to go on the back burner for a bit. The fox I think is going to end up with a kid eventually. Well that’s what I was told. If it does great but if not oh well.
I thought I lost a crystal the other week but that turned up and fell out of a pocket when I went to put my jacket on. So cool on that one. I knew it was in the house somewhere but where exactly I had no idea. I knew it would turn up when it felt like it and it did. So whoop for the no longer missing rock.
Had a couple of MS things, one Monday and one Tuesday. They went well and I won some chocolate last night so whooop. Mum won’t quite a bit of chocolate too but I’m eating it to help because she’s on a diet. Lol
I had some really good news the other day. The people from the spiritualist church asked me if I would take over the group. So wow on that one. It was completely un expected. I was covering the group that night but to take over for the foreseeable is really unexpected.
Another thing that seems to be happening at the moment is that so many people are talking about death. I’m finding it hard to listen to. It upsets me, it’s hard and I don’t like it.
