A Little crochet catch up.

Hello.... So I thought I'd do a little catch up on all things crochet.  To be honest its not great news, before I took my blogging break.  I was working on the Eastern Jewels blanket, such a wonderful feast of colour.

Unfortunately, I developed Tendonitis first in my right elbow and then my left (after the GP told me to stop using my right arm!!)

Last Summer after a few months break I started working on the blanket again trying a tiny bit of crochet, adding a round here and there.

Still treating myself to beautiful yarn that I just could not resist. But despite really resting them my elbows just weren't getting any better.

Last September I just could not resist, and decided I wanted to try and join in with Cherry Hearts beautiful 'Natures Walk ' crochet along.

Hoping the squares would be a little more gentle to manage

Loving the colours I had selected for the blanket. Aww Just look at lovely Monty cat all grown up.

Sadly the elbows did not improve despite my GP saying, most cases heal within a year.  In January two years into this pain, I was finally sent for Physio and the news was not great. Complete rest and lots of painful treament that could take months.

They were not even in good enough shape to have a injection.  With the added problem of Lyme disease, the Physio said to the lyme bacteria, the collagen in my tissue and tendons was like cavaiar it was just being eaten away, that my tendons felt like frayed fuse wire when he worked on them, yikes!!

So that's where I am really, with the lockdown I've had no physio since March as I'm too high risk to leave the house.

We are Cocooning here, as I like to call it.

I think maybe I need to try and do a little crochet to see if things have improved at all.

Find a cute little make to try.

Maybe something like these cute pumpkins I made last Autumn.

What are you making at the moment?

I'd love to hear?

Happy Crafting

Work in Progress Wednesday

Hello........... How are you? Today I thought I'd write a bit of a catch up post, as well life seems to be one big work in progress at the moment and I guess that's what it should be.

My crafting assistants are growing up fast, well I think they are every time someone comes to the house they say how much they have grown, being here with them every day we're not noticing it so much.  They are bundles of fun and full of energy so not a lot of crafting is getting done.

I did manage a tiny bit at the weekend as I went over to stay at my sisters, above is Monty on the top of my bag, it was either a case of 'don't leave' or 'can I come too'.

 While there I took the opportunity to do a little crochet.

Working on my Rainbow Drops Blanket.

Here's a pic of our little Alfie, aka (piglet) who is smaller than his brother but catching up fast, he eats twice as much as the other one.

The crystals I selected for this week are a mix of blues and green, so pretty, blue is mostly linked to the throat chakra and green the heart.

Mostly I've been carrying around this blue chalcedony, it's such a pretty colour I knew it had to be in the mix this week as I had a dream about this very stone, shape, colour a exact match, I'd forgotten I even had it, I have several storage crates containing crystals, so in the morning I went and had a look and found it there.  Weird but I'm going with it.

So craft assistant Alfie asks 'What you Doing'

Well, as you know not to much at the moment but I do have this lovely charm pack that I'm hoping to turn into a table runner when I get a mo, I'm hoping to have a play around with the colour and layout today, when you pair are having a sleep.

Aww they are so cute when they are sleeping.

Alfie even likes  to hold onto you're thumb while alseep, which is lovely but sure does slows down the crocheting.

What are you making at the mo ?

Happy Crafting
