A Few Things That I Have Been Working On

I am happy to report that I am now painfree from my tooth problem. I ended up getting into the Endodontist at 4:00 pm on Wednesday to get a root canal. Wow what a difference it makes to get rid of those painful roots of my tooth. The doctor was very kind and very concerned about not hurting me. I was so relieved when it was all over I felt like hugging him, but I didn’t. 🙂 My Megan is also doing much better and is back at school.

Anyway, my friend Lisa H. visited my booth at the Kansas Barn Sale and asked if I would be interested in making another owl hat and she told me that if I didn’t think I would want to pick up a hook for a very long time that she completely and totally understood. I told her no matter what I will always want to crochet and if I have to crochet, then I would totally want to make something that someone wanted. So I said yes and it did not matter that she needed it in 2 days I would make it for her. So Sunday when I returned home from the Barn Sale I started the owl hat for Lisa H.

I finished it up that evening and I do love the way it turned out and so did Lisa H.

On Tuesday I started on a back order from before the barn sale for my dear cousin Amber. I have to tell you the story behind the owl that I made here. Amber posted a request on my Facebook page to see if I could make an owl toilet paper cover like she had seen at my niece Kelley’s house. I’m not sure who responded the soonest me or Kelley to tell Amber that the owl that Kelley had been using for a toilet paper cover was indeed a teapot cozy. I had to laugh out loud as I was telling Amber and remembering that Kelley did not have a teapot but she loved my little teapot cozy so much that she just had to have it anyway. I thought it was cute that she was putting the cozy to use.

I went ahead and closed up the sides of Amber’s teapot cozy so that she could use hers totally for a toilet paper cover. I like to make one side one color and the other side another that way when she gets tired of one side she can turn it around. Amber ordered two of these and I am almost done with the second one. I will show you it in my next post. My weekend is shaping up to be a busy one. I will host the monthly KS My Stitch Officers meeting here on Saturday and am looking forward to seeing the ladies that help keep the guild up and running. I’m not sure what I will be fixing for lunch but I hope they like what I pull out my sleeve (or in this case my refrigerator).

I am looking forward to visiting Mom this weekend before we move her to her new home at Colwich Gardens Assisted Living on Tuesday. I know the children will miss walking and talking with their Grandma at her old house, but I hope that everyone will visit her often at her new home too. I hope everyone has a wonderful and relaxing weekend doing the things that they love to do.
