Again and again and again....

Yes, it is official. I totally suck at keeping a blog. Not just a little bit. I mean epic suckiness!!!! EPIC!!!! OK, I will TRY  keep this up. I really want to!! I like looking back and seeing my journey. I used to keep journals. Well, they were actually  more like stories. When there was a lot going on inside my head, I would write one or two things down in the journal. To help problem solve, I would write out scenarios of what could happen. Not that the things actually happened. It just helped create a picture in my mind to see things and consequences and all that stuff. I stopped doing that when my first husband didn't believe in the right for me to have any privacy whatsoever. I had stopped doing it for so long that when I was with my second husband, I just never did. Sometimes, when I was writing these different scenarios, I would write down some detail that didn't seem important in real life, so to speak, but took on a whole new perspective when I was seeing it on paper. In retrospect, I should have started the journal thing with my second marriage. But, that's the past. Thank goodness! So, anyway, the last few weeks have been tumultuous to say the very least!! Tragedy, revelations, rejection.....*sigh*. Today, I am bummed. I think it is just all that and PMS combined that have me down.

I have been crocheting a lot lately. Right now, I am making some hats that were ordered. My sister and her friend are doing the Bark for Life here in our town. They had a booth at the Seafood Festival. I decided to whip up some beanies with a paw print applique. I was planning on giving most of the money to them. My sister's friend said, no, you give us 10% and the rest for you for your supplies and time. I still feel I should give them more (and, FYI, I probably will). The beanies for my friend Kim are almost ready to go. She has a friend with a 5 year old little girl. This little girl has a brain tumor and is going through chemo. I made some plain beanies and made some detachable flowers. I am going to make some more flowers so she can mix and match. I am also going to make some fabric flowers as well. BUT for now, I have the beanies and a flower for each. I am ALSO making some beanies to send to a friend of mine who is in Afghanistan right now. I asked him if he wanted me to make some things for him and his soldiers. He told me instead of for them, if I could make some hats for the local kids at the hospital there. I have some made. I try and do at least one a day or every few days. 

Anyway, it is time for me to finish up some paw print pieces to sew onto some Bark for Life hats. I have some more things I want to write but time is slipping away and I need to get them done. In the meantime, stay groovy my peeps!
