Blog Update – Taking a break

By

I’ve thought about this for a few months, and I think I need to take a break for awhile. I’m going through a crafters-block (like a writer’s-block only with crafts.) And since this is a crafting blog, the crafter’s-block and blogging has brought my posting to almost a standstill.

At the moment, other than making Shelibean another blanket, my crafting ideas are few-and-far-between.  I’m in search of renewed inspiration for more crafting posts. Unfortunately, inspiration may happen soon or tomorrow or not for a long while. I never can tell about me.
Meanwhile, I’ll try to check in from time-to-time.

You all are in my thoughts, and I send
good wishes your way for wonderful days
of love and joy through the holiday season.

 

 

New Little blankets for Shelibean

By

About 7 years ago, I made a post ‘WIP Wednesday – New Blankets for Shelibean’ It’s pictures of Sheli with his new blankets I crocheted for him from when he was a couple months old and when he was about 4 1/2 years old.
Shelibean is about 12 1/2 years old, I figure after the rough past few months he’s had, that he deserves some new blankets.
They’re handy for him to lay on or be covered up with. The best part is he recognizes them as his and it seems a comfort to him.
These blankets are a basic granny square crochet pattern of 18 double crochet rounds and a round of single crochet to finish the border, size I crochet hook, the yarn is what I have in my stash.

Shelibean and I wish you all a wonderful week.

10-19-2024- Hey Everybody

By

I’m dropping in to say hello.
Many years ago, I read an article that said if you’ve taken time off from blogging, not to start back with an re-intro post, but instead, to just jump back in posting.
I think that’d be an awful cold way to restart, and since I’m past the age of giving a flip about pretentious rules, here goes… 😁

Life has kept us on our toes the past few months. Things are finally evening out. The days are getting longer and cooler. The cooler temperatures are welcome after the long hot days. We still have days of hot temperatures but they’re not as intense as before.

Sheli-bean is suffering some sad health issues mainly with his heart. He had to stay in the veterinary-hospital for a few days. We thank the good Lord above that he’s still with us. His age is an issue with his health problems. We’re diligent in giving him his medicines twice a day, which he likes a lot because they’re like a treat and cheeses. He’s our wonderful little boy. ❤️

I reached the point, with my other laptop where I could no longer tolerate it.  It was one of several reasons, that caused me some of my blogging issues. So, I splurged and got a new laptop. It’s taking some time for me to get my files/photos/programs and stuff uploaded, downloaded, reloaded and back up and running. Not to mention getting used to it. I’m still in the ‘learning curve’ stage with it.

By any chance, do you know of a good ‘note program’ that I can use across my devices: kindle fire, mobile phone and laptop? I was using ColorNote notepad, but unfortunately, it’s no longer compatible with Windows 11. :/

Okay, folks, I’ll be making the rounds, when I can, and try to do some visiting and commenting. Be patient with me, it’ll take me a few days to visit. I have a lot of catching up to do. Hopefully, I’ll be back to blogging more often, soon.

I wish you all a pleasant  weekend.
😊
