How can I say "Nothing Happening." another way? Hmm....
Well, I said that I've been "crafting" lately, and that I'd give you a glimpse into some of the things I've been making. I realized, long ago, that when I am stressed or sad or bored, I will sew. I have a hard time sitting still while watching a movie. I watched movie after movie from my sewing machine. It keeps my mind busy - and probably subconsciously, I'm keeping myself from dwelling on Joshua. Not that I don't think about him. But it's exhausting, both physical and emotionally, to think about it constantly. So in the meantime, I have sewn. And crocheted. And knit. And cross-stiched. These are only a few - just what I could get my hands on this morning and late last night.
There's also:
**a full-length peasant skirt for myself (somewhere in the laundry), **a hat and booties for Joshua (which are in the car, in the hospital bag), **a pink and white flowered shirt/tunic for myself (also in the laundry), **pajamas for Oceana (also in the laundry), **a hat and booties for my nephew Evan, **a cross-stitch that I gave to Mom Sams for Christmas, **another cross-stich like the one of the little girl, the two quilts and curtains I already posted here (probably in early December 07), **mattress protectors for the Marine Reach ship, **9 couch pillows for the Marine Reach ship, and I remade a **pair of capris into maternity capris.
Tunic dress for Oceana. She wears it with blue shorts. Seen in a previous post.

Crocheted socks. My first pair that look like socks instead of booties. Quite thrilled with them. :)
Two peasant skirts for Oceana
A crocheted sweater for Oceana, with a hood. This thing's so heavy she probably won't need a winter coat. (It doesn't get below freezing more than once a year, if at all).
An apron I made my mother - it's thrown up on the couch behind Oceana.
Most of the shrug I've made for myself. It's just a "use up the scrap yarn" project.
I need a 2nd sleeve obviously.
