Andy finally got his Christmas present from me hung at work. He put a thin piece of wood through the casing with pre-drilled nail holes so he could hang it without harming the wool fabric. I think it looks great and anything OU makes him SMILE. I should take a picture of his entire office - all OU, all crimson/cream with touches of black.

I haven't mentioned that I'm trying to teach myself how to crochet. I think my mom taught me some as a child, but I've wanted to take it back up. Another good distraction technique for the pain. Only problem I'm having? Counting. This un-medicated ADHD situation isn't working. When I need to do 1 stitch, then 2 stitches, then 1 stitch, the 2 stitches..........well.....forget that. lol I saw a counter thingy at the store - do I need to get that? Any tips?
Today is day 6 of my self-taught plan. Thank goodness for videos on You Tube! Here is what I just made - see my errors to the right hand side (among who knows how many others)? I'm still pretty proud of myself, though!

Fun way to pass the time. I'm sure my family and friends are going......ggrrreeeaaaaattt...now we know what we're getting for gifts! lol
Well you go girl! I can't crochet to save my life! I've tried and tried and watched those darn videos but it still comes out looking like an old chewed up dog toy :) I saw your earlier post the other day and I hope you're feeling better....ya know you probably live too close not to hollar for help if you ever need it.
ReplyDeleteSo hollar :)
Hope you have a great week!
I remember teaching myself to knit when I was pregnant with both kids... bought all the yarn, the needles, accessories... and abruptly quit. :) Just saw a cute scarf idea on Sea Kettle Diaries... perhaps you ladies have re-inspired me!
