She's back !!!!

Hello hello hello! Happy Sunday to you! I am drinking a tall cup of coffee trying ro decide what I am going to watch while I crochet. You'd think this wouldn't be a big deal but I have found that certain shows have so much excitement that I actually stop crocheting. For example the walking dead. I can never seem to get anything done during that show! My show of choice would be Law and Order. It's exciting enough to hold my attention but no so exciting I forget to crochet. If I catch a good marathon I can get a lot done and there is so much to do. I want the baby's wardrobe to be 75% crocheted plus wash cloths and blankets.

I did get that sweater finished and ecwn started a blanket. I decided to go the fancy route for the blanket. Not my usual forte. So far I am proud of the results.

Well I am going to get to work. I wanted to stop by and say hello to all my friends. Oh, and of course show off the sweater I made. If feels good to be back in creation mode.

MIA

Hello craft lovers! I know I have been gone quite awhile. I was thinking what will I tell my readers. What can I say that they will accept. I decided that I needed to tell the truth. I struggling with an anxiety disorder called PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder). Lots of jokes are told in reference to this disorder especially concerning soldiers. The reality of it is no laughing matter. Anyway for me when my anxiety levels become too high I shut down. I can't function, I can't think straight, I can't create, and just getting up everyday to take care of my family is a struggle. I am still not 100% and I do have days that I feel 100%. Right now I am operating at about 75 but the good news is I have picked up my hook! I am back to creating! Today I have an adorable pink sweater that need to embellish. With the baby coming in just for months I don't have much down time left! I can't wait to share what I have made. So until tomorrow stay crafty and cime back soon cause you never know what is going to happen with this chaotic crocheter!
