Thank you very much for your well wishes. I just wanted to let you know things are okay-i went in yesterday and i still had the tear and detachment-they did some more freezing and put some gas bubbles in my eye that will press on the tear in my eye when i lay on my left side-the hope is that the bubbles hold it all in place and it can heal that way.
i want back today and it seems better but i go back again friday-hopefully it helps it completely because that would mean no surgery.
I have to go back to laying on my left side.
I hope you all have Happy and Wonderful Holidays!!!!
Thank you all for your kind words 
They helped quite a bit and i have really been trying to focus on postive things.
Knitting is still slow but i do have all my pieces for Cosima done-now i just have to seam them together and do the neckline. But tonight’s focus is Shaun the Sheep-i only have to make eyes and ears and then the dreaded seaming and assembling can start.
I also started another Christmas gift that wasn’t on the original list and its the bathroom mat from purlbee. I am going to make it for hubby since he always uses his towels on the floor. This might be a knit he will actually use I am using my cotton stash for it so it’s going to have some strange colors but i am keeping to my goal of stash knitting only that way!!
And Joanna tagged me-so here are my answers
1) Is this your first blog? Yes and No. This is the third site i have used for blogging so the name has changed 3 times and been in 3 different places but it has always been about the same thing-my crafting and tidbits of my life. Originally i focused only on knitting but life comes in sometimes and you can’t help it and then while i always had other crafts, they were set aside when i first started knitting and they have come back when i needed a break or was inspired.
2)How long have you had it? Ummm good question-about a year and a half-i will have to look after i finish this post.
3)Why did you start? I started it to follow the crowd-i saw other blogs out there about knitting and i wanted to share my things and hopefully meet like-minded people and make some new friends.
4) What does this blog mean to you? it’s my outlet about knitting mainly but also a way for me to talk to my friends that i have made. It’s my way to communicate what i am feeling and a place i know i can go to and not be judged or looked down on. And also a place where i can write about what i have done and maybe help someone with a way i did something or to point them out a way to go. And it’s my place to get a pat on the back when i have finished something because honestly-Hubby just isn’t as good at it as you guys
And if you read this-consider yourself tagged-teehee
Must stop avoiding the sheep-off to make some ears and eyes
It’s cold, i have lost my knitting mojo, my holiday spirit is waning and things are just tough right now. i know we aren’t the only ones who are having a hard time but it brings you down and it’s scary.
In an attempt for some cheer-i did manage this adorable little guy for Little Man’s advent calendar.
I love how he turned out Just too cute.
He is from the Winter 2009 of Living Crafts and its by Chris de Longpré.
I just used scraps of acrylic yarn that i had in my sack of remants-some Bernat and Caron Simply Soft.
He was knit in the round and went quickly. In the pattern the eyes and buttons were made with French Knots but i just backstitched around the one knit stitch where i placed the eyes and buttons.
i hope Little Man likes him as much as i do.
