Another tree

 

Yesterday, daughter Carol and I shopped for supplies to embellish dresses for the play. Shopping isn't hard, but it sure wears me out!

This afternoon I worked on another bejeweled tree. I haven't decided for sure yet, but I think I'll be donating this one for the raffle as well. I may even make a third one!

Bejeweled

 

As expected, I had no time for crafting yesterday. Lucky me, today I did! There was a half day of school for students, and since there was no lunch served I had the day off.

The high school musical, Crazy for You, is in three weeks. There will be a raffle to benefit a sophomore boy who is being treated for abdominal sarcoma. I've chosen to donate a bejeweled tree to the raffle, and since it's almost Spring, I decided to go with a Spring theme.

Weather permitting, I'll be helping daughter Carol with costume alterations tomorrow. Tonight, I think I'll just relax!

Starting round 7

 

We had an e-learning day for school today, which meant no work for me. So, I spent a good portion of the day tatting. #677 Lime Green Med was my choice for round 7, and I really like the look.

I'll be back at school tomorrow, and I have a doctor's appointment in the morning. I really don't expect to have much time for crafting. It's a good thing I had time today!

Round 6

 

Tatting doesn't bother my sore right hand, so I spent my free time working on round 6 of Renulek's Spring Doily 2025. I used size 20 Lizbeth #712 Kelley Green Med. In think I'll just stick with tatting for a few days and avoid crocheting!

Round 5

 

I took my time with round 5 because of my sore hand, and I'm glad I did. I really enjoyed tatting this round in size 20 Lizbeth #622 Pink Med.

My right hand is still very sore, so I'll probably take things slowly for the rest of the week. There's no sense in rushing things. I'll just enjoy my slow progress!

Just one

Well, I did it. I overworked my hands, and my right hand is really sore today. I'm pretty sure crocheting was my downfall. I wasn't successful trying to crochet a few stitches today, but I was able to do one pattern repeat on Renulek's Spring Doily 2025. I was very careful to not do too much today. I did quite a few hand exercises throughout the day, and my hand feels so much better than it did this morning. I'm not going to push it. I plan on taking it easy through the weekend. You'd think I'd know by now to not overdo it!

Starting round 5

 

At lunchtime today, I realized that I am more than half finished with my latest cowl. About a half hour a day of crocheting really pays off.

My scrappy afghan is now 29 inches long. I really like the way it's looking.

I also started round 5 of Renulek's Spring Doily 2025. I'm using size 20 Lizbeth #622 Pink Med. Each pattern repeat takes me about an hour, so I know I have a couple of days left to work on this round.

I think I'm done for the day. My hands are a little sore from all I've been doing. It's better to take a break now than to have to take several days off later.
