Excited

Well, hubby bought us a used incubator so we could hatch our own chicks. So, today we put in a dozen eggs and on March 15th, hopefully they'll be hatched if we follow directions correctly.

Something Different

Wanted to work on something different when I restumbled across some embroidery a friend, Denise, had done for my kids. She had asked me to finish them into wallhangings. Well, I finally got them pieced together and just need to pick up some batting and backing material. One step closer to getting these done. Yay!
Disney Tinker Bell and friends

Trains, Planes, and Helicopters

P.S. Won't lie, these have been 3 to 4 years waiting to be completed.

2 Down

Took a bit of a break to relax my fingers. They were a bit sore from all that stitching. However, I have completed the second pixel quilt and my son was happy how it turned out. He got to sleep under it last night. I know my other two are still waiting for theirs.

Update

  I've not done anything in quite a while and I've been recovering from the flue and bronchitis.  Still not well because I've had a relapse of the bronchitis.

Lately I've wanted to do some creating again so I brought out the  yarn to crochet but had to go and put it all away again. arthritis is not only painful but debilitating as well.  I've had to invest in compression gloves and I wear them all the time so my hands don't hurt.

My next attempt at crafting I turned to painting ceramics.  Started a few items and quit due to not being able to control the brush due to the gloves.  The items are still waiting to be finished.  I have to do a little at a time without the gloves.

My next craft I turned to plastic canvas.  Haven't done it in years but I picked it up again to see if I could do it.  YAY! I can.
It is not very big but it is the first I've done so I'm Happy. It's a suncatcher and I'm going to make a bigger one next.
