We have been living through a pandemic and my husband and I have been in lock down since the beginning of March 2020. This virus had just started and we decided with our health conditions that we should not take any chances and stay in. By mid March the whole country was put on lock down and who would have thought it would have lasted this long. I have kept myself busy with crocheting, knitting, and reading when I have felt like it. I have been having some issues with pain in my legs and going to bed seems to relieve it--I am not one to take meds if I can help it. </div><div> Below, I will share a couple of pictures from our yard as of today and also pictures of things I have finished. Our yard use to be beautiful but my husband is not able to do all that work anymore.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfXSSIDSzOXVHM-ymcsfBCR45I6Io3vbepgbTUrU5fjNpAtDghmh44C3X1aCh1y89exJhj5vsle0ncrZc9cbpvMSG1ipehL8uNDXVxJHg2H5_2h9AWhyphenhyphenG0A6sXGyWiz-PJY9MgiGTuUIw/s2048/autumnclematis.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfXSSIDSzOXVHM-ymcsfBCR45I6Io3vbepgbTUrU5fjNpAtDghmh44C3X1aCh1y89exJhj5vsle0ncrZc9cbpvMSG1ipehL8uNDXVxJHg2H5_2h9AWhyphenhyphenG0A6sXGyWiz-PJY9MgiGTuUIw/s640/autumnclematis.JPG" /></a></div><div>This shows a large section of pompous grass at the end of our deck. Out in the yard is an old birdhouse that our grandson, Stephen, built when he was a little boy. There is not a lot of it left but I don't have the heart to have someone to remove it. There is a large bunch of Autumn clematis to the right of it and some tall yellow flowers at the house. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbzbab43If-J1zKKV78nktrBSwe_Dl19DGW5glsoAc-Fby2PiPSWd9pCabEoyByZEDxdsGpepVJ3NalEdscr0xHmMSk-GK6oP4OrKnuOr8c6GIHUOMtdZYFZWTxu3Sym_AO7vi8bVoBVg/s2048/yellow+flowers.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbzbab43If-J1zKKV78nktrBSwe_Dl19DGW5glsoAc-Fby2PiPSWd9pCabEoyByZEDxdsGpepVJ3NalEdscr0xHmMSk-GK6oP4OrKnuOr8c6GIHUOMtdZYFZWTxu3Sym_AO7vi8bVoBVg/s640/yellow+flowers.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /> I took this picture from the corner of the deck, as you can see. To the left is ivy growing out of old flower pots. In the background is Rose of Sharon and some yellow flowers. There is a bird church there, but it is covered up with the growth of flowers.

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Back to say "hello"....</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> It seems every time I post, that it has been such a long time and it has been. A whole lot has gone on in our little corner of the world since the last time I posted. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> My husband continues to have issues with his health. Besides his MS, he now has a blood condition and is on chemotherapy pills for that. These pills are very expensive and we have had a foundation that paid some on them but will not be continuing doing that. We don't know what that is going to mean for him. I am still on oxygen 24/7 and that will be continuing. Our son-in-law has a scan done this week to see where his Mantle Cell Lymphoma stands. It seems there is a lot of sickness all around us with friends and family. We are trying to get up and make the best of each day. My knitting, crocheting, and reading books helps. I thought I would share some of those projects with you.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #274e13;">This is a crocheted granny square pattern and I used Hobbii Tivoli Yarn that I purchased from Denmark. It is such pretty yarn and easy to work with. It took 3 skeins. My husband wanted me to make it for the nurse at the cancer center. He took it to her today and she was so excited and said that it made her day. That really made me happy. We always like to no that our work is appreciated. </span></div>

<span style="color: #274e13;"> This is Serpentine Hat and Cowl by Premier Yarns Design Team. I did not do the cowl. I did this hat to be sold at our church festival to make money for missions. I used Premier Yarns colorway Appalachic. The pompom is made by wrapping yarn around two toilet paper rolls held side by side.</span><div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #274e13;"> I hope you enjoyed viewing what I have been knitting and crocheting. I have also enjoy books. I am so blessed that I can pick out books on line and the library brings them to me and picks them up when finished. Being able to order books, yarn, and groceries on line is such a wonderful blessing.</span></div>

It has been a while since I posted. At the end of April last year, I was in the hospital with heart and lung problems. I came home with oxygen and am using it 24/7 for the remainder of my life. I am doing okay with it and know that it is necessary for me to be able to breath. I have not felt like getting to this PC to update my blog in a while, but decided tonight to try to post a few things that I have been working on. I try to stay busy with my hands to give me something to do and it keeps my mind active--I don't know if that is working because I can't seem to remember "stuff". Ha<br />

I stay busy with my hands or reading to try to stay sane. Ha! I thought I would share some of the projects that have kept me busy.<br />

My husband and I still have health issues but we take one day at a time and try to make the best of it. It has been a busy and fast Spring and Summer--I wonder where all that time went. Our son, daughter-in-law, and our grandson were here from California for a couple of weeks and that was so much fun. Noah is now three and so cute and smart! I am going to share some pictures from our place and what I have been doing. I hope you enjoy.<br />

Our son wanted me to knit a Dr. Who baby blanket for a friend. I had made my son</div>

and the mom to be a Dr. Who scarf when they were in college and he thought she</div>

would appreciate a Dr. Who blanket. After I finished this one and mailed it to California, our son </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
said he sure would love a Dr. Who blanket. I told him that I was glad he was old enough and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ugly enough that he wants would not hurt him. But, guess what, I am in the process of</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
making him a blanket, but doing it in squares.</div>

This is Mrs. Bakery Bear, the pattern can be found on Ravelry. Our grandson and his friend took her to the park to ride on the rides. I was entering the photo in a contest--it didn't win, but the kids had a great time. I guess this is enough to show you for now. I am still busy knitting some sweaters and hats for two cute little girls. I also have our son's blanket to finish.</div>

For a while, it seemed that all I was doing was going to the doctor. I had hoped that my pre diabetes would not go to type2, but that was not to be for me. I thought I was doing everything I could with exercise and eating right and my A1C gave a different result. I am now on Metformin and having to do blood sugar checks. It will all be okay, I just have to continue to work on my diet and move around as much as I can.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"> I have been knitting, crocheting, reading, and everyday chores. I thought I would take a few minutes to share a few things that have been happening in my life while I was not blogging.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"> I have been watching knitting podcast on the internet and have really been enjoying watching the women from here and across the pond and all their beautiful projects. I saw there was to be a Downton Abbey Mystery KAL--before each week's episode, we were given clues to watch for and then knit the pattern for that clue. We could also choose beginner or intermediate pattern and that determined what your project would look like. I bought my yarn and 40" circular needles and decided to do the intermediate pattern and cast on 200 stitches to begin. Below, I will show you my finished shawl and my husband was kind enough to model it for me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"> I think, by the end of March, you will be able to download the complete pattern from Jimmie Bean Wool. There were several corrections made to the pattern after it was posted and I am sure all that will be changed in the finished pattern. I was so glad that I did a practice section of the pattern, with scrap yarn, between two markers and errors were found and the designer changed them before I started knitting with my bought yarn.</span><br />

That mom has one egg and may have another one by tomorrow, March 3, 2014.</span></span></span><br />

What a wonderful surprise! My husband went to the mailbox this morning and a beautifully wrapped gift had been left for us. To my surprise, was these figures with knitted accessories. I love, love, love them! These are things that I have been knitting for gifts for Christmas. I know the time that it takes to make them for people and I cannot imagine knitting these TINY scarf, hat, and mittens. They are done perfectly and they must have been really fiddly to make. Thank you to our friends for making our day--My Day. My husband watches me knitting and he also has an appreciation for the time and work that went into making them. I love surprises!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
Love to all from,<br />

I fell in July and it took a while to get over that. I found out during that time, that I am pre-diabetic and have to have more blood work done around the first of the New Year. We will know more about what is going on then. I sure hope the food during the holidays does not mess me up. Our son and his family were here from San Francisco for Thanksgiving and I am afraid that I was not as careful as I had been. We will be alone for Christmas and there will be none of those sweets to tempt me. I have also been very busy knitting and crocheting during these months that I didn't post. I will share below some of what has been on my needles. Also, I found that there are knitter's video pod casts and I have really been enjoying those. I wish that I could knit, spin, and use that beautiful expensive yarn they use. I just goggled for knitter's video pod cast and came up with some great ones.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Some knitted hats for friends and family on top. The ones on the bottom were done for our son, his wife, and little boy.

<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">This is a crochet shrug that our daughter-in-law wanted. The pattern is in the current Crochet Today magazine. When I took the pictures, I had not worked in the threads because I was waiting on her to come and try it on. It fit her fine--I was not sure because she is so tiny and I was afraid it would be too big. </span><br />

doctor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In my last post,<br />
I told you that I had fallen the week before and hurt my knee.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I should have gone to the ER the afternoon <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>that I fell, but I was doctoring myself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My leg started swelling and then a wide red
band developed above my ankle and was hot.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I called the doctor and they told me to go to Urgent Care.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The two doctors there<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>x-rayed my knee and ankle and there were
no fractures and then they sent me to the hospital for an<br />
ultrasound of my leg so that blood clots could be ruled out and thank goodness that
came out okay.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It ended up that I had an
infection in my leg and was on antibiotics for two weeks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The doctor explained that because of the
swelling and fluid in my leg, bacteria got in through some cut or scratch and
had a feast.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
On the visit back to the doctor, my blood pressure was too high.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He put me on a fluid pill with the blood
pressure med in it. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He then sent me for
blood work and all was okay except that after fasting, my blood sugar level was
high.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now, when I go back about my leg,
the doctor says he will check the blood sugar again. I told the doctor if he
keeps giving me pills, I won’t be able to close the top on my pill box.<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even with all this going on, I have
stayed busy knitting and crocheting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
red bag and hat were crocheted for my daughter-in-law’s mother.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She had liked the one I did with yellow
flowers and wanted hers done in red.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
little girl is wearing the sweater that I had shown in my last post.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She is the daughter of a friend of my son and
his wife.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had some extra Curious
George fabric, so I decided to make Noah an appliqued tie shirt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The crochet yellow blanket will go in gift
box<br />
ready for the next baby.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fall is in the air here and I have
begun to decorate for Fall—will share later.<br />
Love,<br />

This little pitcher is filled with zinnias that I planted from seed that Gretchen at Bird House Cottage shared with me. I call them "cut and come" because the more you cut them, the more blooms you will have. The butterflies really do enjoy them too.</div>

This set and bib was done for our daughter-in-law's brother and his wife. They are expecting their first baby, a girl, and wanted the set done in this pale lavender. There is more knitting to do but I am not able to get out right now. I fell on Sunday a week ago and all the weight went on my right knee. I am much better but think it is going to just take time and patience. At least I did not break a bone--I found out there is something as hard as my head. Ha!</div>

Our daughter and her teenage daughter also came from OK. Before they came, my husband and I were riding around the countryside and saw a yard sale. I saw the cutest little bike and asked him to please turn around and go back for me to see the bike. Not to happy about doing this, but did it anyway, we pulled into the driveway and asked the man if he would bring the bike to the car (we are disabled and to get out we would have had to use wheelchairs). The man was so kind and brought it for us to see and we asked the price--$3.00 and of course we said put it in the back of the van. I then tried to make a decision between a bell or horn for the bike--I wanted the one that would irritate my son the most. Ha! I decided on the horn and it cost twice what the bike cost. Within an hour of them arriving, Noah had already enjoyed more than the cost of the bike and horn. We even let him bring it in the house--probably would not have allowed one of our kids to do that, but he is a grandson. I wanted to share this video with you and can imagine in a few years he will be flying down the ramp on a skateboard.<br />

Then to add to the excitement of their visit, on the afternoon before they flew home the next morning, a bear came to visit and was in a tree in our back yard. Now, mind you, we live within two blocks of downtown of our city. This bear caused a lot of excitement but the wildlife person that came out said to leave it alone. The last we heard, the bear was about 2 miles away on a golf course not far from the Haw River. I sure hope it found it's way safely where it was trying to go.</div>

My husband is having a relapse with his MS. I can take a cup of coffee, my I-Pad loaded with a good book, and be surrounded with these beautiful sights and sounds from the birds, and know there is someone greater than us in charge. I wish you could come and sit a spell with me--I forgot to tell you how good the May blossoms smell.<br />

This is my 198 yards of Heaven. Thanks <a href="http://www.pumpkinsunrise.com/">Karen</a> for your help in understanding the pattern. This is a free pattern by Christy Verity and I found it by a search. Below is a view of it being worn. This picture was with the pattern.<br />

I finished my citron and this is a picture before blocking. I had some lavender worsted weight yarn and wanted to try this pattern. I had been seeing it and loved the ruching and the ruffle and wanted to try knitting it. It is a very easy pattern and can be found free on line. <br />
Love,<br />

These are a couple of dishcloths that I knitted. I did these by knitting with two strands of No. 10 crochet cotton--Aunt Lydia's. I love the feel of these and being 100% cotton, I think they will launder well.<br />
Using a size 8 knitting needle and contrasting colors. You can't tell, but the bottom cloth is done by knitting with a strand of yellow and a strand of white. The top cloth is done by using a strand of variegated and a strand of white. <br />
<b>Pattern:</b><br /> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Cast on 4 stitches<br />
Row 1:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Knit<br />
Row 2:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Knit 2, yo, knit the remaining
stitches<br />
<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Repeat Row 2 until it is as wide as you want it <br />
then knit 1, knit 2 tog, yo, knit 2 tog, knit remaining<br />
stitches. Continue until 4 stitch are left and then bind off<br />
and work in ends.</div>

This is a view out the bay window in our kitchen. We had heavy rain off and on all day. The temperature was in the low 50's most of the day. At 6 pm, the rain was pouring down. Then the temperature started dropping and by 8 pm it was snowing and thundering. I have read today that is a rare occurrence. I read a girl's blog from the UK today and she had the same thing happen on January 14--three days before us. I found that interesting. The snow was beautiful this morning but it is disappearing quickly. I hope we have another snow and that it comes during the daylight hours.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
When I put away my Christmas decorations, I got out some of my snowmen items. I thought</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I could use them until February. In front of the decorations is a loaf of apple bread I made. We were given a box of fruit for Christmas and I don't like not using or eating as much as we can.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Praline- Topped Apple Bread</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2 cups all-purpose flour</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2 tsp. baking powder</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/2 tsp. soda</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/2 tsp. salt</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 cup sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 cup sour cream</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2 eggs</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3 tsp. vanilla extract</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 1/2 cups chopped peeled Granny Smith apples</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 1/4 cups chopped pecans, toasted, divided</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/2 cup butter</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/2 cup packed brown sugar </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, beat the sugar, sour cream, eggs and vanilla until well blended. Stir into the flour mixture just until moistened. Fold in the apples and 1 cup pecans.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. Transfer to a greased 9-in. X 5-in. loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to cool.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. In a saucepan, bring butter and brown sugar to a boil. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Spoon over bread. Sprinkle with remaining pecans.</div>

I bought this gold pin from Hospice Flee Market and tatted around it</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with the red thread to wear during Christmas with my Christmas scarf.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This was a beautiful sunset from night before last. The sky was a rose color</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
all the way around. This almost looks like a fire.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to wish every one a great New Year. I pray that it is filled with good health and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
happiness. I made a resolution and have already broken it. I am pleased that for the past</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
two years I had kept my resolution to read the Bible all the way through. This year, I have</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a daily devotion that I am going to use. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Love,</div>

I hope you enjoyed some of the views from our home. We are going to be alone this Christmas. Our children and grandchildren live too far to come. Our son and family were just here in October for a wedding and we spent a wonderful time together. We decided to put out the things we love and we are going to make it a wonderful for us. We just pray for good health through this season. I wish you and yours a wonderful Christmas and a great New Year.</div>

Little guy all dressed up at a wedding banquet and he has his best<br />
friend with him. I could not help but laugh when I saw this<br />
picture. I said "I see Mr. Raccoon got an invitation too". I found a free<br />
pattern for a rabbit that is made like Mr. Raccoon and made it. His wonderful<br />
friend was a gift and they are kinda expensive, so we hope he will want to carry<br />
the rabbit around and if something happens to it, I can just knit another one.<br />
Below are pictures of the rabbit. It is on it's way to CA and a friend is going to<br />
embroidery the face for me. The pattern can by found as a free e-book of toys at<br />

Below are Winter crochet wristers. I made a pair for a woman and then a<br />
pair for a little girl and I a hat to go with hers. You can find the free pattern<br />
at RedHeart.com.<br />

Airy...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We decided last Friday, before Sandy came, to drive up to the mountains. It is a nice drive from our house to Mt. Airy. It was a gorgeous day and the leaves were still beautiful in places. We not only enjoyed the leaves but seeing the antique cars parked along Main Street and the crowds lined up at Snappy Lunch for the famous pork chop sandwich.</div>
