I'm waiting for these stones to pass or to find out what we're going to do to manage this situation. It's hard for me to leave home because it hurts to sit in the car except when I've taken my pain meds. But I can't drive when I take my pain meds. It's a Catch 22.
I started working on these neck warmers about a month ago. I have 2 others crocheted, but I don't like one of them and I don't have the right buttons for the other one yet. Each one cost less than $10 for materials. Here are the 3 that I have completed so far:
1) Blues & Browns w/Coconut Buttons (a gift for my youngest sister)
2) Oatmeal w/Berry Buttons (a gift for my friend "R")
3) Greys & Pinks w/Faux Stone Buttons (I might try to sell this one on Etsy. Eventually.)
The other thing that I worked on today was putting together a centerpiece for the dining room table. I used leftover material from the window seat pillow covers to create a temporary table runner. The crystal vase was a wedding present that I pulled out. I can never have flowers in my house because the cats eat them and then get sick, so I might as well use the vase for something. I found two silver flecked votive holders that I had purchased to possibly use as wedding decor, but didn't end up using them. There are dark red mulberry candles in the votive holders that I found in my candle stash. I filled the vase with some holiday stems that I purchased on sale -- but they will work all year, so that's good. Since I repurposed a bunch of things we already owned, this is the breakdown of cost:
- Champagne stems - 2.99 each X 2 = 5.98
- Champagne berries - 1.19 each x 3 = 3.57
- Brown sparkly "twigs" = .49 each x 3 = 1.47
Total > 11.02 plus 8% tax = $11.90
