Thankful

Hello dear friends, Happy Easter to you all .It has been awhile since I last posted things have been very hectic around here. Hope you are all well and I will be visiting you all in the next few days.

I saw an image on Pinterest of a potholder but it didn't have a pattern and I had just had to make one. I really like dishcloths they allow me to work with colour and pattern on a small scale . I recently gave a friend a stack of dishcloths , she looked at me incredulously and asked why on earth I would do such beautiful work only for it to end up as a dishcloth /face cloths.

I explained that for me  the reasons I crochet varies .Some days my crochet is often about the process , the simple act of yarn over hook, the comfort of repetition. It is on those days that a quick dishcloth is the perfect piece. I don't have to commit to something that requires time, something that is  lacking at the moment . I told her it made me feel relaxed and that completing one dishcloth  was the equivalent of the few glasses of wine she has in the evening. She told me I was a really lucky person .When you are make to think about why you do something it makes you really think ,don't you think?  I'm so glad I have such an easy way to relax and apart from the occasional bouts of pain we can get in our hands its whole heck better than wine every night. Don't get me wrong I love wine ,hehe, but I'm glad I don't need it to relax .Why do you crochet?

My daughter and grandson have moved in for awhile and I had forgotten the amount of stuff that is needed for a baby. I'd forgotten the sleepless nights and the constant cuddling .He is the perfect companion for me as I never really sleep and I adore cuddling, we couldn't be happier .

Right , must dash ,I'm needed for kisses and hugs , lucky me.
