Friday Fluff: What a Pain

 

I was really excited about The Mister going off to play golf yesterday. I had plans. Big plans for a day all to myself and then...somehow I managed to do something extremely painful to my back that kept me on the couch all day in misery. I watched old movies and spent some time with my handspun projects. I retired another marker on the Pi Shawl. I only have this far to go now. 50 stitches to be exact. 



It was a cold morning so I enjoyed pulling the Garter Squish over my lap while I worked on it. I changed colors I hope for the last time. I'll have to see how it plays out with the rest of it. I'm looking for a balance.



Neck pain, migraine and now back spasms. I've really had a week with this old body. It's a good thing I didn't have anything important to do. One of the movies I watched had Bette Davis crocheting her way through a murder trial. It made me think of the orphan handspun Grannies I had sitting by the Ladybug. I added two more to the pile. Crocheting with wonky handspun is a challenge. I have no plan for any of them. It's just nice to pick up a hook now and again to remind myself how bad I am at it.

    I bet I have not touched my granny squares (or made a new one) in over a year! I'm just not into it any more. Hope you are feeling better.

    I do love the PI shawl--you are so close to the finish line! The Garter Squish is a beauty, I can just feel it on my lap! The granny squares are lovely in their wonkiness!

    I do hope your back feels better soon, and I'm also sending you good wishes for the Pi Shawl. So close!

    Bette Davis had a way of snapping you to attention!

    I hope all these aches and pains have run their course and the weekend is smooth sailing. The garter squish looks very cozy and cheerful. Love the bright colors.

    You were still pretty productive for being in pain!

    Even with all of your aches you did a lot. The Pi Shawl is almost done. Yippee! I love your garter squish. I need to make another one with all of my leftover balls of yarn.
    Blessings and hugs,
    Betsy
