Right now I am:
In bed, trying to wake up. There is just not enough coffee in the world this morning.
Thinking:I am glad that both my mom and my mother in law are out of the hospital. I am worried sick though because my mom is not eating. My mom has dementia. It could be a dental issue that she can't express or it could be a progression of her disease. People with dementia forget to how to swallow. I am hoping that it is not her forgetting to swallow. Over the past few years I've watched my mom lose one skill after another and it breaks my heart every time.

What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
I have way too many things going right now.
Love Dishcloth I wanted to do this for Valentine's Day but I don't have the cotton I need yet. I'm going to the store today.
Valentine Heart Dishcloth Need the yarn, same thing as above
Very Easy Bath Mitt- I have the yarn for this and I want to do this one very badly. I bought a soap sack and after using it once it started to fall apart. I did love how the yarn scrubbed my skin so I'll make my own.
Modified Feather and Fan Dish Cloth-I have attempted this 4 times and will try again. I keep adding to many stitches somehow.
Three Dishcloths-I kept knitting dishcloths for everyone else and have none for myself. I love this pattern because I can buy I ball of Sugar and Cream or Peaches and Cream and I can get 3 dishcloths out of it. That will give me a jump start on what I need for myself. I only have 2 dishcloths and I like to change them out every day.
Ruffle Scarf- I started this for my mother in law but wound up knitting her several dishcloths instead. I'm going to finish it up and give it to her for her birthday instead.
Coaster Set-Another project i started but haven't finished yet
Diagonal Knit Baby Blanket-About 64% done at this point.
White Rabbit wristees- making these for my daughter for Christmas
Garter Stitch Slippers-I need to make 6 more pairs of these for friends and family
Plaid Dishcloth- this is another dishcloth that is giving me fits- I've ripped it 3 times. I will try again soon.
Homemaking Tips:::
Wash towels in 1 Cup of vinegar on hot, then again with 1/2 cup of baking soda on hot. Gets them so clean. I wash regular after that.
Looking around the house:::
I need to clean. There has just been so much going on. It's only going to get worse because softball season is coming.
