Right now I am:
Just waking up
Thinking:
About hope- the Drs told me yesterday that they will not be able to get my mom back to the level she was at before she went into the hospital. They told me that she will not walk, eat or talk anymore. I am hoping that my mom surprises us all like she usually does and that she will prove them wrong.

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
I didn't finish anything last week. I'm working on my tea cozy and it is giving me problems but I expect it will be done in the next couple of days.
I have made progress in the crochet area. I can single crochet, double crochet and triple crochet now. Something just clicked and I got it. To be honest all I want to do is crochet but I am lacking patterns I actually know how to do.
Homemaking Tips:::
Not so much a homemaking tip but something I like to do this time of year- I save all my little cut off yarn bits in a plastic bag until I notice the birds are back. I then set the yarn under the tree in my front yard and the birds come and get it to build their nests with. I love watching them take the yarn and know that it's going for the baby birds.
Looking around the house:::
Not much to see today- its dark. I haven't opened the curtains yet and I might not for a little while.
