1) I've taken a sick day and as a result am lying in bed with nothing to do but cough, use stumbleupon.com, and get dizzy every time I want to start doing work. Such is the life.
2) Jane has called me out on both blogs to ask me to post something. I figure I should start here so if I mess up, it won't have everyone else's name on it.
Health update:
The rib contusion I got on Thursday night has strangely shifted from the part of my rib closest to my sternum all the way around the rib towards my side and back. I imagine it's just all the muscles moving around and readjusting after my attempts to throw around at these past 2 practices, but man does it hurt. Yay frisbee for being a non-contact sport; boo to me for always assuming it's not a foul.
Also, today will mark my first practice since the injury. Judging from the pain level, I won't be able to make it through the entire thing, but I'll try anyway and just ease into it. (That's what she said? Haha oh, immaturity.)
I tried google image searching something related to a rib contusion so I could illustrate this post, but ended up seeing a picture of open chest surgery. I now have seen too much and take it as another reason why I do not want to become a doctor. Why do these things always happen to me?
Making things:
I've realized these past few years that while I enjoy crafting and find myself dabbling in a bunch of different types of crafting skills, I want to slow down and take more time to develop each. Sure, I can try to learn a new craft every day (which would be AMAZING), but if I were to want to retain such skills and use them to their full potential, I should be able to take the time and become more of an expert in each of the crafts. I want to be able to pick up a crochet needle and say I can make any thing or shape I please without having to look up a pattern, or look at a dress and immediately be able to produce a paper pattern for it, etc. The following are crochet-specific crafts I'd like to make when I get the chance. With each project, I intend to develop my knowledge of the craft, as well as make something useful/fun, not to mention get a head start at becoming a total grandma.
- Beer Cozy/Coozy/Koozie/Coosy/however you spell it (I looked it up and there is no consensus)
(from craftzine)
- Slippers
- Mustache Beanie (yea, that's right!)
(from etsy)
I need to hit up a thrift store soon. They have so much yarn for so cheap.
Yay, second post!
hahaha
