My creative space - sicko

My creative space Thursday 20 May

After all the stress, excitement and coldness of the market on Sunday, I've come down with a nasty virus which my doctor and I are working hard on not becoming an infection. So I'm home, with my couch, blanket, panadol and latest crochet project - another shawl, made using Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool in a lovely charcoal grey. I'm in love with this yarn and this shawl.

When I said that all I wanted to do after the market was sit on the couch with crochet for a week and not think about sewing, this was not quite what I had in mind...

In between cups of tea I've been updating my Etsy Store. I still have a little way to go, but all the prices have dropped due to the strange Australian dollar at the moment. Plus I've gotten creative with the usual price of the boxes for sockses - and I've taken about $4 AUD off the price. You can blame the medication for that one!

Go and visit Kirsty if you want to see more creativity. Go on. You know you want to.

  13. My ripple has been providing comfort to me in a similar state. Nothing like crochet as medicine (accept for drugs that is)! Get better soon

  14. I can see the whole sit and crochet scenario is less than ideal - but at least it's entirely GUILT FREE! (I'm sure cleaning the kitchen would bring on an infection, quick sticks). Hope the yarn works it's healing magic.
