It's Sunday night and I am feeling very blech! The reason for the mood is because I have to go back to work tomorrow. I have been out for eight weeks on a medical disability leave. I definitely feel better than I did a couple of weeks ago, but I really don't think I'm ready to go back to doing what I have to do at work. I work in retail and I'm on my feet all day and I do a lot of bending and lifting and pushing and pulling. Today I did quite a lot of housework, laundry, cleaning the bathroom and vacuuming and I feel sore tonight. I'm really scared that I'm going to hurt myself by working. I mean I know I have to go back because I need the money. I'm broke!! I can't lose this job. It would be very hard to find a full time job to replace it. But I don't want to do any damage to myself. I worked on my crochet a lot while I was recovering. It would be great if I could support myself by working part time and selling my crochet pieces. That is my ultimate goal. I am going to set up a store on etsy and try to sell at some craft shows. That's proving to be a little difficult because all of the shows seem to always fall on my weekend to work.
My latest project that I have been working on is a really pretty pair of fingerless gloves.
The yarn I used is this beautiful soft cashmino yarn. I have actually owned it for over a year but I couldn't decide on a project that was worthy of this gorgeous yarn! I'm not kidding I actually started two different projects with this yarn, a hat and an infinity scarf, and I ripped them both out because I thought it was a waste of such nice yarn. Then a couple of days ago I got this awesome book out of the library and I fell in love with these! I knew right away that I had found the right project for my precious yarn!
I'm so happy with the way they came out. I'm definitely going to make them in a few other colors. There's some other interesting projects in this book that I'm going to have to try. I could be delightfully happy just spending my days crocheting and crafting. It is truly my hearts desire!!!!
