Life can be a bitch......

I'm gonna apologize first......this blog is about venting!!!!





My friend has been fighting cancer for 6 years. She's going down this time around. The cancer has moved into her lungs and she just has no reserve to fight.




She ended up in the hospital with pneumonia last month. From there they moved her to a rehab center, but now they are looking at hospice. 




Why her?



Brigitte has been such a positive person the whole time I've known her.

She truly is a beautiful person within and without.

If she only had $5 to her name, she would give it to you in a heartbeat.



Now we are watching her die.

I so was hoping she would make it to April 3 at least, her birthday.

One more celebration.

But I'm not sure she's gonna make it that far.

Well, I've vented for now......think I'll have a glass of wine, and try to let it go for now.

Thanks for listening......

Finished projects......

Wow~~~

Didn't realize it's been so long since I've wrote on here.

Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years just seems to have flown by.

Diagonal Afghan




I did manage to finish up three projects I've been working on.





Made my new grandbaby an afghan and blankie, made another baby afghan for a friend of my daughter and finished a granny square afghan.

Pretty Pink Pinwheels



Now, am starting a mile-a-minute afghan, trying to use up all the blue colors in my yarn boxes.











Granny Square


"SMITTEN" Quilt



And.....I found a quilt pattern I am going to try to convert to an afghan.


That might be awhile in production. But, if I can pull it off, should be totally different.
