December '10 Charity CAL 12/16 - 12/21

Well, I fell down yesterday while taking out the trash. I got snow on my shoes. When I came back in the house, I left a little water on the floor. I made another trip outside and slipped on the water. I have a step down from the kitchen to the back door/basement. I fell in there. I hit my back on the step. You should see the bruise! I cut my knee, bruised my elbow and twisted an ankle. I don't know how I managed to fall the way I did. I'm sore, but thankfully, my right arm/hand is perfectly fine. There will be crocheting and Christmas present wrapping in my future!

Thank YOU!!!!!! They are a little bigger than the regular nooks. My hubby created a monster when he said I could get one. Now not only does the oldest daughter have one (for Christmas) my twins want one as well... They are there mothers daughters....

I LOVE to read - always have - so even though Hubby doesn't understand the fascination...or my love of gadgets... he got me my Nook a few months ago. I've been sooooo happy ever since.

I have 2 hats done and a 3rd started. I didn't get any crocheting done yesterday, my daughter and I had to take my grandson to the ER straight from church because the congestion from the cold he has was making it difficult for him to breathe. He stayed overnight and I'm home with his big sister waiting to hear from my daughter.

Oh, no! I hope he's okay. :hug

Oh, no! Please be careful. Winter weather is nasty in more ways than one. :hug

I'm so sorry! I missed this post yesterday. Have you heard anything yet? I pray he's okay.

I'm bruised and banged up. I'm definitely sore, but I hope it's better tomorrow. I have so much to get done before Friday.

Yeah and we're supposed to get more snow/sleet/ice tonight.

Take it easy and rest up if you can.

 

I haven't done any crocheting in the past couple of days. I woke up yesterday with a toothache and have an appointment this afternoon. I have a feeling my charity weekend is pretty much over, but we'll see. I'll post my results tomorrow morning.

[judianne]

TOTALS: 2 HAP rectangles

4, 12 inch squares

the squares are now being bordered to finish up the lapghan!

[Needle Arts]

Do not think I'll be able to do much today. I did get the baby afghan done.

Yarn for hats and afghan were from a RAOK gift. Scarf from yarn leftover from cowl.

 

Totals:

 

3 baby hats

1 preemie afghan

1 scarf

Sure hope everyone is feeling better today. Trips to the ER and falls are no fun whenever they happen. Best wishes!

[cshort]

Thank you for your prayers and good wishes. My grandson is home from the hospital and doing much better, he still has a cold but he is breathing good.

 

My count this month is

3 hats

[nicolep]

Thanks for posting totals, ladies. I'll have to count my rectangles when I get home. I can't remember how many I finished. Lack of sleep...my brain is mush today.

[jenniferelyse74]

I'm gonna go ahead and post my totals since I can't see me getting any more done.

 

2 HAP rectangles

1 baby RR (was a WIP)

 

I will have to wait until tomorrow to take pics. DH needs the camera for work and has it in the car already so he doesn't forget it. Tomorrow is going to be a big day at the National Guard armory where he works. There are 3 busses coming home after the long journey from Iraq, where the soldiers have been for the past year. (DH actually belongs to a different unit that didn't go to Iraq this time, but he volunteered to work for them, stateside, to provide support while they were gone.) He has been super busy the past couple of days coordinating with the the Shreveport Police Department and Louisiana State police to have them escorted from the Mississippi state line. That's about a 4 hour drive. Also, he has arranged with the Shreveport Fire Department to have two ladder trucks with a huge American flag to be suspended over the entrance to the armory. I'm so proud of him for taking on all the extra time and energy to see that these soldiers are welcomed home properly.

[Needle Arts]

Jennifer, thank your husband for me too.

[patterncollector]

Glad your grandson is home and doing better, CShort, sorry about your fall Nicole and glad nothing was broken, Jennifer, Thank your husband for all the hard work he has done, Dorothy and other nook owners, enjoy your nooks. I got another scarf halfway done for a Christmas gift, but no more hats for this CAL so my total stands at 6 hats.

Total: 6 Hats

Have a safe and joyful Christmas, Everyone!

[nicolep]

I'll give a little more time for totals to be posted, then I'll post the final count.

Well I am sorry to be the one who wanted to start early and then disappear. Mom went to the hopital on Friday night with a brain bleed due to her blood disorder. She was moved from Neuro ICU to Neuro Rehab yesterday. We'll be spending Chirstmas at the hospital. She can't walk or use her right hand much, which is too bad because she likes to crochet too. She alternates between bored, mad and depressed.

See you next month.

I'm so sorry.

[Needle Arts]

Babypoohsmom...so sorry to hear your mother is not well and sending prayers for good care and recovery. I know she will appreciate your being there with her and your support. My DD just went through this with her future MIL who was also an avid crocheter/knitter.

[babypoohsmom]

Thanks Nicole and Darlene! I appreciate it much.

Odd that all of this started last month during the charity CAL when her nose would not stop bleeding. Maybe I won't join next month after all. Hmm.
