Somebody Stop Me

In the past week, I have done a great many things. Many of them were little and don't amount to much, but a few were great (at least to me.) I spent time with my mother (she is doing better), I called my in-laws more often, I completed my crochet afgan for E. After completing the aforementioned afghan, I tried to find a poem or saying about homemade or crocheted gifts given with love online. I was unsuccessful.... so, I wrote one. It is by no means Emily Dickinson or Robert Frost but it served its purpose. My friend was very pleased with the afghan and has promised to send me her version of the poem. The original is this:

What began as balls of string
Has now become this single thing
Imperfect as I know it may be
May it always remind you a little of me
Every stitch and imperfection
Was made for you with my affection.

Please feel free to mock it!!

In other noteworthy achievements, I finished a pillow for Aurelia I started when she was born and her Raggedy Ann doll I bought as a Christmas gift last year (a put it together yourself kit). Today was the construction paper jack o lantern with Daniel's class and that went well. Tomorrow is the Fall Party (EEEEK) and in the meantime, I have baked cookies and am crocheting dishcloths for my aunt. This streak must end. Really, or I may have to check in somewhere for a "vacation"!!
