[Nfb-krafters-korner] I did it again...

Fri Dec 31 04:04:15 UTC 2010

congratulations on your weight loss Terry.  I have been on ww 2 or 3 times 
and find I do much better on other plans, but to each his own. I'm on 
Nutrisystem right now.
Happy krafting.

Oh, and I gave away the belt I tied in the macrame class I taught earlier 
this year.  (Yes, I finally finished it.  Nice to have the holidays to 
motivate finishing things.)
It was a green belt with red beads in the zigzag pattern.  I gave it to Mom 
and she was very happy to receive it.  She had some hints as to what it was 
since I asked her to measure her waist.  It is a perfect size for her.

Anyway, it has been many years since I did homemade gifts for family 
members. This year I have been picking up the yarn etc and doing stuff I 
haven't done since high school.  Oh well.

Did anyone else make gifts this year?

I am just starting rehab training.  I need some cooking skills, a little 
help on cleaning and computer skills.  They are trying to help me cook and 
clean in a way that meets my health needs.  I have back problems and also am 
watching my weight.  I have lost about 60 lbs on Weight Watchers, so far.

Hi Terry P.
Yes, it is an enormous responsibility to take a pet and it is a forever home 
that they need. I do have 2 dogs and 2 cats, and that is all I can do, too.
It is an enormous responsibility, for sure.  Lynda
