Hello all.
I've been silent on the list for months as things have been happening in my life that have taken me away from the computer. I had a medical issue that put me in the hospital for months and I am now in a nursing home/rehab care center on a ventilator, with a trach in my neck and the whole bit.  I am able to adjust the trach so I can speak, though, thank heaven.
I have my laptop here with me and I wanted to report on something good that came from a class on the krafters list.
I took the class on crocheting Easter eggs, and made a few, which I gave away.  Now in the care center I asked my mother to bring in a variety of bright colored yarns and my crochet hook and I started making a basket full of Easter eggs.  I then started giving them away to visitors and to nurses and aids.  They've really gone over big.  People love them.  I let them pick a color and then I replenish the supply by making more.
It's funny, but I think the nurses and aids are much nicer and more patient with me after I give them their egg...;) I also have gotten the pattern down to a science so they don't have the mistakes that I made in some of the first eggs I crocheted.  I stuff them with polyester fiber fill.

Anyway, I thought I'd mention it and say thanks to whoever it was that sent out the pattern.
Happy krafting all!
I'm going to investigate more of the krafter classes sometime.
Till then, have a great week!
