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.

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.
