I had 2 skeins of Red Heart Sashay that had knot sin them at the end.. the one piece was long enough to just make a little ruffle scarf for my youngest grand daughter.. the other piece I had was a lot less.. so I took a little pony tail rubber band and crochet around it with the ruffled yarn.. and here is the result...<br />

Being alone isn’t the only issue. Sometimes it isn’t until your loved one is gone that you realize all they did for you . I have had to deal with several firsts for me : as in a hospital stay for chest pain, heart cath, found out I have blockages in my right leg that need to be taken care of and also a pseudo aneurysm in my left caused by the heart cath. (it is actually a more common side effect of a heart cath). Tomorrow appointment with a vascular surgeon to see how to take care of it all… Dietmar was always there for me when things like this happened now its my kids I lean on especially my son. But life goes on as they say as hard as it sometimes is,,</p> <p>I have started some changes in my life. I changed my facebook page </p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Mausie-loves-Looms/131054273661796" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/pages/Mausie-loves-Looms/131054273661796</a></p> <p>for my looming to a non profit and have started making baby hats and blankets to donate to the hospital in Dietmar’s memory. Some people have asked me why not chemo hats or hospice Its simple right now I want to deal with the living not the dying.,, why don’t you stop by and say hello to me</p> <p>We all deal with grief differently and I think he would like the baby thing since he was so crazy about our littlest grand daughter….</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-iQluCAyx3rQ/UQp5ljVrK9I/AAAAAAAAAmI/Otj2wYc535M/s1600-h/778751_10151160487767574_1893507783_o%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="778751_10151160487767574_1893507783_o" border="0" alt="778751_10151160487767574_1893507783_o" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-3bvTv8jrfGw/UQp5ma2qqhI/AAAAAAAAAmQ/PczWXUWO2DQ/778751_10151160487767574_1893507783_o_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="184"></a>She fell asleep in the box she was playing in… Our little sunshine.</p> <p>After thinking long and hard about it I have decided to look for a new place to live this house has good memories but also bad ones and being closer to my son who lives in town I think would be a good thing for me.</p> <p>I was hesitant about where but since my daughter lives further out in the country than me even though its only 10-15 minutes to town when you have chronic health issues then those minutes can be a lifetime as I found out 3 weekends ago.

Yesterday hubby and I went to Hobby Lobby and Jo-ann’s…. yummy yarn was bought and another purple KK hatloom. </p> <p>The reason being is I have several orders for hats..

Have to try to make one with a bit more contrasting colors to really show what it looks like.</p> <p>anyhow some of my german friends really like the german type hats and put in some orders… so this weekend will be a marathon of hat making.</p> <p>I finally found my mannequin head so I can take other pics besides using my little model…lol. As you can tell Allison is not to happy about hats when I put them on her.</p> <p>My cocoon is coming along… working on the top part now .</p> <p>Hope you all are having a good weekend. We have had a whole week of just slow slow rain. looks a bit gray all the time but you know its ok. I love the cooler weather since I have more energy….</p> <p>for today you all have a wonderful weekend..Hugs Birgit</p> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00440506448855433362noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315721748755826919.post-56546591729248413122011-09-03T09:21:00.001-05:002011-09-03T09:21:23.463-05:00Happy Hot Hot Saturday………..<p>So September decided to treat us with a heat advisory with temps climbing to 102*…yuck, thank heaven we are supposed to have a cold front moving through starting tomorrow with temps going down into the windows and doors open category…..YEA…..</p> <p>Abby likes school,,lol </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-EXWzuBM7xWk/TmI33U1MfrI/AAAAAAAAAWQ/ZpRO8YzveEE/s1600-h/310916_10150357531893488_613333487_9928943_5790702_n%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="310916_10150357531893488_613333487_9928943_5790702_n" border="0" alt="310916_10150357531893488_613333487_9928943_5790702_n" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-fW9Jhc9ZzQU/TmI33wczeRI/AAAAAAAAAWU/TuKoBDQjMxY/310916_10150357531893488_613333487_9928943_5790702_n_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="184"></a> waiting on the school bus…..</p> <p>Looks just like here mommy…..</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-00dvbwYWhkc/TmI34S4iwdI/AAAAAAAAAWY/kzlqoZH9H18/s1600-h/cheerleader%252520katie%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="cheerleader katie" border="0" alt="cheerleader katie" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-hLQnxc1zXtk/TmI34kgdx2I/AAAAAAAAAWc/T_K8VQUIrh8/cheerleader%252520katie_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="175" height="244"></a>can’t remember when this was taken but Katie was really young here…..lol</p> <p>On a good news front Mom got home from the hospital yesterday….She still isn’t feeling up to par but she is getting better.</p> <p>Oh Guess what I won…….Yes I won a $50 e gift certificate from <a href="http://www.germandeli.com……..loads">www.germandeli.com……..loads</a> of german goodies to order which I did last nite already……Couldn’t wait…..</p> <p>I am still working on my cocoon on the Martha Stewart loom.. gotta remember to take a pic of it…..</p> <p>for now stay safe and have a Happy Holiday weekend.</p> <p>hugs Birgit</p> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00440506448855433362noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315721748755826919.post-34591809579125373062011-08-28T08:46:00.001-05:002011-08-28T08:46:42.547-05:00Happy Sunday to all<p>Well my friends its been an interesting week here at Mausie’s house..</p> <p>Hubby sick with the fly mom sick with the flu wait wait the fly you say??yes my dears…and mom decided to go one step further and wake me up at 6 am yesterday morning with I can’t breathe,,,,,,Oh my with heart problems and COPD ambulance was called… well her flu turned into pneumonia. She was at doc’s wednesday but apparently the atb’s she got prescribed weren’t cutting it so by saturday her white count up to 21000 and all labs just totally off. so Mom is in the hospital on Iv antibiotics, steroid shots, lovenox injections,blood sugar checks ( no she doesn’t have diabetes but steroids can make your blood sugars go high) her O2 sats finally came up from yesterday morning where she was constantly below 80 ( they even put her on a non rebreather mask) but since this morning she is on nasal cannula. but still loads of crackles and rales in both lungs so in she will stay a few days/…</p> <p>On my front so far knocking on wood I am well……</p> <p>did have doc appointment wednesday with cardio,.he put me on a newer med called Ranexa that is supposed to help with small vessel circulation etc etc.. Lets see if it helps I sure hope so…..I am working on a baby cocoon on my Martha Stewart loom. I am doing it in the oval… long oval since I am making it as a trial for a 9 month old…I still like the Martha Looms…. I really really love the fact you can change the gauge on them by just using her different pegs colors…. I like the light blue pegs the most it makes such a lovely tight knit stitch… but for the cocoon I am using the large pink pegs with a hole skipped so its larger gauge especially since I am using the red heart cloud yarn. with its fuzzy ness and tending to just get caught in the hook and stuff I thought it would be better to go the larger way… </p> <p>Anyhow all my east coast friends please continue to stay safe </p> <p>hugs to all Birgit</p> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00440506448855433362noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315721748755826919.post-13953758780748212262011-08-23T10:39:00.001-05:002011-08-23T10:39:33.609-05:00Cake and baby cocoon<p>So the cake is gone…lol </p> <p>here is the last 2 pieces</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-XDkANXP1XtU/TlPJra_KCxI/AAAAAAAAAWA/BMvy0IgxLJA/s1600-h/100_1188%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none;
