still not quite myself

As you can see, I'm still not quite myself (thanks for the pic, Haley!).  I feel like my head weighs as much as a city bus due to congestion.  This means that I have not been able to be on the computer much to reply to emails, join in all the reindeer fun, or do some actual crocheting. 

Fortunately I have managed to write my piece for the "Crochet Connections" column (if you are a CGOA member with Internet access, this column is part of the eNews you receive), and I have been doodling various concept ideas for the Helping Hands Auction that will take place at the Conference this summer -- pretty much stuff I can do laying down.

I've also been entertaining myself by enjoying a new Crocheting & Tatting booklet  published in 1916 by Coats & Clark I had won from an ebay auction (yes, I know it's not NEW, but it is NEW to me, and it totally rocks!), as well as reading various crochet books dating back to the late 1970s that I had borrowed from my local library last week.  And sleeping.  Yes, lots of sleep!  This should teach me not to gloat!  :\

Feel better reallllllll soon, Dee!  Hate to hear that you're sick.

Love the pic! :)

Wow!  An antique crochet book!  Lucky you!  Any major differences in patterns back then from how they are today, other than style?

Drink lotsa fluids and get plenty of rest!

Love,
Sheila
