World's Worst...

I am the world's worst blogger, over a month has gone by and there has been no word from me, even though this is mostly just a place to get my thoughts out I like to think that at least a few people in the world are reading my ramblings!

In April I had a minor surgery, an endoscopy, to check on everything in my stomach, they are suspecting that I have developed Gastroparesis which might throw a kink into the Army's plans for us to move this summer. We will do whatever is necessary though since that is what we signed up to do as a family. Currently we are waiting to see if I will be command sponsored or not. This means that I am given the all clear, they have all of the medical specialists I would possibly need and what not, if I am not sponsored then our duty assignment will be changed which would be devastating since I am looking forward to our future home but as I said, we roll with the punches.

However when there is medical issues in your life there is also a lot of time spent sitting, waiting, and worrying so all of this time has helped my knitting projects get finished! Finished projects since I last posted include the Harvest cardigan, some washcloths, 2 hats, a cowl, a scarf, 2 shawls and my very first pair of toe up socks aka my second pair of socks ever. Something I have decided to do recently is an Instagram trend called #MakerMonday where I highlight a maker that I love, be it I have their products and have used them or if they are just on my bucket list, but the fiber community is amazing and I want to show my love and support to them, the first maker I selected was my dear friend Sarah of Bijoux Garden Gifts. She has just started to dye yarn on top of making her amazing project bags and stitch markers. The final thing I wanted to highlight is how amazing the fiber community is yet again, I was struggling with getting crochet peeps done for my mother's preschool class with everything else I needed to get done for Christmas gifts, hats, mothers day, Easter, and making things for when we move. They stepped up to the plate and offered to help me get them done. So thank you to Sarah and Logan for helping with the peeps and I also wanted to thank my darling friend Jack who constantly reminded me that I can make what I want to make as long as it makes me happy and he also offered love, encouragement, and support when needed.

One of 5 bags I have from Sarah, I obviously love her and I love Doctor Who
