Back in the saddle (so to speak)

It's been an adventurous two weeks. My family has been going through some stuff, coming to terms with the fibromyalgia and the sleep disorder, and also there's been some tussling and strife over my daughter. I think we've ironed it out. Sometimes the knots and bumps in the road a family takes are the hardest to iron out, so the last week hasn't been easy.  On the bright side I think we're doing better for it. Funnily enough, I think there is as much change to get used to for my family as I come out of my fibro funk and begin to reinvent my life despite the illness, as there was getting used to the illness in the first place.

This week I am doing double showcases on Etsy.com for my crocheted items. This has lit a fire under my behind to get 2 of my shawls up, photo'd and DONE. Here they are. :)

So there has been lots of crafting going on over here. I have also taken a few more jewelry making classes and I am starting to get good at wire wrapping. I've been doing some of that with turquoise, which I don't have a good picture of yet, and some more earrings and memory wire bracelets.

 I am torn now between wanting to make jewelry and wanting to crochet and am finding myself now combinging the two. I have 2 projects coming up now that I've taught myself to bead. I am liking this juxtaposition!
