Progress

 I am making slow progress on my Costa Nova Mosaic crochet project.  I can only crochet so long before I get real sleepy. 


Cottages, beach umbrellas, light houses and fish.  The next part is more cottages they will be green. 

I am feeling a bit better...still tired.  I can stay awake longer...so that is an improvement. 

Yesterday I worked on fine sanding woodcarved Christmas Ornaments, twenty are ready to wood burn...then paint, then seal, then decorate and put names and year on them...it is a process.   Far Guy has carved about 67 over the summer and has about 33 to go.  So he will be busy until mid September.

Your blanket is gorgeous. I need to get my mosaic that I started and get busy so it will be done by Christmas. Congrats on the ornament progress!

That blanket is going to be a stunner. I'm sorry that you're still struggling with being so tired. You are both on a roll with the ornaments. I know that anyone who receives one will cherish it. I know I do mine.
Blessings,
Betsy

Wow, Costa Nova is beautiful. Grab some rest every time you have the opportunity - your body needs it.

That is just beautiful but looks so hard to do. You are so talented. Never seen anything like it! Your talent, that is. Is there anything you can't do? :)

67 ornamaents carved -- and another 33 to go! Wow! I can't remember if you've ever told us, but what is the most ornaments you guys have made in one year? // I love the crochet design! Love how the fishies are made, simple and cute. // I've read back on your posts about what you've been dealing with, the Lyme disease and all. Been keeping you in prayer that your strength returns and all will be well for you soon! Blessings, my friend!
