Regularity

Looks like I'm about a once-a-weeker. Had a wierd week last week dd (5 yrs old) had shingles. Shingles??!! "But old people get that!", everyone said. Yes, and sometimes little girls too. It attacked the nerve going down her right leg and it HUUUUUUUURT. Few things are as horrible as a child weeping in pain. Dd is usually an on the go kind of a person too, so seeing her curled up on the couch for days on end was disturbing. She had walking pneumonia a couple of years ago and we called it running, skipping, leaping pneumonia. That gives you the idea.

But she is back at Kindergarten this week and feeling good. As the doc said, our kids get the wierd stuff, but it is all stuff you get better from. Something to be mindful and thankful about!

I have been participating in the One Skein swap. It is now over. I had such a good experience. Both my secret pal and the person for whom I was a secret pal were wonderful and sweet. Here is one picture, my July surprises before I sent them off. The person I was pal to was a crocheter, so I made her a needle holder out of felted sweater wool and fabric. The polka dot fabric was new and the flowers from one of dd's dresses that got bleach on it.
