Being a crafty person who is used to having several projects in process at once, and spending long hours sitting in a hospital does not a great combination make. Thankfully there’s crochet which is portable, productive, comforting and not something I always have time to do.
On the way home from the hospital the night I arrived to see my mom, yes…I stopped at Michaels!
What can I say? It’s a comforting place for me. I wandered the aisles looking for nothing in particular and then saw this yarn by Loops and Threads in Lavender Blues. Bingo. The Mumster’s always cold ( even living in Arizona!) so I decided I’d make her a wrap.
Pretty basic. The yarn is very textured so I just did a single crochet stitch. Something I could do without thinking while Mom was napping.
The store I was closest to didn’t have enough yarn so when I needed more , thanks to my Michaels iPhone app, not only could I find another store but even get directions to get there and a coupon right on my phone!
It’s great to be back home, but it’s better to know that the Mumster is home and doing great!

I am so happy for you and what great news. I love your crochet project. My mom loved to crochet and I really never learned. Again, I am so happy she is doing well and recovering. Rhonda
It's beautiful, I know she'll love it! I know exactly what you mean about needing to be making something. Glad she's doing better and Happy Spring!

I'm so glad your mom is back home, Carol! And I'm glad you had something to keep your mind busy. The cover up is beautiful!
Hi Carol,
You had me at "Craft Therapy." Glad your Mother is recuperating well. To me, a stroll through Michael's is right up there with valium :)
I can't believe how quickly you whipped it out! It's so pretty! And I hear you on Michaels! xo
Your wrap is so lovely, Carol! I love the soft color.
So glad to hear that your mom is on the mend!
