INVISIBLE INK - Another SJ Prayer Shawl

Mon, 01 Sep 2008 10:44:25 -0500

Seems to bring relief from the 'ninjas', so I've completed my third SJ Prayer Shawl. Hope the recipient feels the warmth and comfort of her Soul Journey sisters. Stay inspired! ~me

INVISIBLE INK - sharing the SJ hug

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 19:05:13 -0500

I was wonderfully surprised by a beautiful crochet Prayer Shawl given to me by a fellow Soul Journey sister. She crocheted my shawl with love, in hopes to ease my pain and wrap me in a Soul Journey hug filled with all the love and support of my friends. Hope you'll check out my version of a SJ Prayer Shawl in the Yarns & Threads exhibit located in the Brain Scan gallery. Stay inspired! ~me

I seem to be on a cap craze lately. You can check out my latest creations in the Yarns & Threads gallery. Stay inspired! ~me

INVISIBLE INK - Power of the Ninjas

Sun, 13 Jul 2008 22:58:17 -0500

In answer to the question - Who are the ninjas you speak of? The ninjas are one description I came up with when trying to explain to my husband a particular painful sensation I was experiencing in my legs. I could picture miniature ninjas running around inside the muscles and veins in my calves and thighs with little swords and slicing me up with sharp cold. Now I use the 'ninja' term when I'm experiencing pain or bizarre symptoms because it's easier than explaining the millions of invisible things happening to me at any given moment. Stay inspired! ~me

INVISIBLE INK - Crochet Slippers

Sun, 13 Jul 2008 00:59:50 -0500

This slipper project was definitely a test of patience and perseverance. I wanted to make sockettes or slippers for my Mom, but all the patterns read like a foreign language to me. No matter how many times I read them, I could not comprehend. Tonight I thought I'd give it another shot. Success! Hope you'll check out the 'crochet slippers' I made for my Mom. Stay inspired! ~me

INVISIBLE INK - Crochet Cap

Sat, 12 Jul 2008 10:02:17 -0500

After many attempts at crocheting a 'chemo cap', I finally managed to finish one of my own design. I'm hoping it fits the intended recipient both in size and taste. If not, I will donate it to the hospital. Since crochet has so far proven to be the best ninja fighting therapy, I've decided I'd like to give to the community by crocheting and donating chemo caps, baby booties and blankets where needed. Stay inspired! ~me

INVISIBLE INK - First Crochet Throw

Tue, 24 Jun 2008 17:00:47 -0500

I'm so proud! I learned to decifer the pattern instructions and manage the stitches required to make my first Crochet Throw. Stay inspired! ~me

INVISIBLE INK - Whimsical butterfly tails

Sun, 22 Jun 2008 22:57:33 -0500

I needed to practice some single and double crochet stitches for an afghan I'm hoping to make tomorrow, so I started a little project and then added some colour and tails and Marian's Crochet Butterfly came to life! It's just a bit of colour and whimsy to attach to the corner or edge of something to bring a smile, like one of those things hanging from the rear view mirror. It's only function is love. Stay inspired! ~me

INVISIBLE INK - Remembering Grandma

Fri, 20 Jun 2008 02:41:08 -0500

My Grandma Germain passed away four years ago today. The world lost a special soul that day. I was honoured to share her final moment, the hardest and most beautiful moment I have ever had to face. Miss you Gram. Stay inspired! ~me

INVISIBLE INK - First knitting project

Fri, 20 Jun 2008 00:48:06 -0500

It wasn't actually meant to be a project, but it kept getting longer and longer and once the skein of wool was finished, I seemed to have been left with a scarf. I've posted a couple pics in the Yarns & Threads exhibit. Stay inspired! ~me
