I've been out of hospital over a week now.  The hospital was rough.  The first few days back were rough too.  I am not improved- in fact I am still working on not being worse than when I went in.  I think the new medication they're trying me on is making me dizzy and light-headed... It's making it really hard to get anything done.

Still, I'm trying!  You may have noticed I put a bunch of pieces up.  I'm going to try to get back to work on my helm pattern before other people's helms and patterns make me completely irrelevant!

Wow, that looks depressing now that I'm reading it back.  Allow me to try again:

Being in the hospital was horrible, it always is.  The treatment didn't work, but it is good that I tried it!  Now I can keep trying more new things until something does work.  I'm not giving up! I'm going to keep going on a strict, optimistic regime of trying new treatments and medications, and while I do that I will try to get as much crochet done as possible.

I love you, internet friends!  :huggle:  Thank you for all your concern and support.

And thank you for thinking my crochet is cool and innovative.  Feeling like what I'm creating is important is vital to my mental health. :w00t: Viva La Crochet Revolution! :w00t: :salute:

I used to do lots of things. Then I got a headache. Now I only do one thing, and that thing is crochet. I crochet very well. I will soon be producing patterns and stitch reference guides.

Sprites! Little fuzzy crochet things with eyes. I have always liked making them, what are your thoughts?

Thank you for the favs and for the watch! :)
You've got an amazing gallery! I'm not good at commenting art but, damn, you really made crochet into a brave new art, the way you create is incredible!

Your dolls are criminally underappreciated! They deserve a lot more attention than they're getting here. I'm just glad I stumbled upon them so that I can continue to see your work!

Also thank you for the return watch- I've really dedicated myself to crochet, but sometimes I have doubts and wonder if I shouldn't have chosen fabric or felting instead... It's positive feedback from fellow artists that keeps me from despairing. There's so much left to do with crochet- I've got to stick to it! Although your gallery has rather inspired me to try applying more needle-sculpting to my work. I think that could create something really interesting...
