I did it! I got out of my chair and into my car for a trip to Hobby Lobby to buy a crochet hook and some yarn. The yarn I bought is a beautiful, soft cream colored yarn. It's really lovely and feels so good. It was a slow start learning to do the bauble, but I finally got the hang of it and before I knew it, I had quite a bit done. I draped it across the tree just to get a feeling for how it will look next year and I think it will be very pretty. I still have a bunch to do, but it does go quickly.
Tomorrow I have to go to the Social Security office and take a copy of my marriage certificate. There is just so much to do when a spouse dies. I think I'm doing ok in that area. I've been dealing with SS for some time now and this is the first time they asked for the marriage certificate. I'm beginning to wonder if the right hand knows what the left hand is doing.
I still have a bit of shopping to do. I probably will not get to it until next week. I really don't want to shop on the weekend.
I hope you're having a great week. Thanks for stopping by.
You're doing great! It will look so good on your tree.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it seem crazy that you have to bring the marriage license in, when it's the government you need to get a copy of it from if you need one? Seems they could see it in their online files.
Your tree is gorgeous. I hope you are going to leave the garland on it. And what a cool looking crochet hook you found!
