Hello July

 

Well it's already July. 😳 I have a bunch of doctor appointments this month.. 😭 I have to go tomorrow for blood work. Sigh... At least I don't have to go every two weeks for chemo and radiation every day, any more. Sigh...  This is "Survivorship Care". 🙄 I just want to be done with doctors!!  
Anyway, I finished the 4th of July gnome yesterday. I wanted to get it done. Because. Well, 4th of July is almost here. And, I wanted to start a Purple People Eater. 😁 All I had left to crochet were the arms, and the nose and tie. And stuff and sew everything together. Which was a little nerve wracking.. But it all looks all right. The hat was a pain getting on, then I had to tack it all down (like around the nose, and to the arms. I tacked it down in the back, too). I think he is cute! 
I was trying to get a good clear picture... I guess it didn't help. I was thinking he needs a little flag. 😁 I looked for some yesterday, I couldn't find any little tiny ones. Last night I was thinking I could make one. With a toothpick. I don't know how I could do the stars, though... 
I "decorated" for 4th of July. Something to keep me (and my mind) occupied.. 
I got all my towels and I don't remember where or when I got that banner. I think Hobby Lobby. Who knows. I know I had it on the front door last summer or the summer before, and it kept knocking against the door from the wind and it was irritating so I took it off. I just stuck it on the wall. 🤷
And my little patriotic gnome salt and pepper shakers. 😁 I was thinking, I should crochet a 4th of July table runner..  Maybe I could find one somewhere to just buy. I have too many crochet projects going right now, or in mind to crochet..
And, I decorated my flower pot, too.  We also got a new flag for the front porch, I don't know if I ever blogged about it. It was a couple months ago? Our old one was all ripped apart from the wind. 
I know I crocheted a Patriotic Banner, but I don't know where that is... My sewing room is such a pain to try and get to anything.
