It's Wednesday and I'm Crocheting!

It's mid-September and my deadline for getting all the coral together for our Lake Bonneville Crochet Reef is fast approaching!  I'm crocheting even more than usual.  Whenever my hands aren't occupied with typing or the very rare household chores getting done now, there is a crochet hook in my hand.  I carry it in the car with me even - when DH is driving!  Up there are a couple of pieces I did this week.  I don't know what kind of creature they are, purely imaginary:)

Our community crocheters keep giving me bags of various coral, kelp, and sea creatures that they've made.  My studio is starting to fill up, which is exciting!

Some of the pieces they make are so darn cute they make me squeal!

The night before last, I crocheted in my sleep all night.  I was creating a regular piece of brain coral, where I used acrylic yarn for several rounds, then switched and crocheted a band of wool.  Then I switched back to acrylic, and finally threw it in the hot washing machine to felt the wool part.  This is how I dream sometimes!  I wake up exhausted!  So, yesterday I had to sit here and work through this with my conscious mind; you know how sometimes things make perfect sense in your dream, but not so much once you're awake.  I have an idea now of what it's going to look like once that band of wool shrinks up, so I have to try it!  I'll let you know how that comes out!

I do think that once this exhibit is up, I am going to take (try to take!) two weeks off from doing any kind of fiddly work with my hands.  Shall we take bets on how long that will last?  Yeah, I can't sit still without something for my hands to do.

Alright, back to work!  I'll try to have my funky dream piece done by Friday.  See ya then!
