Broken crochet hook fixed

I broke my crochet hook on day 1 of my last 4 day work trip! My sis said I was taking out my frustrations on my hook, LOL. It was the only one I had in that size. The others I had with me were like Goldilocks and the 3 Bears - this one is too small, this one is too big. None of my local stores had that size, so I had to order replacements (I ordered 2, just in case). Glue didn't work, so I fixed it with layers of polymer clay. I'm just hoping it will work, at least for this next 4 day work trip!

I got the idea from http://www.beadsandbeading.com/blog/

Cindy Lietz does amazing things with polymer clay.

Crocheting with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

I was diagnosed with a mild case of carpal tunnel syndrome close to 20 years ago. I was crushed, as I LOVE to crochet and have been crocheting since I was 8 years old way back in 1973 when my best friend taught me during recess in the 3rd grade.

I quit crocheting, wore a brace, and changed jobs. But I missed crocheting so much and tried to get back into it. Glucosamine helps a lot! So does wearing the brace like I'm supposed to and a hot wax bath, like the one here.

Now my hands hardly every hurt, but I still had a problem with smaller hooks. So I made my own. I just took a hook, put it inside a sponge, wrapped it with non-stick drawer liner like the one here (by the way I did get my liner and my sponge at the Dollar Tree, love that place), and wrapped thread around to secure. It's working great!

Lazy Sunday

I spent most of it either on the computer, with Mimi at my side, or out in the backyard, looking for frogs in our pond.

I can't believe Mimi let me stay up so late! It's after 8:30 and that spoiled little dog hasn't started bothering me to go nite nite yet.

Going to have a girls' day out with my sister tomorrow, can't wait!

Facebook Fan Pages - Server Not Found

I'm so frustrated! It's been almost a week, and I'm still getting the Server Not Found error when trying to upload pictures to Facebook. I don't get it! I'm using the same laptop, in the same place, with the same server, and the same settings. I was able to upload pics before, and I'm able to upload pics to other sites. So why Facebook?
