On one of the messages I mentioned that I had finally kept one of the doilies I made for myself, and that someday when she was ready to try string crochet with the little bitty hook, she should let me know because I have so many gorgeous patterns. The one I kept is a type of 3-D crochet, and it's only about twelve inches, but has a raised pattern on one side. I said it wasn't nearly as difficult as the "circle of doves" I made for a few special people, and she sent me back this small photo.
You can't tell, but it's big. I'll have to ask Schmath to comment on point to point inches, but I'd guess 30?
I had to laugh. How could I forget that I had made one for her when she got married? I will admit that a lot of memories got blown away when I had a couple of very long seizures a couple of years ago. It's just strange that I have absolutely no memory of it at all, even though I can remember buying her an Intellitouch guitar tuner for her wedding shower. She said I also made her a music book to go with it, but that's gone from the memory banks as well. Weird.
So, Schmath, thanks for helping replace some of the empty spaces in my head. It keeps what's left from rattling around. And I hope people will visit your new knitting blog to see how quickly you've learned two of my favorite hobbies and what great things you're already making. I'm impressed. I do wish we lived close enough to distract each other with our music, though. I feel some country gospel coming on.

Do you remember making me a video of your songs? I think that was part of the gift too.
Nope. I did that? A video? My neurologist said that some of my memories would come back, and some would be gone forever. I guess amnesia isn't just a Hollywood plot device, huh? Was it any good?
I remember the "circle of doves" doilie that you made for Schmath, it is gorgeous! When I first saw it I just thought it was a pineapple pattern, but as soon as you said doves, they popped right up and said hello ;)
Now, about this video . . . Schmath, are you going to put it up on youtube so we can all see it???
Sherrie—You've GOT to be kidding!
Well, I was giggling as I typed it, but NOT maliciously. I would love to see it, though. :)
You you made a video and couldn't remember making it, would you want to see it on the internet?
Actually, it turns out it's a CD, so you're not so forgetful after all! It's good though. I'm listening to it right now.
I'm so relieved. I remember making two CDs—one was country gospel, one was Christmas Music. I still need to record one of my "idiot" songs.
Of course I wouldn't want a video of myself on the internet - I avoid any type of camera if at all possible. Sorry for the scare.
Can I still get a copy of your "idiot" songs CD? They are some of my favorites and my collection would be incomplete without it!
I'll probably record it in the Spring.
