Vinny on her Birthday, Pancreatic Cancer, and a Sinus Infection


Vinny on her Birthday, originally uploaded by aaaandreaaaa.
This week, I made this double crochet scarf for Vinny on her birthday. The yarn I used was purchased from JoAnn's, and it is called Turquoise 2 Rainbow Clsc. Pttrn, Art# 01800721, and Color # 16803. I love the different vibrant shades of blues, and Vinny looks amazing.

Sorry I have been so silent because an amazing teacher, I work with found out she has Pancreatic cancer. We were all very hopeful, but they couldn't do anything for her, so they sewed her back up. Now she has three to six months to live. God be with Charlene, her family, and her friends.

I am still fighting the sinus infection, and I went back to the doctor on Monday. Finally, this weekend, I felt like doing something productive besides sitting on the couch. Blessings.

    Sorry to hear about Charlene, Andrea. It's such an awful disease. You might consider recommending her to Spirit Jump to receive encouragement. www.SpiritJump.com. It's a great charity focussed on encouraging those who are fighting cancer or other long-term or terminal illness.
