Bounce Back

So I've decided to have another stab @ this blogging now that I'm cancer free and done with chemo. Thought maybe I should make this another blog about dealing with chemo and lymphoma, but honestly, I live it and deal with it every day, and this blog is one of my escapes from it. I may mention my health from time to time but don't subscribe to me for cancer updates in the news and a general personal day to day view of my health.


Cancer has decided my life course for little over a year now, but I'm free now and ready to regain control. I had to put much on hold in my Rennie world that I hope to straighten out now, as well as get my crafting business back up going. I was unable to travel to Arizona this year for either work or play due to the timing of my last round of chemo. I will however, be at Georgia this year, either working or playing. I've scheduled a craft fair the first of April and I've got plans for some new products. So let's get Hooking!


So here you have a baby blanket that I finished recently for my daughter's best friend. I actually got it done on time too! I fell in love with the colors she choose and the design I made for her so much so that I am writing it up in a stroller blanket size to put on revelry. I'm also remaking it in this size as a sample of my custom work. It will be displayed at my craft fairs as a sample with a sign saying that I take custom orders. I have also been doing these adorable pocketbooks which are available custom as well.






Well that's it for covering my general bounce back. I talked of plans and some new things brewing here but there is still more in the works. I have already taken photos of several projects in progress to show you, as well as got many more inspirational ideas to talk about. Please comment in the section below about anything you've read, seen, or heard here that piques your interest! I'm open to new ideas as well. Thank you.

Cancer News

Which is not good, btw. I started a second round of chemo last week as I now have a lymph node with non- Hodgkins lymphoma. My case is a rare one to have switched cancers. Second round of chemo is going ok so far it's just that I have to be hospitalized during each treatment.

I have been working on a few crochet projects just not recently. I've been busy with the Ren Faire the last month and a half and I have one weekend of it left. Here is one dishcloth I completed using a pattern from Crochetville. I also worked on a scrapghan project but I don't have the picture on my phone. I need to make more cancer awareness ribbons as well in different colors as I've been slack on this.

I did finish up my outfit for the Ren Faire and through together some eclectic pieces from old costumes to match the other bodice I had bought and both turned out looking good. I like the thrown together one best. I will find find pics of both to post. I still have the dress to make for the green bodice and the steam punk costume to make as well so I need to get my butt to sewing. Faire is over after this coming weekend though. So those new outfits will be worn probably at Georgia next year.

I'm going to try and do a small crochet giveaway here soon as well as posting a new hand warmer pattern I came up with. Things have just been hectic with the Faire but they will slow back down with me being on chemo again. Hope everyone has a blessed day and thanks for reading.
