The worst day since February. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I was so weak, I had to use both crutches to be able to walk about 250 meter when I had to buy some cat´s food. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Lots of pain to. Frustrating a bit.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">BUT: today is just great! I was able to do some stuff for university (finally) AND i could walk 500 meter entirely without crutches! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I haven´t been able to do that for some time now, so that´s an relief.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I am on a good way now, the paralysis of my left leg is getting better every other day. And that is something i really have hoped for. Those really worse days are quite frustrating, okay, but they are getting fewer every week. <span style="font-size: large;">I just </span>have to clench my teeth just a little longer and rely on the good days.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">What still annoys me the most is that nasty little thing called Fatigue which goes hand by hand with amyasthenia :(</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It´is bugging me the most during or directly after an episode and lasts about 3 month. (which is the case right now)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There is a theory that the reason therefor is: that the brain needs all the energy one have for a day to repair or try to repair some of the damaged brain cells, so that no energy is left for the rest of me.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">That´s a really consoling thought<span style="font-size: large;">.</span> I am telling myself that having a bad day means my chances to be able to walk normally again is raising.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This day isn´t over now and I am a bit exhausted because of all the things I was capable of doing, so I will spend the rest of the day with my little Projects.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Do you want to see what <span style="font-size: large;">I</span> <span style="font-size: large;">am going</span> to work on today?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">First thing is my <b><span style="color: #a64d79;">Blue Cardigan Project</span></b>:</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I got the Cardigan about 8 Years ago and when it started to look not so pretty anymore, I crocheted some flowers and sew them onto. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I Loved it and wore it a lot (again) BUT saddly about 3 month ago I made some kind of washing mistake and the formerly white flowers got grey so that the whole thing started to look quite shabby.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">So I finally decided that the Flowers have to go and <span style="font-size: large;">I</span> will make new one. First I wanted to do the same Blossoms again but in the end <span style="font-size: large;">I</span> went for something new<span style="font-size: large;">:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">Daisies</span>! (Because <span style="font-size: large;">I</span> really love Daisies since <span style="font-size: large;">I</span> was a Kid) </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">You can find a lot of different daisy pattern on the internet, i got mine from ravelry.com (as a free Ravelry download). If you are a member of Ravelry, <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/pennys-daisy" target="_blank">here</a> is the pattern.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I already made a lot of them in the past days and I even did the *weaving in* from almost all the Flowers. That´s one bi<span style="font-size: large;">g</span> surprise (because <span style="font-size: large;">I</span> so don´t like th<span style="font-size: large;">is</span> part <span style="font-size: large;">of</span> the progress)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I haven´t removed all of the old Flowers, just t<span style="font-size: large;">hose</span> three you can see above, to show you how dirty the old one look compared to the new :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The second Project <span style="font-size: large;">I</span> am actually working on: <b><span style="color: #a64d79;">a new <span style="font-size: large;">B</span>ag</span></b>!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I chose a cheap worsted (10ply) yarn in ecru. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">First I have thought about doing some self - invented pattern, but there are so many nice already out there in the World Wide Web :)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I found <a href="http://issuu.com/talpa/docs/262_patrones_crochet" target="_blank">this</a> little treasure around a month ago<span style="font-size: large;">:</span> A <span style="color: #a64d79;">free Online Book</span> with 262 Chrochet Pattern in it! They are not written out, but charts with a picture.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The finished bag will have Strawberries attached to the front, because:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I already made a *<b><span style="color: #a64d79;">Strawberry - Princess - Cardigan</span></b>*!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I know the Cardigan may look a bit childish to some, but <span style="font-size: large;">I</span> love it and it really suits me! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">For me it looks a lot like Spring/Summer :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">After this years long and dark Winter i really needed Spring to come. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I got the ecru Cardigan at an Estate-hopping. <span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">W</span>hen someone dies there is sometimes a lot of stuff the family don´t want to keep or the deceased had no relatives. Instead of throwing away, an estate-hopping is hosted. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you want to attend you have to pay 10 Euro and you can take as many things as you want! I got a lot of fine cloth, crochet magazines, wine glasses,.. Others even got a couch or a cupboard!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I know there are people who think its morbid to take things from someone who died, but i think all the stuff was bought and loved from that person, isn´t it nicer when someone else take it and love it henceforth instead of litter it? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And its eco! (and I am a person who really cares about that)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Back to the Cardigan :) I shortend the sleeves and crocheted the Strawberries. (everything red and green is made by myself)</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Okay, that won´t count with my exercisings. I know <span style="font-size: large;">I</span> have to do my practices every day to gain my strenght back. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">My goal is to be able to entirely walk without my crutches till June and I am really working on that *Project*.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And it does work: <span style="font-size: large;">I</span> already can move my toes and (on good days) <span style="font-size: large;">I</span> can walk about 100 meters without crutches, just with my splint (which helps me to raise my forefoot). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Today <span style="font-size: large;">I</span> have violent pain but <span style="font-size: large;">I</span> won´t talk about that. Instead <span style="font-size: large;">I</span> will fo<span style="font-size: large;">c</span>us on the good things in my life! (and <span style="font-size: large;">I</span> count my crafting Projects as one of the best!)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So I want to share with you what <span style="font-size: large;">I</span> have been up to this weekend:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I (finally) finished my <span style="color: #a64d79;">Granny Square Bag</span>! I made the <span style="font-size: large;">S</span>quares about a month ago and than put it away.</span><br />

I had almost no pain, felt strong and motivated, i even could move all of my left toes! :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It´s been nearly a month since i could do that the last time.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So it seems all the those bad side effects have been worth it, and the steroids finally work!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Since i have more bad days than good ones for four month now, i try to use every better day to the fullest. and often i overdo it (both my parents and my doctors are not so happy with me about that!)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But i felt good and the sun was shining so i did a lot of homework. Cleaning up and finally repotting my chives :)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">And after my physical therapy (which was pretty exhausting) i had to relax a bit and used the time to surf a bit in the world wide web, and there i found this <a href="http://randrworkshop.blogspot.co.at/2013/04/diy-springtime-wreath.html" target="_blank">Tutorial</a> for a pretty Spring Wreath. (thank you, lovely Rachel for sharing!)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I thought about making a cute Wreath for my front door for some weeks now, honestly a plane white door is getting kind of boring after some time.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When i saw Rachels´ i knew this was the kind of thing i wanted to do and fortunatly i already had everything i needed at home - lucky me, half of my small apartment is full of fabric and yarn :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I tried different fabric combinations and decided it had to be that yellow, apricot and a fabric with little roses printed on it.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">First i had to decide whether to finish one of the Projects i already started in the last few weeks or start something new. So i browsed through my unfinished things but nothing really catched my interest (i often start with something and then it´s laying around for some weeks until i touch it again).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here are some of the started, yet <span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>unready Projects</b></span>:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have already made 10 of these in different colours to sew onto the hem of a simple black skirt i once bought on a Fleamarket for 1 Euro. I am a huge Alice in Wonderland fan since i was a kid and therefore it´s no surprise i had the crazy little tea party in mind when i made those. The Pattern i found through <a href="http://ravelry.com/">www.Ravelry.com</a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I need to do the *sewing in* part of all the yarn endings, block them and sew them onto the skirt. (but when?)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I did a hand full of those ruffled Edgings in Pink, Yellow and Purple in different sizes. They are meant to decorate my Mom´s Homemade Jam Jars and other jars like the big one for sugar you can see in the picture above. The pattern is made up by myself.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And here (again) i skipped the *sewing in* part :)</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Because i don´t own an embroidery loop yet i "invented" one, made of an old tupperware box and an elastic strap i already had at home :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As you can see above i tried myself in stitching some flowers on an old black sweater. Not nearly done yet. (unfortunately)</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You may noticed there is a lot of Pink in my Projects.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I would like to say its a temporary mood but i have to admit it´s a life lasting love i got there :) (yes, this girl´s got a great princess complex!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I started doing some kind of Pink Spring Wrath for my front door. The frame is made of attached leftover stripes of some IKEA fabric onto paperboard. Then i already started to glue crocheted flowers onto the frame but i ran out of selfmade flowers and instead grabbing the crochet hook i put the wrath into my "unfinished" box :(</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But, as mentioned above, instead of finally finish one of those, i started a <span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>new Project</b></span> (bad me!):</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I will move into a new appartment soon and thought by myself of how i want my new home to look alike:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So here are my brand new <span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>*Heart Shaped Coasters*</b></span>!</span></div>

</h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">This is my very first blog and I don´t know exactly how to start. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Maybe I should just begin to tell you some things about me, so you get to know me better.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Maybe I should try it that way:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Hello, my name is<span style="color: purple;"><b> <span style="color: #a64d79;">Cherry</span></b></span>! I am 31 years old and diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis about three years ago.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">That´s been quite a shock, I can tell you!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The hardest part for me was to make some kind of new plan. A few years ago, when i thought about my future, i saw myself in some foreign countrys, digging for bones (i should tell you i am not some kind of weirdo, i am studying anthropology! although.. thats maybe the same!).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Sadly, i can´t do this anymore. The digging would be to exhausting for me, and i can´t stand heat any longer (this is called Uthoff Syndrom: the worsening of neurologic symptoms in multiple sclerosis when the body gets overheated from hot weatherr, exercise, fever, saunas, hot tubs...)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So, for the last years I just had to take injections every day and the rest of the time I tried not to think about it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But last December this nasty little illness came back, and this time with a Bang! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">First (End of December) it effected my eye sight, making me half blind on one eye.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Then, in January, the fine motor skills of my left hand slowed down (you should see my handwriting now! fortunately i can write with both hands).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And in March parts of my left leg got paralysed.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">While others celebrated Easter with their family or friends, i had to stay in hospital (again) to get steroid infusion.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;">(Okay it´s not THAT bad. I spent so much time in Hospital in the last few month that i am already friends with some of the Doctors and Nurses, and they really did their best to cheer me up!)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Also, i got my very first crutches! :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">(I know, most people wouldn´t be happy about getting crutches, but because i can´t fully move one of my legs, it began to really really hurt when i was walking. unfortunatly, pain ´s not over yet, but it got bearable!)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I (instantly) had so many ideas in my mind to "Pimp Up" my walkers, so i began to work on them immediatly! :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">(As you can see on the (really bad) picture above, i crocheted some kind of flower twine made of mint - green and rose lace.)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I can´t think of doing something more interesting then some crochet while laying in Hospital, waiting for some analysis to be done.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I think, now you got already a hint of what´s this blog about: (..drumroll..) ME! haha</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">A life between severe illness, studying science and being creativ.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Why am i blogging?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">First (maybe) as some kind of self - help. I think writing about the things I am struggling with, might help me. I am a really optimistic person, full of hopes and a huge love of life. But even the happiest gal has a bad day every now and then.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Second reason is my colossal addiction to crafting. Sewing, crocheting, knitting, stitiching.. i love to work with my hands.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I am hooked on that *<span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>oh my, i have done that on my own!</b></span>* feeling! And i want to share it with you.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I´d like to show you the things that inspire me, in hope, you might get inspiration out of it too. I want to show you stuff i am crafting, to hear what you think about it!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Whenever you want to ask or tell me something, feel free to do so! I really look forward to hear from you!</span><br />
