in the mood again

After struggling for month it seems I've got some energy back to do things. I had so many ideas and I was so overwhelmed by inspiration but I couldn't sort out where to start. Things start to settle now. Maybe the decision not to go to Europe this years was a good one, even I am still struggling with the idea not to see my son. For mums the kids will always be a/the importants part of our life, but of course that isn't the same for the kids. They move on, have their own life and we have to let them go, just follow them in our heart.
But here is also a lot going on, with the baby granddaughter around every week and my oldest grandson diagnosed with Type 1 diabetis recently. Alex is on the 6 month waiting list to see a specialist for his back and hip problems, which is annoying that it takes so long when he is in so much pain and cannot move much.
Some exhibitions are also coming up the next months...
Anyway the last week I've got some things done, which I would like to show, nothing exciting, just ordinary things to put in the shop.
funky hair ties still drying 
I beat the knitting machine and finally finished a pair of socks.
They are slightly too big for me but I will NOT undo them again.

I am not sure if I like it or not. It didn't turn out exactly how I wanted it to be.
I am thinking about some embellishment
