A mother's sorrow
Thursday, 31 January 2008 4:50 P GMT-06
While at choir practice Wednesday night, the director advised the choir of a former church member's difficult decision. Her son suffered a medical condition that lead to a heart attack, which has left him brain dead. She is having trouble allowin

I'm failing at this thing called Loyalty
Thursday, 31 January 2008 10:16 A GMT-06
Or Faithfulness. Maybe Stick-To-Itness. Whatever you want to call it, I fail at it. I allow those demon voices* to spur me on to starting new knits I know I shouldn't! Since I fail completely at this I am likely to end up doing penance for starti
I'm still here. Wherever here is!

Actually, it's in my own little home. Due to TMJ issues and headaches, I have been laying low. I have a visit with the ortho, but not until March! So, I just need to de-stress and manage the pain until then. Saturday night my jaw popped out of pl

Besides doing laundry and making dinner, I have been worthless today! Haven't done a thing. No knitting, no nothing. I am SO worthless! I did knit on the mitts last night and firmed up the pattern. But don't count on it being too correct. I a

I want to introduce you to my friend Nancy. I can't say how long we have been blog friends, but it seems like forever. I admire her for so many things, and now have another reason to admire her. Now, if you went and read that before contin

I need to nominate 10 bloggers for the You Make My Day award. I don't have right click mouse function, so can't figure out how to download the button! Anyone? Now to figure out if I want to go through the naming 10 blogger thing. I hate for a
I want to thank......

....my migraines and my blessings for this award. I couldn't have done it without them. Knitsabella has bestowed on me a wonderful award. It's the "You Make My Day" award. Wow, I didn't even know I was nominated, and thus have
Jinxed myself

You know how it goes. Just make mention of something you should do, and it's the last thing you want to do. I needed to work on those pop off mitts. I got so far as to pick up the discarded mitts, rip back to redo them and then do the thumb. And
It's Kat's fault!

No really, she made me do it. Going and showing off her quick knit Tudora*. She knows how weak I am! And then, when I emailed her to ask if she thought I could use the rest of my Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran, less than 90 yds left, she said yes! How
I didn't cast on......yet
Friday, 18 January 2008 2:17 P GMT-06
But I did finish something, so that gives me the right to cast on for something new, right? Nope, I will not do it. I will stay strong! I am sure you have heard that before. At least I did pull out the other mitt and reworked it a bit. I will be fait
If I cast on, it's not MY fault!
Thursday, 17 January 2008 9:34 P GMT-06
It will be Liz and Lisa's fault! They practically are forcing me! Forget the fact that the yarn is sitting out on the dining room table. And it won't be my fault if it just happens to get wound into balls. No really, I can't be blamed for

Or maybe comes in fits and spurts. 5th one is done. Remembered to bring it home from work*, yes I said work, today to take a photo of it. I ran back to the shop after a Dr appt, no surgery**. I was going to be there to knit anyway, so I told Pam I co
Maybe Ravelry will help me

What with Dana starting a Fearless Knitting group that I have chosen to help with UFOs, and with Maria starting a True Confessions: WIP Edition group, just maybe I will be motivated to finish these items! Of course, then last night I cast on for anot
What a morning!

Snow was spitting last night, and I mean spitting. If you were out in it you might have gotten a dusting after 2 hours. So, this morning I wake up and look out the window to see pavement. Fix the girls's breakfast and sit down in front of the TV

Drove across the twin bridges to visit with the knit buds yesterday. What fun we had! Ju-Ju was a lovely hostess and the spread was, as always, scrumptious! Much ohhing, and ahhing of knits in progress was done and knitting was accomplished. Although

And it is already cast on and past the cuff. So I am on my way to n FO within the next few days. Now watch, I have already jinxed that. I love them. And best of all, the recipient says she has a coat they will match perfectly! And they fit, even bett

An awesome birthday was had by all me. It started off at the shop with the knit buds. Yummy snacks were there. Gifts were received and I love them all! A darling sun catcher in the form of a sunflower, one of my fav flowers. A set of note cards with

3 years from the big 5-0 and I don't feel a day over 13! I guess I will need to grow up sometime in the near future. Some "on this day" trivia. 1493: Columbus had a problem. I wonder if alcohol was a factor? And how do we know this was

How long can a cold linger? As long as it wants I guess. I am so ready to be over this! I spent Monday either asleep or painfully swallowing. I was sure I was going to end up with strep throat. But by late afternoon I was feeling better. And good thi

Spent the day with family yesterday and found out that my niece's boyfriend and I share a birthday. We both were born on January 9th, along with some other famous people. At my Bro's open house last night I grabbed Spence and told him about t

Wait, haven't I been here before? How many times can I start the year? I guess until I get it right. So what has changed? Cold is still there, but it is waning. Mittens are still there, inly they don't look anything like that photo, and I am

..in a knitting day when you spend them doing word puzzles, eating, sleeping, and organizing. But at least my bathroom cabinet is nice and straightened and things are in their place. Wonder how long before it's all junked up again. The kitchen ju

Is just about how I feel. I have a head cold and that means blowing of the nose, coughing, sneezing and more. I am sure it's going into a sinus infection, oh joy! Just how I wanted to start the New Year. I tried to knit last night, but all

With a head cold. Maybe if I get it out of the way now I won't be sick for the rest of the year? A girl can hope. The cold is making it hard to continue the knitting. I have no energy to knit. Not that knitting takes much energy. It just takes co
Recap
Tuesday, 1 January 2008 6:38 P GMT-06
2007 was a slow down in knitting for me. I just lost the mojo along the way. I was knitting, just not finishing anything. Starting more and stopping to start other things. Here's the final tally for the year. Me sized sweaters: 0, zip, zilch
