To a friend who just found out she has Stage 3A Lung Cancer. Someone who exercises and eats right. Someone who hasn't smoked, and whose husband quit 26 years ago. Who is so sweet and kind, who really doesn't deserve this. Who just retired a f

Your Memorial Day celebration. But most of all, I hope you took time to be thankful for the men and women who have served and sacrificed to allow us to have our freedoms. Our day was quiet. Just some shopping and a very un-Memorial Day dinner. Pancak

At least it feels like I am. Just popping in to say I am what I never wanted to become. A sentimental old woman! Not that there is anything wrong with being old, well, older at least. Today as I was driving Elder to school, a song came on the radio.

I just can't do it

Too tired to post anything. too tired to get the camera out to photograph the new WIP. Yes, another new WIP. The Fair Isle wrap needs a longer needle, so it's being set aside. The Lady Eleanor is too large to take with me, so it stays home. The L

Niece #2, on his side, got married last night. It was a beautiful wedding with a beautiful bride and a handsome groom. The entire place was rocking at the reception, we danced until we couldn't dance anymore, and even a little light libation was

And this is the next ting to get settled. Baby Surprise Jacket is so close! I spent many minutes redoing the last few rows. Trying to conserve my navy to use it at the very last. I will crochet an edging with loops for the buttons in the navy I have

I guess you eventually finish all those items that you seemed to have knit on forever eventually. And this is eventually. Now granted, the clogs were a last minute thrown in item, but I'm still counting them as part of the process. Since they too

It's done. And not a moment too soon. Wedding is May 9th, blocked May 4th. At least I wasn't blocking it the night before leaving on a jet plane like I did in September. And no problems with this one, it was grabby wool yarn, not silk! I foun

It's not just a time waster. You actually get something for your effort. Oh, yeah, I knew that all along, but sometimes you seem to knit and knit and never get anywhere. Sometimes it's because what you already knit wasn't right and it had
