Thinking of our house!!

The first house we lived in in Palestine. At this time of year, I miss it because the weather there would be warm. Miss sitting outside in the sun and drinking tea, and hearing the mosque.

Winter Already

Snuggling in for the winter. It snowed yesterday, so my cats are sleeping more and eating more.

Missing Palestine

I find myself missing Palestine, I am hoping to go back. We'll see what the future brings!

Felting a Bag

I just finished knitting the Constant Companion bag, and now it is to be felted.

It was a lot of fun to knit, and I love to felt things, so we'll see what happens.

I think I will probably make more of these in different sizes with embellishments.

Something New!!

I found this great yarn at the local yarn shop, and saw someone's finished lace shawl, and knew it was meant to be. Can't wait to get started.

The pattern I've chosen is Leda's Dream from Pink Lemon Twist, and the yarn is Malabrigo, the color is Applewood. It's considered to be for a beginner, so we'll see if I can do it.

Finished!

I finished this apron to list in my Etsy shop...let's see how long it takes to get that done!

It turned out really cute. Also finished a London Beanie for my son. He wears it too.

Will take a picture of that soon. Working on an afghan for the other son, almost done.

Pics to follow.

Socks!!

I am busy knitting various projects right now, but I recently acquired some new
knitting needles. My daughter bought them for me! They are HiyaHiya circular
needles. I am going to try them out on sock knitting. I usually use double points,
but these are so cute. Can't wait to try them. Pics to follow!!

Yarn Shop!

Yesterday we went on mission to find a yarn shop. And guess what?
We found it!!! They had everything that a knitter could want.
And...they have a knitting group, and they meet at Barnes and Noble.
We went to the group, and it was great. Everyone was so nice.
We will be making this a weekly event.

A Day of Crafting

Today I spent the day doing what I wanted to do,
and this is the result of part of it. I made a refrigerator
magnet! Can't have too many of those.

This is the yowler. He's cute I know, but don't let appearances fool you.
He is loud, and he wakes us up about 3 times a night.
I'm so tired!!!!

Everyone is Puking!!

Everyone in our house has the flu. It's the bad one where you throw up
all night. It's horrible and I was wishing I would die, but the worst is
over, and we are recovering.

Love This Picture

I love this picture. My daughter took this picture by a Cabella's store. They have a heated pond for waterfowl, and the geese gather there daily. She's a great photographer.

Karma

I believe everything we do in life gets returned to us.
That's my philosophy, and I see it all of the time.
Basically, if you do something crappy, it's coming back to you.
Like this morning, I wake up to cat poop on the floor, and know
that I probably deserved that because I threw a pillow at the yowling
offender the night before.
