Mother's Day

I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's day weekend! My 23 yr.old son came down Sat. evening and gave me a beautiful gold Heart necklace with a garnet and small diamonds! He got it at Jared's! garnet is my birthstone. My husband took me to the best Italian restaurant for dinner and I got free dessert there. Yum Yum. I was a very nice weekend.

I finally got a baby hat knit for the baby that is due in 2 weeks... never got the booties done though. I also need to finish a quilt.... ugh it's hard to work and find time for fun stuff.

I joined a new ring... Christian Women online.

May Day

I can't believe it is May already! The leaves are popping open on the trees and lots of pollen. My baby turned 23 on May Day! Where did 23 years go?????

I am reading a great book by Tommy Tenney "God Chasers".

We now have SkyAngel satellite service and love the clean movies and worship programming. I sell SkyAngel is you are interested... hint hint...

I started walking with my friend Peg and it feels good. Hard to imagine that I was hardly able to walk over a year ago. praise God for His Healing Power!

He is Risen!

He is risen indeed!

Happy Easter.


I am trying a new Christian online community group.... OakTree.org. I just joined yesterday and like the feel of it. There are forums, chats, buddy list, and more. I am ThroneGazer, if you join... add me to your buddy list!

I have been trying to get motivated to knit for my new grandbaby due next month but struggle with being tired after work. Will I ever knit again????

I got new speakers for my computer this weekend. SoundSticks II. They sound so wonderful. I listen to all my music online or thru my computer so needed something better than tin can sound..

be Blessed today! <><

Another few and far between post

Oh I have to make a post it note to remind me to post here. hahaha

It is so unbelievable that we are out of debt after selling the house. We have not decided if we like renting and having someone else take care of things that need fixing or to buy a house. I look through the listings but so far nothing has popped out at me. I hear that is now in a buyers market so that is a good thing.

I actually bought a skein of yarn to knit a dishcloth to knit for our new apartment but have not started knitting. My sister's store is moving so I am working an awful lot as we are trying to sell everything so we don't have to pack it and move it. My fingers ache to knit.

We are finally getting winter here in Wisconsin. January was so mild and I loved it! I always thought of myself as a snow lover until I had a mild January! HA.

The house sold!

Hallelujah! The house is sold. We finally closed the deal on January 13th! I am so relieved. We are renting right now and may continue renting. It is kinda nice.

My daughter found out today that baby #2 is a GIRL!!!!!!! She had a regular ultrasound and a 4D.... amazing technology! She emailed us the pictures!

House closing

The house closing didn't happen.... 4 hours before it closed the buyer couldn't get his financing. What a disappointment.

I moved the last of my yarn here... yahoo.... and my fabric... I am thinking I need to downsize as the garage is so full at our rental. Yikes.

Checking In

Sorry I haven't posted in a long time..... Life has been busy, busy, busy. I am working everyday except for every other Sunday. Retail before Christmas is crazy!

We are also in the process of selling our home. We are moving the last of our stuff tomorrow and hopefully closing on it on Wed. We want it all done by the end of the year.

Knitting is almost non-existent which makes me very sad. I need some new mittens and hate to buy some knowing that I can knit a better pair. I have one done... and the cuff of the 2nd one done. Maybe once the house is sold I can relax a bit.

Christmas was very nice this year. I had it at our new apartment. My grandbaby Ella is almost 2 and was so cute opening presents. I got her a baby doll and she carried it around hugging it.... so precious.

Hopefully I will have some more time for posting more often also.

Merry Christmas and Have a Blessed New Year!

Knitting???

I am so tired after a day of work that I can't even knit. UGHHHHHH
I can do dishcloths as I have memorized the pattern but even those are sitting in basket waiting to be finished.

The job is going well but I have not worked in 3 years and my legs can hardly take the standing.

I just found out I am going to be a Gramma again!!!!! I am so happy for my daughter and son-in-law. Grandbaby # 2 will be arriving in the Spring.

I am still alive...

Although some nights my legs want to die!!!
We moved on Aug. 15th, or should I say, started to move. I then started a job at my sister's store, Cottage Chic home furnishings, on the 17th!!! I love my new digs and job but I am pooped!
I am so tired at night that I rarely knit. I knit dishcloths only because my eyes won't let me follow a pattern. o|o

I will try to post more often as to stay in the ring rules.... ;-)

Knitting slump?

Do you ever get where you don't know what to knit next? I have been knitting dishcloths and got all caught up with my orders and want to do something different and I just can't figure out what project to do..... Maybe it's the heat.

We finally got an air conditioner and today is cooler... go figure. The day my husband agreed that we needed one , I couldn't find one anywhere! Dear hubby kept looking and found one an hour away at a Best Buy. How in the world did I survive without it????

I got some really awesome knit notecards from Knit Chick. How fun. FiberRAOK is an awesome group.

Dish Cloths

Wow, I feel like a knitting machine! I have been getting orders for dishcloths! I have knit about 3 dozen in the past month. I don't make much profit but I can buy more yarn which makes me happy.

Today I feel like a wrung out dishcloth. The Lord is doing some weeding in my life and mind. He is confirming "words" and healing me. I am so thankful for my Tuesday night Bible study group. We minister one to another and have become so close.

My little GrandToddler will be 18 months old tomorrow! That has gone by so fast! She blows kisses that melt my heart!

Block of the month class

I joined a block of the month class at my LYS and am enjoying learning new techniques. I have 3 blocks finished so far and I am using coordinating colors of Encore wool.

I bought a new knitting book yesterday "Modular Knitting" Can't wait to start knitting up some of the blocks.

I also have been knitting many cotton dish cloths and selling them. Keeps me in yarn money!! ;-)
