Need INK?

I have a new product line available thru my Richmont Direct biz!


If you need printer ink refills, see me first!



My daughter, son-in-law, and 2 granddaughters are coing down for the weekend Aug 5th! Yippee.
Now that Isabelle needs the playpen, I bought one of those little flip sofas for Ella. She will have her own place to sit and a little overnight bed. She has a Dora the Explorer one at home. Who thinks of these things? Why didn't they think of them when I was raising children????




Knitting is sporatic. I can't find my yarn winder and I have this beautiful lace pattern and yarn that I want to start.

Candle Flame Shawl pattern is free at KnitPicks! I have 2 hanks of Alpaca Cloud yarn in Iris for the project. It is so SOFT!

How do things get lost???? Especially in a small dwelling???

Middle of the year already!

Can you believe it? It is the middle of the year already! I don't know where the first half went! Ha!

It's going to be very hot here in WI today. we just aren't used to it so we will stick very close to home in our central air. Neither of our cars have A/C since we mostly use the heater up here! LOL

I am scanning thru yarns and knitting books trying to find that just right project. I have started twice a couple of scarves and the patterns just are not clear enough and I end up with less stitches than the pattern says.... so it has been unknit twice. It's hard to think of knitting winter things in this heat anyway!

Granddaughter Ella is nice and cool.

The Lord is working!

Oh how the Lord is working in my life! He is healing my inner being and giving me strength! Hallelujah! Last night in an open heaven experience He showed me a baby in a womb.



The baby was so warm and safe and protected. The baby was dancing and happy. It was surrounded by warm gold fluid. Then the Holy Spirit revealed to me that my mom loved me and ate correctly, didn't drink or smoke while she was pregnant with me! This was so healing to me because my mom was an alcoholic and died from smoking. I always felt she didn't care but she did! She taught me to be crafty, a good cook, how to take care of things, how to find a bargain. Where she lacked my Gramma taught me. Oh Thank You Lord for this revelation!

My hubby makes the paper!

I am so excited... the local paper did an article about my husband's piano tuning business... see here

Road Construction

They have been ripping up our road what seems like forever! They are putting in storm sewers and curb and gutter. Well the storm sewers are in but road is full of pot holes as it is all ground up. They started ripping the ends of driveways off..they stopped right across the street so ours is still intact... and the noise....ugh.
So our house hunt continues... I just hope they have a road back in when we have to move!
I looked at a very nice 1957 ranch home. The kitchen needs updating but the rest of the house is ready to go. It has a great floor plan but only 1 bathroom... not a problem until the kids come and spend the weekend....

Baby Isabelle will be 1 month old tomorrow! Where did that month go????

I am yearning to knit but can't decide on a project. Does anyone else ever get like that???

House Hunt continues

We thought we found the perfect place but alas it also has some cons. We can not take our established phone number with us to this community and my husbands business depends on the phone. We loast some customers when we made tha last move.
We are praying an know that God will provide.

House Hunting

We have started hunting for a house. There sure are a bunch of dumps in our price range! How can people think they can sell them without cleaning???? If you have a pet, at least sweep the floor and empty the litter box!! EWWWWW
I found a couple yesterday I liked, hubby went to look at one last night with me. The basement is a problem for him. Being 6 feet tall there sure are a lot of basements he can't walk thru!

I got out some yarn the other night, started looking thru my patterns and gave up.... I guess it is too nice outside to think of warm garments. Ha

Listen to me, I sound a little grouchy!!! I need a good cup of coffee! :-) Sorry about that.

I ordered this book from KnitPicks and just love it so far. I am laughing as I read. This seems to be a must have for us round knitters...

New Granddaughter

WooHoo I have a new grand daughter as of Wed May 24th! I just got back from spending the first 8 days of her life with my little family. Isabelle Iris weighed in at a mere 6# 2.5 oz. She looks like her daddy and is a very content baby.
Big sister Ella loves her and helps her mommy. I am so blessed.

I managed to get a hat knit for her..... oh I need to knit more!

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! <><
