Quit new job!

Well that job lasted 20 hours. I quit today. It had inadequate office furniture and space and it made my back & fibromyalgia worse. Oh well...back to the want ads.

Now I may have more time to post here and to knit also.

I start work tomorrow!!!

Hallelujah! I got the job at Radio Shack! It is about 3 min. from home and about 20 hours a week. Yahoo!!!!
I have been praying for 3 years for a job that would accomodate my health. BUT April has been a month of healing for me. My arthritic hip was healed at the end of March and Saturday my back pain was healed!!!!! Praise God for His overflowing love and healing.

still waiting

Had 2nd interview for job, felt very good about it.... maybe I will hear on Monday!

Took a knitting class today. We are doing a block a month to learn new patterns. Doing a button stitch square.

My LYS, The Troll's Cove, is thinking about having a knitting retreat this Fall. She would bring in a knitting author. I hope so.

The waiting game

Oh it is so hard to wait sometimes. I have applied for a job and had an interview. I won't do the knitting class/party thing if I get a job. Can't plan a weekend away either...

What a beautiful day here today. We had some nice sprinkles on Sat. and it greened up the grass nicely. My perennials are coming up. Crocus are all done.

I started on a sweater. Maybe by fall I will have it done! Ha

Met my daughter, son-in-law, and grand-daughter at a half-way town on Sat. and we went shopping and out to lunch. I bought Ella her first baby doll and she really loves it. Mommy says she hugs and kisses it all the time. She is almost 14 months old already!

Knitting Biz

I am considering a knitting type business where I teach and provide kits.

*Would buying kits interest you?
*Would you go to a knitting party?
*Would you like someone to come to your house to teach you?

Please post your thoughts.

Random Acts of Kindness?

I belong to this great group called FiberRAOK (Fiber Random Acts of Kindness). Thank you for all the kindness I have received!

Now the idea is great...but should they be random???

How about Deliberate Acts of Kindness? DAOK?
As a Christian I should be doing this at all times.

Finished socks

I finally finished my Sockatta socks. I knit them short ankle length for summer. They fit like isotoners!
I have given up on my pi shawl and a lacy vest as the warmer weather is here. Now I am itching to start a new project and can't decide.

I am thinking about starting another home biz but dread doing home parties again. I wish there was some sort of knitting class biz I could start and have home parties with that!
I am going to quit selling Watkins as the shipping is killing me. I no longer make any money. My customers will be sad but they can order online.

My son is flying out to Seattle with his friend on Sat morn to stay with a couple of their friends from High school. This will be his first time flying on a big plane! I will be praying the whole time that nothing happens with his flights.

It rained last night good and hard and almost all our snow is gone now. It is so brown and dismal looking and MUDDY!

PDA & Case


Here is my new PalmOne Zire 31 and the case I knit for it. I am loving it. I downloaded Knitable's free trial onto it...too cool.

Easter weekend was very nice. My daughter, her hubby and my grandToddler came down on Friday and my Dad came up on Saturday. I made ham, mashed potatoes, baked beans and rolls. Everything turned out great.
Ella & Great Grandpa...

Good Friday

What a Holy day today is when we remember what Jesus withstood as payment for our sin.

My daughter, SIL and dear Ella are arriving shortly! I have tried to babyproof but will have to keep a sharp eye on the Toddler of the Universe (TOD). I am making Easter dinner tomorrow and my dad is also coming over. He doesn't drive this way much and so I am excited.

I went to knitting group last night. We sure had some great laughs. I made good progress on the foot of sock 2.

My Easter Lily has 2 full blossoms open! It's beautiful! 2 years ago I transplanted one outside and it bloomed with about 7 blossoms last summer. It was a wonderful addition to my flower bed!

Happy Easter everyone.

Remember, Jesus didn't stay in the tomb!!!!
