3 swatches knit

I have the first 3 swatches knit up and blocking for Level 1 of the Master Knitter program. They look good to me. I will take them to my knitting group and let them critique them. I am trying for perfection, which is not my nature!

On a non-knitting note....

I found a website online that sells all kinds of labels for your printing needs. Planet Label. If you make a lot of address labels, biz cards, greeting cards, or other crafts, take a look. I found some sheets of magnetic for business cards. What a neat idea to give your customers or business aquaintances.

They have inkjet, laser, thermal, magnetic, brown kraft, cardstock and so much more. Pre-printed, weatherproof, non-adhesive, foil, etc. Even a closeout page!

Got my Master Knitter stuff

I got my Master Knitter paperwork today and went to Iris Fine Yarns store to get my swatch yarn. I got 3 skeins latte' colored (#138)Galway. That should be enough for all the swatches.

I got my notebook all organized, too. I had a great find at a rummage sale one day.. a box full of office supplies for $1.00 and there must have been 300 sheet protectors in the bottom so can have all my paperwork in sheets.. :-)
I have a headache so I am not going to start knitting today. Want those swatches perfect.

Master Knitter course

Well, I took the plunge. I sent in my application and fees for the TKGA Master Knitter program! My dear sweet husband gave me this as a present for our 29th wedding anniversary. Isn't he a sweetie? There are quite a few in my Tuesday night knitting group that are also going to be doing the program so we have a built in support group. I have been knitting for 40 years and knowledge is always good.

Shaklee

I just joined Shaklee .
I loved their products in the 80's and kinda forgot about them until recently. I knew I needed to do something about my weight after injuring an ankle and a knee and found that Shaklee has a great program called Cinch. I am on day 4 and all is going very well. They have a great business opportunity if you are looking for something to do from home.
Oprah even featured Shaklee's Get Clean on Earth Day! I am happy to be with a proven company!

Happy Birthday Isabelle!

Wow Granddaughter Isabelle is 1 year old today! That has gone by way too quick. She sure keeps Mommy busy as she has been walking for a couple of months already. She likes to climb and get into things all the time.

Mother's Day gifts

I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day. My daughter and one granddaughter came down the week before and my son came on Mother's day. My daughter gave me money to spend on myself and a card witha message from her heart! This was a great gift as she lives far away and can't get me gift certs for around here.
My son gave me a real rose that is preserved in gold!
I will always have a rose now! It came with a vase also. It is very lovely.

My friends new worship CD

My friend has a new worship CD!  It is just beautiful. Listen and buy.

new job

I guess I forgot to mention I got a part time job, very part time....
I deliver flowers for my very local florist! I can actually walk to work! I deliver on Mon, Wed, Thurs. afternoons. It is a very nice job. I love driving, I love flowers and I love making people smile! How cool is that!

I work enough to get some yarn money, I guess... very big grin! :-D
