I am soooooo…

…ready for spring! We had a gorgeous weekend here but the last two days the temps have fallen back below zero. I guess I’m getting old. I love winter, but weeks of weather this cold is a pain. Well, enough whining. It is time for me to respond to the comments left here yesterday. First [...]

Finish #3 for 2008 and…

…a post with some photos. Wow….go me. Right now I seem to be in a knitting mode. It’s easy to see, I can do it when I have a non-migraine type of headache and there’s a LOT more in the way of immediate gratification. It’s not that I’m sour on needlework, it’s more…a mood. Given [...]

February Needlework Aspirations:

–Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them and follow where they lead. –Louisa May Alcott I like the word aspirations…you know, kind of like a kinder, gentler version of goals. (I’m into that ‘kinder-gentler’ stuff!) [...]

Oops…another late post.

Saturday, January 19th 2008 was my one-year ‘blogiversary’.  I can’t say I posted as faithfully as I wanted to or, for that matter, achieved all my stitching goals.

Some of you know my sad story: I sit down in my comfy chair and turn on my light. Soft music is playing, my fabric and fibers are at my side, I have several hours [...]

A personal post…

–I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere to go. My own wisdom, and that of all about me, seemed insufficient for the day. –Abraham Lincoln (Before you start to read, be aware that, as titled, this post is largely personal and perhaps even the tiniest [...]

Another non-stitching post…

I just thought I’d share a few photos of my house this holiday season. It looks like Christmas and now it smells like Christmas. Last night I had some of the family over and we made Krumkake and Rosettes…it still smells good in here. and finally our Indian (subcontinent) Nativity set: I hope everyone had [...]

Just some reasons I’m grateful…

For the first time in several years I had the energy…and the desire to decorate my house for Christmas! I love the tree, the candles…everything. I haven’t been in the hospital for going on six months. DH, his love, support and sense of humor! We have a roof over our head, gainful employment and wonderful [...]
