Paying the bills…

I use this and love it!

I get free stuff with SwagBucks!

A new hobby…???

My afternoon started out much differently, than it ended. We had lunch and then started walking down to my friend Wendy’s house so our kids could play together. I had some ‘work’ knitting in tow and was looking forward to enjoying a pleasant afternoon of knitting, chatting and watching the kids play.

Then things took a turn..

I seem to have started a new hobby…

I have a sticker collection…

 

Not exactly the new hobby I wanted to pick up.. crochet maybe.. hairpin lace, perhaps.. but certainly not Emergency Room Visitor Badge Collecting!

It’s Jaxom this time.. we are home and he is sleeping.. and he will be ok..it will take a bit of time though..and a few doctor appts..

The rest of the story later.. in.. Paging Dr. Gupta Take Two.. for now..I need a nice cup of tea and some sleep!

Great Connections and a ‘Smidge’ of Knitting..

Azia and I went to Wine and Wool today. It was rather small, but I understand there was some difficulty when the main person organizing the event had to step down. We also got there late in the day so I am not sure if people had already left or not.

Made a great connection though! I met the owner of the new Yarnia shop! Melissa. She is super nice. She had a lot of great yarns there, and it sounds like the shop is going to be great!! A cafe, classrooms, and yarn of course! Looks like I will be working on switching the Stitch n’  Bitch group to a new location! She was very receptive to us meeting there..  (yes Ashley.. you are double doomed!!)

She also had two things at the festival that I have been dying to get, but really didn’t want to pay the shipping on to order online.. The Lucy Bag Pattern, (I need to do something with all the wool I have since I can’t really wear it!) and the The Knitter’s Handy Guide to Yarn Requirements. It is awsome!! I don’t know what I have done without it!!

I whipped this up last night on my knitting board..

 

I needed a serious break from work knitting!! And this sure fit the bill.

I need to weave in the ends, and maybe I will wear it to church tommorrow.

I also made yogurt.. Kansas will be beaming at that! Hopefully it will be good!

All in all A good day..I’m energized…how’s about you?

PS. The fall sale on my patterns will continue through the end of October! Remember all you have to do to get $1 off each pattern is to enter the code fallsale and it will give you the discount! Enjoy!

Sorry no knitting.. I am under the weather here.. being taken down by a cold.. so this is about all I can manage today!

Ahh the wonders of television!

I had missed pretty much all of what looked like a really . . . → Read More: Ahh the wonders of television!

Hug the ones you love..

My good friend Laurie is going through  a rough time right now. Her husband, Jim, had a brain bleed about two weeks ago and things were going well. He was improving. But things went back to square one yesterday, when he had another. He is now in a chemically induced coma, and is on life support.. any and all prayers are welcome.

Please leave me a comment and let  me know that you are praying for him and where you are from. I will pass it on to Laurie. She is keeping a journal of people who are praying for him to show him when he gets better.

Hug those you love today nice and tight, and send a hug to my friend if you please.
