I need to blog more often!

I had a wonderful picture to share with you and I accidentally deleted it. I am heart sick. It was quite funny. Oh well on to other matters. It has been a while since I blogged. I just cant seem to make it a priority. I have a picture of my newest knitted dishcloths.The red, white & blue one has a tulip design in it (photos dont do justice) and the yellow one has a baking theme on it. These came from KAL in a group I am in. If you are interested in the group/patterns let me know. I just love dishcloths.I could make a hundred of them and may end up that way.
I am making strides in getting my house organized and things given away to freecyclers. I like that the things get new homes. It makes me feel more green.Look up the organization in your area it is a great way to pass along old items that may be treasures to others.
OK I am whipped from a long day of cleaning house. I am off to crochet and cook supper. Peace and many blessings to you all.

Girl's Day Out---Sex & The City

OK saw it!!! LOVED it!!! Laughed, cried, laughed some more. I sat in horror and disbelief and sighed with joy. I hated to see it end. Good news is I saw it with 8 other women I knew or met for the first time through friends....and had a fabo time!
OK so a lot is going on. My new fridge is being delivered tomorrow and I am so excited I cannot think straight!!! Very very happy day. Shhhhhhhh but my socks are coming along and the deadline is so close now I am skeered to think about it. Why do I always do this? Last minute stuff makes me crazy. I frogged 16 rows of heel flap and cursed the stooooooopid mistake I made...LOL it is all good now!!!
I was just approved for an online exchange so I will be getting busy with those designs very soon too. It is a dishcloth exchange with a food theme. I am up for a challenge & except all ideas you find. I am thinking of designing one of my own! How crazy is that?
If I can figure out how to get the pictures to my computer, (camera & I are having problems), I have pretty new things to show off.
OK enough for now, I need sleep so time will fly by to my fridge delivery time...LOL
Be well and peace is possible if we all believe!

My Oh My What a Wonderful Day!

It is a beautiful day in Fort Worth. I could not be happier. My sister is in town and that is a PLUS!!! I cannot wait to spend a lot of fun time with her!

My HORRORscope for the day said (and I quote)
Issues of trust may be dramatized now, especially if you believe that someone is withholding some information from you. There are those who have complete faith in you and are willing to share their deepest secrets. But others may say unpleasant things behind your back and there's not much you can do about it. Consider the source of what you learn and just spend time with those who you can trust.

Isn't it great that our lives are blessed by so many personalities? My goodness how boring if everyone were like us! Love those who treat you with respect and equality and keep your eyes out for those who don't.
I am still knitting my secret project and I finished my squares for my exchange partner. I am trying to work on a sweater for my dog, but think I should use a pattern and not try to develop one just for her. My idea is good just not fine tuned....it is always a learning process this thing we call life.
I will be lining purses very soon so the sewing machine will be out and smoking. Laugh if you must, but I am determined to get past this waiting game my purses seem to get caught in. Cross your fingers and hope you too can finish unfinished projects. You KNOW you have some!!! *wink*
OK off to the races where dishes are clean and laundry is folded....now we put them away..LOL!
Be well & may Peace be with you always!

Long time no see. I have been busy with real life and sometimes that takes priority. No problem though...I like a bit of reality in this crazy fend for yourself world. The picture to the left is a hedge near my home. I feel like this bush many times and just laughed so hard I had to share.
What had been going on? I have been knitting, crochet, cleaning house & emptying boxes and sorting my art supplies. I am trying to get down to the bare bones on some of my craft stuff. So hard. There are so many things I enjoy.
I have been also playing a lot of hours in Pack Rat. We finally got a lawnmower that will work and I lost 3 to 5 trees in the ordeal. I should have marked them better when Ed planted.
Speaking of plants, one of my Valentine roses bloomed in time for Mother's day. It is a pink beauty and smells like a wonderful old rose (not the phony ones today with no scent). I also had great luck with my Moon Flower.
I included pix pf those too. I will be getting back to my picture taking as I have missed it so much.
Nothing else exciting going on here & I like it that way. Happy Mother's day to all Moms and I hope it was a great one!!!
Be well & Peace to you all

Saturday shines

The first weekend after the spring storms. We had golf ball size hail and a lot of lost tree limbs/leaves. My tomatoes held up great and so did the car. As we finished getting it covered, the storm hit with little or no time to spare. All is well and this weekend looks like a yard festival for this household.
WIPS: Brandy's bolero, afghan for Melissa, secret knitting, second sock for my Dad, second sock for me, always sections for WUA, 2 purses, and gawd only knows what else. I could do just this all of my remaining life and not get done.
I am really trying to get organized and get rid of stuff too. I separated another box into freecycle, trash and keep today. *patting self on back*
If I could get all the trash out, I would be so much better for it. That is my goal....trash trash trash!
Why do I keep all of these papers???? Shred!!!
OK back to work.
PS my hand is doing very good here. It is healing nicely and I massage it often to reduce the scar tissue.
Blessings to you all and give peace a chance.

Storm damage in daylight

Wow!! I slept through this nasty storm. Seems the storm hit around 330 to 430 am and slam dunked us in our sleep. Ed said the storm woke him up but I snoozed right on through it. That corner of the house is our bedroom. The light red circles are were branches were snapped like toothpicks. What a mess!!!
Tonight is Wine, Women & Wool night and I can't wait to see the ladies. My hand surgery went well and now the healing begins. The stitches are out but the wound is not completely closed. I have done this route before but with a larger wound. It takes time, but it heals nicely.
Time to run but I hope those of you cleaning up from this round of storms has minimal damage to deal with and thank God there were no deaths!
Be well & give peace a chance!
