Blanket Stories: Receiving

I can't wait to go see this.

More about the exhibit.

There is a wee baby moon lyin' on its back with its funny little toes in the air. And its all alone in that big blue sky but the wee baby moon doesn't care. Baby moon keep shining on me.

Icicles are still clinging to the cars. The parking lots are an ice rink full of giant bumping cars. I'm Still standing has a great icicle picture for those who need some solid visualization. My little blog has been pictureless for a while I will have to remedy that next week and do a little updating. That is if I ever thaw out.

I have been knitting. My very own kool aid dyed yarn, its quite fabulous if I do say so my self. It is in these colors pink, mauve, Burgundy, lime, grove, and sage. I like it and am impressed that I got these colors with kool aid. SO we shall see if the pictures will arrive tomorrow. Have a good Sunday.

With a wish I set it free

Whimsey has entered my life. Enjoyment of the simple things make the harder things not so hard.

Take time to breathe and knit a little, my goals for the next three days.

Braking the cycle

I don't wake up every morning ready for the daily adventure. I start with a lazy smile and the ritual hitting of the snooze button. I like to wake up in a manner more fitting to that of a slower life style, relaxing in the arms of early morning slumber.

I like to stretch my days long into the night. Finding little pieces of my day to mull over, laughing at the obscure, and wondering about the future. It pleases me to make a night of sleep worth taking. My beds is a cloud worth falling into, from feather topper to puffy down comforter. It’s a wonder that I ever leave dreamland. Alas at morning's smile I find last nights book under the pillow and the phone hidden safely under the covers. With a roll and a stretch I gather my things and get ready for an adventure and endless discoveries.

Binge

I am on a orange binge.

That first tangy taste of orange on my tongue keeps me going back for more. I am craving oranges. I have avoided oranges my whole life because they give me hives, but now I am finding myself reaching for the OJ and looking over the tangerines, blood oranges, and even the grape fruit. I am only great full it is Oranges and not chocolate.

I might have to buy yarn tomorrow..Where from and for what? Well I think it should be Elann.com. I am looking at both Highland wool in a blue tone or the cashmere wool. To stash for a perfect project!

Decisions decisions.

SO many people start school tomorrow. Like Sara from Downward facing life, and Steph from Knit Steph, we have a class room filling up of students who knit.

On that key I am going to go eat an Orange and go do some studying of Math.

Grab your cup o tea

And pat yourself on the back.....

Knitters without borders over at Harlot's web blog ...have you seen how much money has been earned? Over 35, 000 dollars for MSF.

I am so amazed at the generosity and open heartedness of all the knitters. Go read what Harlot has to say because she says it so well.

Adagio Tea

I got my Tea. I got a couple different kinds caramel, Rum, and chamomile to name a couple. I very Much enjoy the Chamomile it is very tasty as is the Caramel. I want to try a display tea like Red bloomor Jasmine.

Plus I love the little tins they come in.

I know today the background is white I am trying to make a gradient background so bare with me.

Knitting is fun. One baby hat done one to go.

Then socks.....

what I ain't

I ain't no design genius so this will be a work in progress over the next week.

Any great peachy colored backgrounds that arn't so blary would be good.

I might snap

antiquity- ancient times;Especially the times preceding the middle ages. The people, especially the writers and artisans of ancient times.

acquisition- gaining

Erudite- rough, untaught, rude & having or showing profound knowledge

Ephemeral- lasting for a very brief time

The new philosophy calls all in doubt

The element of fire is quite put out;

The sun is lost and the earth, and no man's wit

Can well direct him where to look for it.

And freely men confess that this world's spent,

When in the planets and the firmament

They seek so many new; they see that this

Is crumbled out again to his atomies....

John Done (1572-1631)

Atomies - a tiny particle; a mote

I can't wait to get my nose out of this book tonight and go home and pick up the needles. But wait I forgot that I snapped the needle I was working with last night. Snapped as in broken. I love my 5's and now they are in broken knitting needle heaven. Or will be shortly when I go home and extract my poor pitiful 5 from the project it was in the midst of making.

It was not my night last night. I have been working on some little flowers from the Vogue knitting flower scarf. One or two a night before I go to bed seems to be good. Last night I made one and then the yarn snapped and the flower fell apart. Then the above mentioned death of the five. I don't know if I want to go home and proceed. Maybe tonight should be a little bit of organization and deep heart felt search for another 5.

Tomorrow my blog is going to get a face lift. Peachy background and new pic.

Good night world.

Hello

I am now back at work and back at school. It makes for a long day But I best get used to it because I have 10 more long weeks ahead.

My last post was riddled with errors. Excuse them please.

This holiday break has been a wee bits of fun. I had a lovely time with my families and wished I could have spent them with everyone all together and not fly back and forth. But I got to see everyone and there was lots of eating. But not very much knitting. I made two hallowig hats for my coworkers daughters and finished my scarf swap scarf.

Other then that nothing got done and now I have to do homework before knitting... Math homework and really I should clean my house while I am at it.

the things we do in my case the things I put off. MUST STAY FOCUSED.

Happy new year to all.
