So my balance for this day (this week, this year – this life?) is trying to figure out how to let go of the myriad hurts I suffer (self inflicted or not) and forgive the source of them, even if that source is me.
Knit & Crochet Blog Week – Something A Bit Different
Suffice to say, I didn’t get a call back…
Knit & Crochet Blog Week – A Knitter or Crocheter For All Seasons?
Find the joy and love in everything you make, try not to get too caught up in deadlines, and let passion guide you to projects that move you.
Knit & Crochet Blog Week – Photography Challenge Day!
The result is a lot of bang for the buck, and a chance for knitters to expand their horizons in a non-threatening way.
Family Album
I’ve been dealing with a perfect convergence of deadlines over the past weeks, but one that loomed large was my $50 Groupon for Mixbook. FINALLY I got the kids baby pictures together, scanned them, and put a small album together to send to Grandma for her birthday next week. And, of course, we’ll keep one…
Best Friends
I joked recently that it’s dangerous to be loved by me, because that seems to equal a diagnosis of cancer. Okay, so it’s not funny, but it sure feels true some days.
My Morning Ritual
If I have oatmeal and a cup of tea, my whole DAY is good. The days I miss my oatmeal are never as good as they could be.
Sleeping in San Jose
I’ve reached the point in my Fibromyalgia journey when I realize that saving up my energy is the best plan on teaching trips. Students have paid good money to get as much of my strong, clear attention as possible, they deserve it. When I deviate from my energy saving plan and socialize, I’m not able to give 100% of my limited energy, and that I’ve failed in some way.
Sleeping in Orlando, And Other Past Times
I have seldom taught such a fun, hardworking, wonderfully challenging and great group as the Knit Or Knot Guild in Orlando!
A New Project, A New Sidepath
I’m making Millinery. Hats. Caps. Dome-pieces. Do-rags. Lids.
And I’m selling them on Etsy!
