A Year Older and So Much Wiser


I want to take a minute and thank those of you who visit my blog, even when I don't keep up with my posts or my sewing activities. I know you pass through to see what others are up to or check out some of the resources.

Today, I'm celebrating my birthday and I must say that I'm feeling fine right now. I've got a few more white hairs and more spots on my skin. I'm happy and healthy. I'm enjoying life.

To help me celebrate my day, I would like for each of you to take 30 minutes to an hour sometime today (and/or the remainder of the week) and enjoy one of your favorite hobbies. Make time for yourself. Create something for yourself. Let me know what you are going to do to help me celebrate.

Isn't this better than chocolates? And no calories, too! lol!

So, what am I going to be doing for a few hours today? Knitting at my LYS.

Another Knitted Creation


You would think that during the summer months, when it's hot and humid, that I would have stopped knitting and started sewing again. It hasn't happened that way. I now have a fascination for cotton and cotton-blended yarns. I have knitted two additional garments called Ophelia. They are comfortable to wear. I plan on wearing these through July and into August. Even into September.

Ophelia in Mediterranean



Ophelia in Cactus


Still no sewing. Well, at least I have some knitting to show. :)
