I have only finished one knitting
project, and that is the Snow on Ice hat.
Big Bear wanted to model it for us so I let him. He doesn't get to do much because if he comes
out of his hidey-hole two dogs would jump on him, mistaking him for a dog toy. Big Bear can visit Comfort Zone only under
controlled conditions.
He will have another hat to model in
a few days as I am well underway in the knitting of Kathyb's The Two Kaths
Hat. I'm doing mine in turquoise and
cream Debbie Bliss Cashmerino. Starting
the Fair Isle section today.
With working, family, knitting,
gardening, and being old enough to want to rest in the evenings after work,
nothing much gets done. I mean to say
nothing much like writing posts and blogging, and some weeks the nothing much
includes knitting. It has been one of
those weeks!
Although I always carry at least
three methods of internet communication with me in the form of iPad, Kindle Fire,
and iPhone, I never seem to have time to write blog posts on the run. I do knit between clients/projects in the
office, but I try not to load Word or log-in to Blogger and write a post
because everyone would be doing it. Come
to think of it, then we could close the business and I would have plenty of
time to do whatever I want. I may be on
to something!!
More stress comes from the fact that GD#3
is again having health issues. Good thoughts
and prayers are needed. My beautiful
granddaughter is so brave and strong, and I admire her determination to beat
this thing. She carries her pain and affliction like a sword into battle. She
will win!! But, good thoughts and
prayers always help.
My Mom always said that she could
tell when I'd had a hard week because I would climb in a hole and sigh deeply
all weekend. What do you do when
stresses are overwhelming and one more thing would be too much to handle? What do you do to heal? Please share.

beautiful hats..
praying for your gdaughter...
hugs,
lots of prayers for your granddaughter
you know how overwhelmed I am---usually I sleep but my back hurts so bad sleep is not easy to come by so lately I just peruse the internet and knit---I prefer silence whne I am tense Tom likes noise, so that just adds to my tension Its such a catch 22!
The hat is adorable! Dino is coming along well, he will be done sometime tomorrow!!!
Lulu and Grace, thanks so much for the prayers! I know they work!
Big Bear is the perfect model for the hat. I love the icy sparkles!
When I need to decompress, I try to find a good book and read until I fall asleep. Sometimes, the body just needs calm surroundings and rest to cope.
A positive attitude and stubborn determination are a good combination. May your GD find healing through both and peace from the prayers of others. Prayers coming your way.
Beautiful hats! Prayers and crossed paws for your granddaughter.
Stress... depends. Sometimes a hard, long walk does the trick, but others, I need to decompress and I just vegetate. Either way, having a fur-girl or two at my side always helps!!
I watch comedies that I have loved before....like groundhog day, or bridesmaids or a feel good movie.
Praying for your family k.......the young are resilient!
