Happiness is having a family member
who is a talented interior decorator.
While visiting for the wedding I fell in love with her wall clock, which
uses old family photos as the numbers.
When they came to Texas to visit a few weeks ago, she was equipped with
the clock parts and frames to “build” me a clock. It required moving and re-hanging the photos
that were already spread the length of the wall. She tackled the job with her usual flair and
in one afternoon not only finished a dazzling clock but a display of the photos
that is much more pleasing than it ever was when I just slapped them up without
any thought. I give you, ta-da, The
Wall….
The knitting is moving along. I can hardly believe that the blanket is
almost done. Our son and daughter-in-law
are coming from Chicago to visit next week and since the blanket is for her
sister’s November baby I would like to give it to her to take home with her.
I hope! I hope!
I am also reaching the sleeve section
of my red Christmas sweater, then round and round for the body section. I’m not saying which Christmas this sweater
will be worn!
Armed with an exceptional resume,
letters of recommendation and a 4.0 GPA, my little granddaughter Samantha has
become a full-fledged DPhiE (Delta Phi Epsilon). She sent me a picture of a gift she had received
from her Big Sister. My heart did a
flip/flop because she is so grown up and beautiful it took my breath
away. She is going to be an amazing
nurse like her mom. I miss her stops at
the house and our cookie baking sessions.
Life has dealt me another change and I don’t deal well with
changes. I think I will go and cry into
a dog’s fur for a bit. That always
helps!
I’ve ordered Capretta from Knit Picks
for the Hitofude Cardigan. I plan to
start it as soon as the blanket is finished.
It is a fingering weight combo of merino and cashmere. A little
cashmere is always good for the soul. I
will probably pet it a lot before I start the knitting. The color is called Timber but it looks more
like a mink to me.
The Texas weather is good – 70° to 80° and down to 50° at night.
The pups are healthy and happy.
Work is quiet from November 1st to January 1st. Yippee!!
