I'm going to Paris in the morning!


And by morning I mean 2am! We catch the USO bus at 2am! I didn't know that was a real time. But I'm going......
We get back Sunday morning around 2am.
Hope I can sleep on the bus.
I'm taking Tom's little sony camera, cause I don't want to carry my big one all day. I'll take photos (you know I will), but you won't see them until I get some sleep on Sunday (after I drive home of course).

I know... I know

I know I’ve been delinquent in my “blogging” and I don’t have an excuse. I’ve been working and knitting and sleeping. The days just seem to go by before I know it. When I’m not at work, I’m knitting or on the internet. You got to love Yahoo IM and the video. Missy and kids get on almost daily. She calls me about 5pm here so it’s morning in Florida. I get to watch the kids and Jack and Aurora will talk and show me what they’ve been doing. The oldest “D” doesn’t talk much; guess being almost 13 means you don’t have to talk with your grandparents. She’s so sweet and such a beautiful smile, just going through that “teen” stuff.
So since I haven’t’ been taking photos, I show you some of Missy’s.












Oh, and I'm going to Paris next Saturday. I promise I'll take photos.

I'm sorry


I know it's been over a week since my last post, but I have been busy knitting. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

I finished the socks on circular needes and I must say that these are the 1st socks I knittied that I really like. I'm going to keep these. The yarn worked really well with the patern.

And when you last saw the box of yarn, I told (or is it warn?) you that I was going to knit and felt some bags for Christmas. I've completed three. Not sure who will end up receiving them, but the bags look and felted great.




















And... I've been sharing my knitting knowledge at work. My supervisor, "T" used to knit years ago. She never learned to purl, just knit. I'm giving her a refreasher course. She's knitting a hat for your grandson.
















I'll try to blog more often, but I'm not sure anyone even cares.

Yes, I have been knitting!

Here’s the photo to prove it. I’m knitting socks two at a time on circular needles. I’ve never been keen on knitting socks, but I wanted to use some of the yarn I purchased when we went to Friedberg a few weeks ago. I love the yarn!


Speaking of yarn, I finely got the box from Joann.com. It was ordered the end of April. It took over a month to get here. I had just about given it up. It was worth the wait. This is yarn I’m going to use for felted purses as Christmas gifts.





OK, I’ll confess, I still haven’t set up my knitting room. No excuses, just lazy. Someday…..
