A few things caught my eye at 3 Bags Full Yesterday.  I was there to pick up baby hats knit by some ever charitable knitters in the area.  This hat is particularly adorable don't you think?  We appreciate all the hats made for our babies in the ISCU.  

 This skirt looked beautiful in the store and I loved the color.  I'll never make it but I can love to look at it right? 
 The wee folk that sit near the cash register
are charming.  I will never knit them either, but I love their simple faces and their warm scarves.  
So I was surrounded by knittastic things yesterday. 
As for today I awoke a bit frazzled.  I'm listening to Oliver Shanti: Well Balanced. 
It is massage music. (at least that's what I call it) 

I must tell myself: one goal at a time today. Breathe slowly.  
Live in the moment.

I've committed to two things I don't really want to do today.  Why do I do this?  
Something pulled at me to make these plans, so why now, do I want to stay at home?  

 If you are a prayin person as they say in VIRGINIA, say a little one for me okay?
Thanks

Prayers coming your way -

I often regret making commitments, and then grudgingly do them. I waste a lot of time fretting about them than it actually takes to do them.

I hope your day goes smoothly.

Prayers for you my friend. Sometimes though, the things I'm dreading turn out to be wonderful. I hope that's true for you!

Whatever you've committed to do, think about the activity in terms of living your joy, gratitude, and love. Everything else will fall into place. Have a great day.

I liked looking at all the pretty knitted pieces too.

My mother used to custom-knit skirts for a yarn shop in Nashville. They were gorgeous, but not very many people could wear them.

You got it!

Today was errand morning for me. Plumber @ 8 AM to install new garbage disposal, knit group @ 10 (where miss know it ALL was holding court today), left that early to get tire rotation and oil change.

Sitting in that nice empty QUIET room waiting for my car was heaven....well, except for the new tire smell, but nothing I could do about that.

Got lots of knitting done. But, wish I had the nerve to do that skirt. That is AWESOME!

Prayers for you, Kathy. I hope whatever it is, ends up being a real blessing to you.

That bunny hat is precious. I love to look at everything in our LYS, too... even the ones I have no intention of ever doing. They are just beautiful to see! blessings ~ tanna

I know that feeling, of the "Why did I commit ..."

I'm cheering for you Kathy! I hope it all goes well.

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I have been knitting, but not making things.  6. MY gardens are growing.  I have 3 main areas I

  These are the one square bunnies .  They are a free pattern on Rave1ry.  I'm bunny making to force spring to come.  I'm a1so taking it easy on my hands again.  The med we tried did keep my hands from shaking, but it was a med for a med. and that's crazy town.  I can contro1 a hook much better than need1es.  It wi11 have to suffice for now.  I'm enjoying your b1ogs and your Spring.  This time of year I so want to 1ive in a southern state.  But this Spring is a new one for me and I'm going to find a way to 1ove it.   IT may have just gotten to 50.   Degrees.  I have to run.  There's very ear1y yardwork to do.   The birds have 1eft a rotten mess of sunf1ower she11s under the feeders.  I hope it is not frozen!  Have you been switching things up in your neck of the woods?   I haven't forgotten you, b1og pa1s.  I 1ove seeing you on Instagram .

Do You Smile When You Knit???

I am pretty sure I smile when I knit.  I'm going to think about that today when I pick up the baby blanket in progress.  I am also pretty sure I cry when I knit; well, not really.  I have shed some tears over the years but they were way back.  I surely scowl when I drop a stitch.   A time lapse of knitters' faces would be interesting enough .... Tank, aka Helo, is starting to smile around here.  Just look into those aqua eyes......they make me smile all the time. He is half Siamese and all gorgeous.
