The Mom Cave?

By -

For starters today, I'd like to thank a girl who is a light in our life right now. We didn't meet her until today, but she is showing Al a great kindness. There is something very powerful about being a light for each other in this life of ours. Usually the person who is the light, doesn't even realize it. I am always impressed with the power of one little flame when our electric goes out and we light that first match. It chases the darkness to the corners of the room, and that is what this young girl has done. I think I better knit her some socks....


Beatles is surrounded by my next yarn. I sort of snatched it from Grace when she had a sale....could these colors be any better for a grey Chicago knit up in February? I really shouldn't cast on another pair until I finish the Simply Ginny's but I have to give my hands a break. As slick as the new needles are, they are too stiff. I need my woodies......

and finally, I heard the term MOM Cave today. It is supposed to be the equivalent of the Man Cave for a woman. It is a silly idea, that a woman needs a whole room before she can relax......we all know all she needs is a pair of needles and some good yarn.

I WOULD LOVE YOU TO LEAVE A COMMENT>

What could be better for February than sunshine yellow? Can't wait to see your sunny socks!

I agree that we need more angels in the world. Even better, can't we all be angels for each other? We would just wander around smiling and knitting socks for each other.

I have a Mom cave! It's called the kitchen. Oh, and there's also the laundry room!

Love the sunny yarn. I am desperate for a Mom cave. It seems like everyone in my house has their own space but me. My husband has a workout room and an office. My son's their own rooms. I would love a craft area, with a comfy sofa and a TV all to myself!
Have a great day,
Meredith

Such a bright and festive yarn.

I have a Mom-cave, but I really would rather knit in the middle of everything. So, usually I'm in the family room.

My Mom-cave is Stephen's bedroom and I haven't refinished the walls or carpet yet. But, I will. Then maybe I'll spend more time in there. Right now it's mostly just storage for all my needlework stuff.

I think the firehouse gym is my cave. I realize the day crew uses it, but on Crew 5 nights, it's mine, all mine. No dogs. No one else holding the remote.

Much as I love my husband and walking with my dogs, there's something fabulous about just getting on the elliptical and running and running...

and our Mom cave is portable, we can take it with us and find serenity in any location. I am so grateful I fell in love with knitting!!!

ANd yes repay your angel with socks, we must always remember to show our gratitude, even though it is never expected it makes it easier to continue spreading the love.

 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 ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
