TIny Miracles

By -


This baby sweater with a zip up the back reminds me of one I had for Al and Zach.  I took photos of it at my LYS.
I don't think I'll be making one anytime soon, but miracles do happen!

Last night, My mother knew me! 
Her dementia is pronounced, but she said to me
I. Know. You. Kathleen! 
Small marvelous miracle. 


I am rounding the corner and heading for home with my shrug. 
This usually means I'll make a big mistake in my haste to FINISH.
Let's hope not. So far I've loved the whole thing: pattern, needles, yarn and process. 

Can you believe that machine got to Pluto today?
There's a miracle !

Oh and a teeny tiny perhaps baby hummingbird came to our flowers last night. 
They are sporadic here this summer at best. 
He went to the "Deadist" bucket of flowers we have
as Fireman said. 

Oh and friend and blog reader Lynn who adopted two of my foster kittens  a few years ago, just adopted a new torti girl. 
She's a tiny one and she's darling. 
Kady Is her name now. 


Tiny miracles...we'll take them here at Irisheyes.
How about you? 
Any tiny miracles you want to share?

I've been praying for your mom :) Glad she remembered you, what a sweet joyful gift!! I am relying on the miracle of pen and paper, I am writing everything down I need to do for this wedding and love that writing keeps it all neat and under control :)

No miracles to speak of here, but I love that your Mom knew you today! I'm sure that did your heart (and hers) good!

New grandson had his first checkup today and is doing fine after some scary respiratory issues at birth. He's even gained some weight. All that might not qualify as a real miracle but it sure feels like one.

Great granddaughter Paige Noelle (our Carrie's second granddaughter) is a new member of our family. She was born on June 25 and weighed 9 lbs. 1 oz. I am seriously in love with that sweater and think that Paige needs one!

I love that your Mom greeted you with awareness today! The baby sweater is darling, but zippers on sweaters involve steeking and I believe I'm allergic to that!

Cute sweater! I'm not certain that one was steeked. Long ago I made a similar one,and it wasn't steeked either. (However, I do agree that steeking is scary!) Would love to see a photo of the tiny torti to compare it with Ginger as she was about 6 mos. when we adopted her, and now she's anything but tiny. The miracle here is that it cooled off! Still no rain though, and that would be a much needed miracle.

Store the precious moment of your Mother's recognition deep in your heart and visit it often.

My BIL is making an amazing recovery from Guilain Barre - prayer, rehabilitation, patience, and excellent medical care have helped him turn the corner.

Oh those darn white boys. They have the most trouble with surfactant and lung issues. Tiny hispanic girls fly through all the lung issues and go home early! Glad he's all better now.

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 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...
