The Honest Truth about Felting and Life

By -
My four felted Christmas stockings.  I'm on the fifth .  

 Truth: you can make a ton of mistakes and felting just erases them all

 Truth : I haven't measured a thing on these and 3 of them happen to be the same size now. 

 Truth:  I got in our local pool and swam for an hour yesterday. What a mind clearing peaceful afternoon.

 Truth: I then went out with Zach and Fireman and had 2 margaritas.  They were guava and delicious.  

 Truth: I was giggling and snort laughing on the way home. I was not driving of course.    

 Truth:  I was so angry with At and T that I hand wrote a letter to the Executive Director and the Board.   Within a week I had the Ex Directors assistant personally helping me.  

 Truth: I hate to complain

 Truth: I love to thank people.  Anita and I are getting to be fast friends.  AT&T  is working it all out.  I think a hand written letter gets more attention than an email now a days. 

 Truth : I met an angel yesterday.  She walked by my house yesterday.  A neighbor I'd never met before. (remember I've been here 33 years)  She liked my flowers and we started to talk. She is from the very town Zach is going to be teaching in .
She gave us her contact information.   She has brothers there. FAMILY there.  She told Zach not to be shy.  If he needs ANYTHING he's to contact her. 

 Truth:  I hugged her twice and invaded her personal space. 
She didn't seem to mind one bit. 

 Truth: A friend's breast biopsy came back negative for cancer. 

 Prayers of Thanksgiving , my favorite Kind!  That's the truth

Thank you for this post. If "truths" were listed daily, I think our blessings would outweigh our bummers.

And mahalo for the sweet comment and for sharing that fun tidbit. That sounds like Kimochi in SF who make things for the Silver Bells Craft Fair where the money goes to their senior home center.

I am glad your friend is okay! And I love when angels show up when you least expect it. I had uhaul problems this week and I kept calling, expressing my unhappiness then getting beggy about what could they possible due to FIX my problem. After many calls and lots of insistence I got what I wanted. Now if only they could have not STRESSED me out while I was helping my son move.

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...
