Starting over........

Can you believe over two years have past since I started this blog?  I meant to keep up with it, but life got in the way.  Sound familiar.
I am back and plan to stay.  In the last two years, I have been knitting, knitting, knitting.  Hats, scarves, fingerless gloves, slipper socks, dishclothes galore, dog coats, etc.
I plan to share with you stories, patterns, pictures and more.  If you want me to make you something special; let me know.
And....drum roll.....I am going to be a grandmother to a baby girl.  So, let the baby knitting begin.
But this post shows Christmas.  What is with that?  Well, I don't have any baby things, so I had to start somewhere!!!!!  These stockings are from a discontinued stocking book Christmas Stockings by Interweave Press.  The little stockings were presents for my Farkle group and contained 6 dice and the cheat sheets for scoring.  Cute, yay?  Oh, I have come up with a way to play Farkle with at least 12 people.  Will share!!!
If you can't find the book, I will find out if I can share the patterns.  Really easy!  Honest.
Checking out for now.  Laundry calls....not knitting right now.  Must curb my enthusiasm.  Oh my....

Now that I am grown up.....

what am I going to do?!?!?! Craft...what else. I just retired from 32 years of teaching special education on the high school level. You do not scare me!!!!! I am tough thanks to all the wonderful students I have had all those many decades (DECADES......how did it get to be so long!?!?!?!)

Join me on my journey of crafting my way to happiness and service. I plan to share with you the crafts I do, my mistakes, successes, patterns and so much more.

Let me know what you are doing, so we can all share our wonderful talents and ideas.

Today, I am knitting a Market Bag from a great pattern on the Lily's Sugar and Cream sight. The ones I have done are so pretty and USEFUL. They expand and carry alot. I even added knitted flowers to them.

Try this one out and let me know what you think.

I am also painting and will be sharing my projects with you.

Thought for the day - Everyone is creative. Just ask my friends who allowed me to share my lessons with them. Craft on!!!!!
