HAPPY BIRTHDAY D!

Rally

I know by now you've all seen or at the very least heard about the devastation in Haiti. I amazes me that we can go from complaining about our economy to rallying in order to help. Amazing, how people who have so little still find they can give a little.
My handmade life has put out a call for help and I've just donated, will you? It's a great cause and you might even win some yarn!
Check out her site then go to Doctors without borders and make a donation of your very own.

Just checkn them off!

I think 2010 is going to be a year of learning and firsts!
I'm expanding my knitting capabilities:


Hats; check!
Jane- with mock cables I thought, sure!



Autumn- how about a new stitch, seed stitch.



Star Crossed slouch- How about REAL cables!!



Then because I haven't made any yet...

Fingerless Mitts: Check!
75 yds- magic looped and very easy!



Next up, a sweater!

Start again

Happy New year! I hope everyone had a great Holiday Season? I did, I like when things go quiet. I think that is why I love winter time so much, things just slow down and if I'm being honest, I can hide easier.
I don't know why I do it, I really don't. I was making progress, going out to knit meets, hanging out with friends, I even joined a co-ed softball team! and then I stopped.
So since this is the season of starting over, I really want to.

loremor in 2010

In 2010 I'd like to:
1. Be less shy- Go to knit meets/fibery gatherings
2. Smile more often
3. Knit a sweater/cardigan
4. Be active- I almost cried when my boys bought the Wii Fit so I could do it too.
5. Like myself- others seem to, why not me?
6. Do not add to my yarn stash/knit-cro with what I have.*







* we're on a budget in 2010 and new purchases might be a little hard to swing but I'm sure there will be exceptions.

Monthly News

I've been away for a month!? I'd like to thank all the well-wishers, my sons surgery went well and rehabilitation is going smoothly. He's back to school and trying to catch up on all that he missed. He is still not able to play football but he's started to practice baseball again.
Now if I could only get him to keep a shirt on! Someone should have warned me...if you have a scar that looks like this
You never want to wear a shirt so others can enjoy it too! GROSS!

Sticks and Stones

and broken bones...

He really did a number on himself. His surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning (9/15/09) and I'm a wreck! The doctor will be cutting a hole in my son!? A 6 inch hole! moving around muscles and such to make room for the broken collar bone! He'll be re-arranging it as it was before the break and adding one of these...
a metal plate! You see all of those holes? That's where the screws will go! 8 screws! into my baby boy! Please pray that I survive this! Please pray for his speedy recovery, Please pray?!
