BUSY, BUSY, BUSY.....

Had a super tremendously busy weekend - I almost feel like I've not HAD a weekend. BUT - vacation is coming up soon, so I think I will make it. Sam told me Friday that I "kicked butt" on my accounts - that made all the BS from Tharon the past few months not even matter. If Sam says its good, I personally don't care what Tharon thinks about it. Okay - this has to be short & sweet. I hear my bed calling......

Peace.

A TRULY GOOD DAY

This had to be one of the best days I've had in recent years. I slept in and missed my OA meeting, however I dreamed of being in a meeting at least 3 times!! That counts, right?? LOL Not really - but the food was good today. I'm well rested. Got to spend some quality time with Hannah & Corbin, which was good. Did a lot of crocheting and went to visit Dawn, too. Had a great, heartfelt conversation with my roommate/friend Tala.......I think that, perhaps, was the best of all. For the first time in a really long time, we talked of the weeks leading up to her mom's death and how that affected both of us, especially after. We say in Program that where you are in life is just where you're supposed to be, and I believe it. There was a time when I couldn't stand the sight of Tala, and going home was not an option. I stayed away as long as possible, just coming home to sleep, basically. It's not like that anymore and I'm glad. We get along, and I feel that we ARE truly friends now. That makes me happy. She also made mention of the fact that she wants to get the house done soon so I can invite my other friends over so we can all get to know each other.

Becoming close friends with Dawnelle has enriched my life also - we had a coupla glasses of wine, smoked a few cigarettes and talked. About everything. She has become one of my closest friends, too. I feel blessed to have as many close friends as I do - they care about me, wonder about me and laugh with me. They worry when they don't here from me, and I do the same. I have the kids, too - always in my heart. And, of course, I have my Program and my needlework. Thank you, Lord, for blessing me with so much!! <3 <3 <3

ON KNITTING & MITERED SQUARES.....

EINSTEIN COAT. Yup - I wanna make it, only I wanna make a vest. Having pored over the pattern for a full day, I'm thinking of doing the Einstein Coat (pattern by Sally Melville)as a vest, and quite possibly doing the upper body as mitered squares. Why mess up a great pattern, you may ask?? Because.....I LOVE KNITTING MITERED SQUARES!! And I think the Einstein Coat would look great with mitered squares at the top. In Noro Silk Garden Lite.

In fact - I think I will go swatch. See ya!!

Peace!

I AM BACK!!

YES!! I am back to blogging. Somehow, I'm gonna make this work and not be such a Negative Nelly. Just came off a 3 day spiritual retreat, and I know my head is in a better place now. Hopefully, I will get back to writing more patterns soon. Sad that outta all the stuff I've knitted & crocheted, I only have one pattern on Ravelry!! Gotta do better than that!

So - hopefully I'll be able to keep up with this better, and forget some of the crap, especially the work-related crap, of last year. Stay tuned - good things are coming, I promise!!

Peace!
