WIP - I'm finishing up the felted bag. I’m working on the I-Cord. I will go to knitting tonight at my LYS. I’ve been trying to go on Tuesday’s b/4 Bible study. It’s fun. I’m also working on a pair of felted mittens for my DD. I also bought yarn for a pair for DIL. I also signed up for a fingerless glove class! Whew...lots to do, and a sweater class, using “The Sweater Workshop” book. Bought yarn for Face cloths and got a pattern. So I will be busy knitting!!!!
What I’m Doing – I’m going to plant tuplips, clean out all the flower beds and get the “white lights” ready. I also want to bake some bread and bulk hamburger.
What Audio Books I’m Listen To - I just finished“Blood Memory” by Greg Iles. A very good book. Guess what I have “A Good Yarn” on CD. I’m planning on listening this weekend while I knit!!!.

Mood– Depressed – It’s Friday- It’s nice to be home but… work is awful right now!!!!
WIP - Birthday scarf for my little knitter friend. A felted bag, a scarf for a friend at church, and I started on DD mittens, and oh yeah the hat for my WF- I’ve had to frog 2X. The Amble socks.. well I worked on them about 10 hours while on vacation and decided that I didn’t like the pattern.. even though I figured it out. I think it was the “Lorna’s Lace Yarn” and the colorway. Is it all right to frog a project and not finish? I feel a little sad and a failure… well just a little. I will post pictures later.
What I’m Doing – We’re going to the cabin tomorrow and get all the items that might freeze and bringing them home. We’re going to bring Snoopy. I hope my DD packs his “New Sweater” – It’s cold up there..low of 49. Vacation was wonderful.. Ocean Shores was great.. more on that and all the Knitting later. Best news of all was the doctor was very happy with my husband!!! PTL. Said he doesn’t want to see him again till the spring!
What Audio Books I’m Listen To - Since I last posted I’ve listened to 2 books and read “The Shop on Blossom Street". I loved it. I’m going to listen to it next. Now I’m listening to “Falling Awake” by Jayne Ann Krentz. It’s going kind of slow. Been to busy at work to stay at it. My friend just got “A Good Yarn”. I can’t wait for her to share.
Weather - Overcast with rain showers at times. High 59F. Low 48F.Winds SSE at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 60%. Currently 55F. Fall is definitely here.

Mood – Friday- Happy- Vacation is coming!!!!
WIP - Birthday scarf for a co-worker. Need it done by Monday. Hat for Cindy. And started Amble socks.. although I don’t think I like color. I’ve got my index cards done with the pattern all written out.
What I’m Doing – Getting ready to go on vacation and my DH semi annual Doctors appt. in Seattle. First to Modesto for a softball tournament.. then to Oceanshore, Wa. We will spend a week with my good friend and knitting buddy. Then to the doctor. Pray for my husband if you think of it. I want to go to LYS tonight for Open knitting. I need to look for more PLUM color Galway so I can finish the felted slippers for my DD. (see picture)
What Audio Books I’m Listen To- Since I last posted, I’ve read 4 books and started one that I decided against. Now I’m listening to “Dead Sleep” by Greg Iles and it’s very good. While we’re at the Cabin last week I listen to "Sudden Prey", "Vanishing Acts", "By A Spider’s Thread" and "In the Company of Cheerful Ladies". All good!

Mood– Wednesday- I wanted to post last week but ran out of time. Boy we’ve been having nice weather. Softball is winding down. Big year end tournaments then to Medesto California for year end tournament. Can’t wait. Then to Oceanshores and lots of knitting with my good friend.
WIP - The Chutes and Ladder socks are almost finished. I hope to post a picture here. I don’t know if I can upload to the 6 SOX ring. I’m starting 2 more birthday scarves. I went to my LYS and got some really nice scarf yarn on sale!!!! Also picked up some kids yarn. I need to steer clear of that place! What I’m Doing – Bible school/camp at church was a bust for the knitting class. Only 3 girls signed up. But the rest was a success. My darling husband is going to “Willow Creek” in Chicago for a mens retreat… so we're getting him ready to leave. Then I'll be knitting.
What Audio Books I’m Listen To- I’m on Disk 5 of “The Millionaires” read by Tony Goldwyn. Great read. Spy’s ---Secret Service-- $$$$$$. Good.

1st and foremost - I love the Lord. I love my famiy very much and have worked at the same place for 45 years.Most of all I love being "NaNa" to my grandsons 10,7, 5, and 2 years. I need my Day planner and calendar (just a plain 3x5 notebook.)
I feel lost without my TO DO list. I've worked since I was 14 years old. I've had a library card since I can remember.
I go to libraries when we're on vacation. I started knitting when I was 5 years old. I like to listen to audio books while I'm knitting. Broccoli is my favorite vegetable.
