jump for joy

we're all clear. praise God! I have so much to be thankful for. thank you to all my friends and Christian family for your prayers and well wishes. I am blessed to have you all in my life! and yes I would put a lamb jumping instead of me....or a person.

waiting is the hardest thing

I still don't know what the cat drug in, the catch of the day or what.  It's been a little less than two weeks and my marathon of appointments begin today. In the meantime, I have been spinning like nobody's watching except me and it's been a doozy.  I have almost finished the 4 ounces that I separated from the 8 ounce bag I purchased a LONG time ago.  I can feel the wheel begin to slow on the scotch tension and there's still room to add more fiber.  I hope it will all fit, but somehow I know it will. such a bad photo, but what can you do in poor lighting on a whim?   Then in my stress fueled knitting frenzy I make this.  It's adapted from Danger Crafts knitted bunny nuggets .  It was super cute knit in pieces with some finagling in the sewing up parts, but I like one piece toys so I made it that way.  Then we had a little sewing emergency last Friday and I had to do some uber fast thinking to fix my hubby's shirt at 5:00...

ooh just knit this in two days - not for me, but I really like the color choices.  it reminds me of berries or a berry sherbet.  it's not really a pattern, just something I figured out.  cast on 100.  join in the round.  garter stitch 4 rows, knit 25 rows in same color switch to contrast color for 25 rows and then finish in 4 rows garter stitch.  bind off. Oh gosh - the pictures don't rotate properly.  Ugh.

two posts in one day - holy cow the world IS ending.  actually I just checked in with a blog I follow and was inspired.  mostly by the random deep thoughts that she posted.  it's Joy the Baker and sometimes, it's not about cooking.  and that's okay. I am definitely a half full kind of girl.  it could always be worse, it could always be better.  it just depends on where you want to be on that line.  it isn't something that just comes or part of your personality - it's a choice that you make.

so sweet

Unexpected, yes.  Thank you friend.
