Changes….

It seems that change is inevitable - whether we want it or not.  Sometimes the change is from within ourselves, but other times the change is from external forces.  I think that a large part of lifes stess is due to my inability to accept change.  Now, that being said...

I'm in!!!!

Ravelry, that is!  I got my invite today!!  Woohoo!!!  Okay, so this is quick and from work - my user name is AsKatKnits!  This looks like an excellent way to waste time!!  (as if I need another way to waste time!!)

Baby knitting!

Hello everyone - I got the most wonderful phone call from an incredibly dear friend - who, by the way, has been trying, with her dearest husband, for the last 15 years to get pregnant for the second time.  Well, she let me know that they are expecting!!!  I was so...

Summer Time and the knittin' is easy…

Summer Time and the knittin' is easy…

Hello Everyone! Here is hoping you all had a great week! The weekend was truly welcome here in West Michigan. I was truly in need of a weekend. With taking a day "off" - not really off, but out of the office - I played "catch up" all week. I am more than ready for a...

The Knitting Mystery

Hello everyone!  Numbers show that many of you are knitting Mystery Stole 3 - and I am one of them.  With well over 6500 of us knitting along - it gives a whole new meaning to the idea of "Knitting Community".  I have not knit much lace - outside of some socks (which...

Photo Finish!

Lansing, FO's, and Friends!

Hello everyone!  How is your summer going?  I hope as well as mine - I spent yesterday in lovely Lansing at Mecca surrounded by a multitude of yarns.  What was I doing there, you ask?  Well, I went over with Lynne and Laura.  Laura was kind enough to drive.  We were...

The Postman Rings Twice!

The Postman Rings Twice!

Hello Everyone! As you may know, work for me has been insanely busy this past week. Therefore, I headed in to work bright and early on Saturday morning! I could not sleep as the looming work was swirling around in my head! So, I headed in to work in the quiet that...

And so it begins….

Hello Everyone!  Well, July has most certainly begun!  Why is it that when it rains, it pours?  No measurable rain as of yet, but it is certainly raining in my life right now!  I am looking for the rainbow desperately!  Work was slow in June - so I put in my request...

Friday, oops, Sunday Follies

Okay, how on earth did June whiz by so quickly? Is anyone else as baffled by this as me? I am stunned that today brings the last working day in June! today is the first day of July! I am even more stunned that Sunday will have July marching in! I did not get this...

Blue Mornings, Blue Days

Hello everyone!  Am I blue?  Nope!  But, the skies here sure are - blue in the morning, blue at noon, and blue as the sun goes down!  All this glorious, cloud-free, weather is causing West Michigan to become a bit parched!  I am watering up a storm - I will post some...

Drive Time

Hello everyone - Sam has 2 more days of driver's training...2 more days!  It will be nice to have this aspect of parenting completed!  It has gotten easier with each child - so I am happy to be finished running back and forth to get him there at the various hours the...

Father's Day

Hello Everyone - Happy Father's Day!  This is an ambiguous day in my house.  I am spending the day with Heidi and Sam - their dad does not think Father's Day is a big deal.  Strange, huh?  Growing up, my dad would not have won any awards for his fathering skills.  I...

Summertime and the livin' is easy?

Summertime and the livin' is easy?

Hello Everyone!  Well, we have survived graduation festivities - barely!  After going over to my ex-husbands home for the day - they had asked for some help with "last minute" food items - I wonder at my level of sanity.  So, I head over to the "Taj Mahal" and what am...

Photographic Friday!

Photographic Friday!

Okay, look out everyone - this is going to be a photo intensive post!  I forgot my camera last night at Knit Knite - but a good time was had by all.  Lots of laughter, new projects cast on, some sharing of UFO's that are becoming FO's!  It seems that not everyone at...

I have set my rainbow in the clouds…

I have set my rainbow in the clouds…

Wow, huh? It is amazing to see one rainbow but when two miraculously appear it is awe inspiring!  A mirror image of the first - what a glorious sight.  I watched the cars whiz by as we stood outside and basked in the beauty before our eyes and I wondered how many of...

It is June? Where did May go?

Wow, I am stunned to find June has barged right on in - shooing May right out the door!  I was so enjoying May - and now it's gone for another whole year!!  There were lots of good things about May - tulips blooming, lilacs blooming, trilliums blooming - lots of...
