They Grow Up So Quickly....

Where has the Time Gone?

Class of 2010

Time just goes by so quickly! It seems like just the other day I was rocking her to sleep, listening to baby giggles, holding her hand as we walked to G'mas house, teaching her how to ride a bike, watching her give her first important speech at school, watching her shine in her dancing.....now Im going to be watching her graduate. I am so proud of you! You are beautiful & I love you!

(yes, I am crying again...quit making fun of me and just get the tissues=)

Congratulations! You have worked very hard to get to where you are now and I know you will continue to grow and work hard in the future, building the life you have dreamed of for yourself.

I wish you love, health, happiness and success. If anyone can accomplish it all it's you.

Way to go Hun!

Bella

Im hoping that G'ma will adopt Bella or that we get to keep her ....she is such a sweetheart!

Update: My mom did adopt Bella and everyone loves her....we go visit all the time. She has gained some weight and is now flee free! Seriously heading towards the spoiled kitty thing. Im really happy she has a good home now and my mom has a buddy. You can tell Bells loves her too=)

Knitting Drama

I was being so careful with this cabled scarf project....then I noticed about 5 rows back there is a twisted stitch & a loose stitch that is noticable.UGH! Ripping out cables is no fun and some what confusing to me... the stitches I want to fix are actually only visible on the back, but being the picky crafty person I am it is bugging me to death. So, I have been trying to decide whether I need to move on or go back and fix it. All my stitches are correct until then and I think

another knitter would notice. Back it is then... and I will be alot happier with it when its finished.

My knitting shop also closed this past week, so I am totally traumatized. Im afraid to make a mistake & I miss my knitting girls and our wonderful friend and teacher Jeanie:(We made a colorful group and loved sharing stories and projects. It was never boring! The thought of quitting knitting altogether crossed my mind more than once. I love knitting and all that goes with it, but I have troubles reading and understanding new patterns. Some of my knitting goofs I just cant fix either. Keeping fingers crossed that she will re-open in a new location like originally planned. Please,Please,Please!!!!

After I got my mind set on fixing it, it didnt take to long to get back to where I needed to be in my pattern. Since fixing my blunders is a challenge I have to say I had no problems this time. Went down a few rows and fixed it with a crochet hook. The best way to learn is hands on, so I was rather pleased with myself! I popped in a movie and continued knitting, only to realize that I goofed again after adding about 10 new rows...UGH. Guess there will be no more New Moon while Im trying to knit.I must have been distracted a wee bit! Darn it!

Baby Blond Squirrel

Awww, so cute! This is one of the new little ones running around the neighborhood this spring. She's very shy!

A Walk in the Park...

I thought this was too funny.

A wild Canadian goose is nesting in one of our parks huge flower pots.

Yes, she is real... and they even blocked off the area for her.
