Tolentreasures

I can't believe that I am at my 99th post already. Watch for tomorrow's post and I'll start a giveaway of some type. I have an idea....we'll have to wait and see how that works. I would like to thank everyone for their comments of support, thoughts and prayers for my recovery. It is so nice to hear from each of you and I really appreciate you keeping me and my family in your thoughts and prayers. I am feeling better every day but it is much slower than I expected that it would be. This really has me feeling every bit of my age....and then some. It has been over 24 hours since I took any pain medication though and for that I am thankful. Tomorrow I go back to the doctor to get the staples out. The car ride could be a mixed blessing though. These are some to the items that I have been working on. They all need blocked, but the iron and ironing board are upstairs so that will have to wait. Shawnee and the princess visited this AM for a little while and she p...

My very first SOCK! When I started to try to learn to knit at the first of the year, I never would have thought I would have made it to socks this fast. I am racing on to the match for it now! When I was in the Dominican in January we had to go to Santo Domingo one day and made a brief stop in the Colonial Zone. It is a fun place of gift shops and so much history. I found these amber bead/drops in a little gift shop and brought them home with the idea of making gifts with them. This is the first one that I have finished. This scarf was found in the attic partially finished, finished it up yesterday and it is going in the donation bin. Sure hope that I find a home for these before next winter. This was an experiment in penny rugs. I wondered how ovals would work instead of circles. It is my mug rug now. Not a hard project to finish, this had been painted and in the stash for over a year. I finally just dug it out and put the wire on it and put it on the front door of my new...

First of all, here is the princess in her sweater, it did not fit quite right, but I learned so much making it. Poor little thing, she is sick with a cold right now and the little boys are both sick also. Hope that all didn't happen at Grammie's house last Saturday night? I am totally, over the top, addicted to knitting! I found this book at the library and am reading it, nothing like adding a little knitting to your devotion time in the AM! Then I found this self-help for knitter's book in the craft section at the library...very helpful although is does not show you how to knit and run the sweeper or fold laundry. Maybe I should write that book....as soon as I figure out how to do it. This is my new item to feed the addiction, SOCKS!...or as in this case, SOCK! This has been another learning experience and while I have been working on it I am seeing striped socks and cable socks (not that I have a clue how to make a cable stitch) baby socks and hunting socks for the...
