Moving Day

Well today is the big day for me. Time to change from the old to the new blog. Please change your blog rolls and such to reflect the new change.

Now don't you fret one little bit,  this blog will still be available and there will be a link to it on my new site. 

Are you ready?

Then come on over and visit. Same old me but with a new purpose. See you there.

Bath Mat

One day while I was knitting a 4 Corners Dishcloth I wondered if I could knit a bathmat using the same principles of the dishcloth that I was knitting.

After much trial and error I succeeded and I am positively thrilled with the results.

It came out exactly how I envisioned it. Don't you love it when that happens? I did write a pattern for it should you be interested creating one and there is a link on the side bar too.

By the way it would also would make a nice lap robe if you knit it with wool instead. The mat just about cooked me here in Florida while I was working on it. 

I'll see you on Monday with my new blog format. Don't worry it will all be good.

Christmas Presents

As I was standing on the beach Christmas evening watching the fireworks I was overwhelmed with a tremendous sense of gratitude.

I was thankful that God choose for me to be born an American and that I had the freedom to celebrate His birth on the shores of the great country with a spectacular fireworks display in His honor.

What a magnificent God He is and it is truly a wonder that He would love a lowly person like me, who is truly insignificant in the grand scheme of things, but He does none the less. 

Other than the fireworks, Christmas day was rather peaceful and quite. We spent the day with TBC's family giving and receiving presents.

TBC and his mother were both so kind as to bless me with gift certificates to Great Balls of Yarn.  I was at the shop the very moment they opened up on Wednesday morning to pick out my treasures, because they were having 25 percent sale and I certainly did not want to miss that.

Though I did have enough dollars to buy enough yarn for a luxurious sweater I succumbed to the lure of sock yarn again.

RB presented me with a very clever mug, which made me smile.
