Green

by ⋅ 1 Comment

Wednesday J3 stayed home from school so he could get his cast (rather than the temporary one he got at the ER on Saturday).  I guess he had MANY color options – including Camo!! – and opted for Green.  His Dad bought him a silver sharpie so he could have friends sign it, but his brother gave him a black one because it shows up better.  He was super-excited to show it off at Awanas – though he was bummed that he could not play any of the games!

He also used the money he got from Grandma & Grandpa O (though they warned him, you only get money for the first broken bone – so no plans for making more money this way!) to buy green army men – LEGO green army men!  This boy seriously loves green!

Knit Night

by ⋅ 1 Comment

For several years I’ve been meeting weekly with a group of knitters – we’ve met at various venues and on various nights. One of the consistent things about our group is that they always raise my spirits! Last week, Ruth had this bag of treats out for our enjoyment! We never opened the bag, it was just too cute! 😉

My new knitting bag

by ⋅ 5 Comments

Saturday night, before the ER trip, Eric and I went to pick up a few things at Walmart.  I saw this bag and instantly could see that it would make a GREAT knitting bag!  And, it was only $10!! Sweet!

The inside had pockets and slots to hold various sized tools:

And, two separate pieces – a pocket to hold the little things I carry (stitch markers, tapestry needles, cable needles, etc)

and the other one opens up for other tools….but it works GREAT for some of my circs!

And, it doesn’t hurt that it’s purple! ;-)  If you want to find one of these for yourself….you can find them at Walmart in the automotive/tool area.  It’s made by Stanley and is for the Barbara’s Way tools.  It’s 12.2 x 9.05 x 5.51 inches in size.
