The message is real......
I have to show you something CRAZY WEIRD! I acted like a little kid showing my friends after I read it! Last night I was taking pictures at a Cub/Boy Scout event for my friend Vanessa. They had Panda Express cater the event! YUMMY! There were "fortune cookies" at every table in the little take out containers. One of Vanessa's little ones came to the table where I was squatted down next to and asked if he could have all the cookies. I said...wait...let me have one first...I haven't had one yet and I want to read my fortune. So I cracked it open and read my fortune and about fell over!
omgosh!! How true is this? Missy will be here in 12 days! Out of ALL those cookies...I picked this one..wait...I didn't pick it..it was handed to me!!!! CRAZY WEIRD I tell you! I called Missy immediately. I couldn't talk...because I was supposed to be taking pictures and all...but I HAD to tell her!
I know that I have mentioned that I'm in a knitting frenzy before. I do not know what's come over me! Maybe because I'm cold...and it's nice to snuggle up under my warm blanket (and heater pad) and just sit there and knit. It's very relaxing! It's sorta like therapy! LOLOL I was struggling a bit...I hate to admit that...being the one that sews...but I just couldn't get down the transition from knit to purl back to knit. I kept gaining stitches! That was frustrating! The gal at our local yarn shop set me down and showed me what I was doing wrong and now I have it all figured out...well just the knit/purl thing figured out! Here are a couple dishcloths that I have made. I've heard that once you've used them, you'll never want to use the others again. Can you see the "beehive" on the top one? kinda hard to see in the picture.
And I've been quickly collecting lots of 100% cotton yarn....so I guess I plan on making lots more dishcloths!
Do you see those lil Annie's in the background??? I just put them on my website this morning! I even moved a couple over to the SALE page...so don't forget to check that out!
Look what I received in the mail this week! Trudy of Crows in the Attic Primitives and I did a lil fabric swap! She sent me some very YUMMY ones that I didn't have!!!!!
Well girls...I'm off to work...and tend to my lil one. He's not feeling good...and covered in HIVES again! Geesh...I don't know whats going on with this boy! I'll be calling the doctor 1st thing tomorrow! We NEED to get this under control!
Ihope you little one feels better, it can be scary. Mine is sick as well w/ a 103 temp. I got your pattern in the mail & cannot wait!! to work on it:0 thanks so much

Ok. This may sound silly but...those "dishclothes" are the BEST for washing your face or any skin regime you might do. They are all I use for my face :)

Knitting is addictive, I started knitting last year on New Years Day, and before I stopped I had made 18 scarfs, and Im not exagerating...good thing my daughter moved to CT.....I knitted everyday for months, I couldnt stop myself, something about repition I guess that is addictive...

What a wonderful treat in your fortune cookie...almost makes the hair on my arms stand up. Love your dishclothes...I've been crocheting since Sharon taught me when I was in CA and I love it...very relaxing. I love that Sugar and Cream cotton yarn...it's so fun to work with. Love those new Annies...I need to go shopping.
