Sshhhh...I have a secret...

I have been sewing! Yes, I have always sewn, but now I have a state of the art non-computerized machine, by Brother. It was given to my mother and she broke it by not cleaning it, and then when I fixed it, she did not use it for over a year. I asked her why and she said she did not think that I had fixed the machine, because it was not working like it used to, she did not even try it for herself, she was watching me sew.....I did not go fast enough for her viewing pleasure, so I suggesting taking it from her and she was happy to oblige. I am giving my old machine to someone who like to learn to sew, and it should be a good first machine. Some other things that have happened; I found a local knitting group to join, it only took 5 years. I found Adorn magazine, super cool ideas...and I found a magazine called Cotton and Paint. There are some awesone slippers in it, and I am going to make two pair I think. I bought fabric for red ones and fabric for mauve brown ones...mmmmmm. Okay, here is a take a long bag that I made for my son, because no one gets his name right or returns his things...watch them try it now.

Working....on everything ; )

I have been busy for the past week or so, I have been working, I got done this evening at about 9:30. I have to go to work tomorrow too, and I do not know exactly how long it will take, but I do know that I can seriously make money cleaning. It is so strange how much people get paid to clean empty places. I worked so hard scrubbing that my legs literally ache all the way down the fronts and backs....I am getting ready to take a HOT bath. I can't wait. Rest assured that I have been knitting when I find that I can breathe, but it is on an older project that I am getting close to finishing. I want to work on my knit in chunks, but I find that I have to concentrate, and I can't hardly do that around my kids. Okay, my water is ready, I am going to sink in.....talk at you later....

I'm really doing it!

I have never done cables like this folks, but it really is easy, I just don't get a lot of time to work on it. I have three other projects going, and I need to finish a pair of gloves for my Dad. But, here is my progress thus far. I have been cleaning, and taking care of my sick little boy, and then tomorrow I get to take my daughter to the doctor for her three year check up....as a preliminary request of the neurologist. We think there may be something wrong with my daughter, she has trouble listening, and she doesn't answer questions coherently, and there are several other things that worry me, but one of the biggest is that she did not used to have these problems....and we don't know why she is having problems with things that she did not have problems with before. It's very strange, I had asked the doctor about the possibility that something went awry when she had her tonsilectomy, and they said that it could have been possible for her to have a stroke or seizure and no one would have known. I have been asking the doctor about these strange behaviors for a while now (months), and if I find out that it was a stoke or seizure I will be upset, because now the damage will be irreversible. They kept telling there was nothing to worry about...but now they are worried too.
