I'm a Knitting Machine!

Ha... not really, but I feel like it. :-) I took my knitting class yesterday and it was awesome! I know... I'm not even 80 yet and I love knitting.

It did sorta came back to me, but it does take some getting used to. The lady teaching me made me feel great, she said I was really good almost like a pro. I think that's why she gets paid. lol Unfortunately, I'm too much of a perfectionist and have undone the scarf I started like 6 times now. Finally, I decided to just keep any mistakes I make and keep going. There is one mistake so far (not bad) which I think I can fix by adding some sort of embelishment.

This morning while on a work related webminar I started the scarf (again). I'm a little further along now, but this was the start of it.

Ok... back to knitting! :-)

Let's try something new

Image
It's time to get started, yet again. January was full of unexpected things. My mom's heart problems became heart disease and we were faced with an emergency. That was trying on my nerves, to say the least. Thankfully, she is doing good which puts me at ease, somewhat. It's hard to be away from her and my dad. I worry about them daily. During that time, the hubs and I had to get the rental house ready for the new tenants. Our previous tenants left the house in a bit of a disarray. After lots of work, we finally got it ready and rented. Now we are hoping these tenants will be good and last for a long time. I hope all renters would take care of the property they are renting and pay on time. And now on to new things. I finished my first scarf! YEAY! So I ended up starting it like 8 times, but finally I gave up on trying to make it perfect and just go with it. There are a few mistakes at the start of it but by the end of it, it looks good. Here's a bad picture of it. ...

Happy New Year!!! It's gonna be great!

What a great start! I can feel the difference already! After dealing with bronchitis and pneumonia for over 2 months now, I can finally say that I feel better! I made a decision that Dec. 31st was gonna be my last day of being sick. While my doc may still think I'm sick, I'm changing how I think about it, how I speak... everything. No longer will the words or thoughts "I've got _____" come out of my mouth/head. Positive energy out / Positive energy in. For the last 15 years I've had a crush on Miami Dolphins Tight End Jason Taylor and today he retired from football. The game was a total tribute to his amazing career. Thankfully, the Dolphins were able to pull out a win for his last game ever. Glad I could be there to witness it and say goodbye. Even if he did ignore me. :-) Of course he doesn't know I'm alive. Anyhoo... I feel wonderful, tired, but wonderful. It's gonna be a great year!

Craft Room Redesign - Part 1

Image
While working on refinishing another piece of furniture (Post to come once finished), we decided to work on my craft room work desk top. Along time ago when Spiegel used to sell furniture, I purchased a great desk on clearance. Over the years my kitty cats used it as a bed, a scratching pad and a playground. Gotta love cats! The top work area was completely scratched and it was looking sad. My husband began sanding the top but the previous coats of stain made it impossible to sand properly. We decided to give the paint stripper a try. It was added to the top with a brush and we let it work for at least a half hour. Then we proceeded to remove the top layer with a spatula. There was still some stain left, so another coat of stripper was added.   I gotta say, though, had I known what a nice color removing one layer of stain would give, I would have stopped there. Unfortunately, since we had already sanded a spot (the clear spot on the top), w...
