Heavy Heart



My heart has been heavy thinking about the recent news occuring in Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania. My prayer is that we all will hear God's voice and see God's love in the way this community is handling this tragic event.
"Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is -his good, pleasing and prefect will." Romans 12:2

Corners of My World

I have seen several people post pictures of various spots throughout their home. Recently Autum posted a pictorial entry of views throughout her home and in her town. I thought I would share a few corners in my home....not too many because I have to admit my house has been somewhat neglected. The weekends have been spent with my husband going to college football games. So chores have been neglected. Anyway....here are a few:
My Corner This is my corner where I knit, watch TV and nap. I love this chair. So comfy!

Sewing Corner This is my corner where I sew. I wish I had more space. I have to go to a different room to cut and press the fabric.

And speaking of sewing. I have started my fall table runner. It's a circular runner. Pumpkins will be appliqued in the inner circle. It has been a week since I started it. I plan to get back to it this week. I'm afraid if I wait too much longer, time will pass and it will be time to pull Christmas stuff. Fall Table Runner

I have started a Garterlac dishcloth using the pattern from Criminy Jickets
Garterlac It is hard to see the details in the photo. I am using a white variegated Sugar'n Cream. It is a fun pattern.

I also have completed a brown and blue dishloth using a beaded pattern from CatKnitz.
Beaded Dishcloth This, too, is a fun pattern.

While taking a couple of pictures of corners in my home, I discovered that I had several corners with baskets of yarn.
Yarn Corner #1Yarn Corner #2Yarn Corner #3Yarn Corner #4 Well, obviously I don't need to shop for yarn anytime soon.
I hope tomorrow I can take photos of my trip to work and share my town with you. It is a neat town although I wish it had more places to shop.

Speaking of gifts....I ordered a couple of pairs of earrings from Heidi and was so please with them, I think I'll order some for gifts for Christmas. My nieces would love these.IM000263IM000250

30 Years...Where Did The Time Go?


My husband and I have been married for 30 years. Our anniversary was Monday. I have lived longer with him than with my parents. Amazing! This is one of my favorite pictures of him with our son taken on a camping trip.
