Favorites...........

I was home in Minnesota recently for a visit with my family and to celebrate the crossing from 36 to 37. We had a great time but I'm scattered right now as I try to think of witty things to say, inspiring things to quote and basically make your day a bit brighter, instead I'm going to show you a few of my favorite photos from my trip and maybe that will do the trick.



Taking Sonny to dinner in Wayzata (Sonny is the name of the boat)


Jake the Snake

My sister in law and best friends daughter sleeping in her Belle Bebe Shrug I knit for her....


My beautiful mother

Sunset on Lake Minnetonka


This picture is bittersweet.....This is Maggie and she has been apart of my family for almost 15 years....Sadly the morning after I snapped this we had to say good-bye to our sweet girl. She will be missed but will be remembered with smiles and laughter and the thought that she can now run thru the gardend at Northome forever.

Life in the Time of Covid

I have officially been working from home. Staying home.  Self-Isolating.  Safe Distancing.  For three four months.  My last day at my office was March 12.  If I look back and track how this transition has gone it's roller coaster.  But if you really want an accurate accounting of how my time has been spent These pictures sum it all up Thank you Anna Hrochavec for your amazing inspiring patterns Happy End of June. May the odds be ever in our favor for July. Naked Gnome, Tiny Island, Unicorn tiny cat octopus. one of my favorites fried eggs.

Knitter Down...I Repeat, We Have a Knitter Down...

It's probably not that dramatic, well maybe it is, who can say for sure....but I can say this, right now from my elbow to my wrist is some gnarly pain that was flared last night after knitting 6 rows of the Shawl...SIX ROWS and then WHAMMO! so much pain. This isn't the first day I've had this, I've actually been ignoring for a few days ...okay, I've been ignoring it for a couple weeks but this is the worst it's been...So, I've made inquiries as to which doctor to see and am waiting to hear back to make an appointment...while I wait ice packs, and copious amounts of pain meds (don't worry by copius I really mean, recommended daily dose) are being taken with the shedding of a few tears while I fondle my knitting... stay tuned...this can't possibly last forever xoxoxo c. p.s. Fati...don't worry I have a plan if this whole wrist issues blows out of control...
