I'm in love




My first pair of Signature Needle Arts knitting needles....

Size 6, 10", stiletto tips, spiral top

Now I want a whole set.

I've cast on a scarf. I plan to knit until I can no longer hold my eyes open tonight.

This is the first night my family has been home together this week. We've all been running in different directions. Too busy!

I love having my little family cozy under the roof of home. Right now, I'm listening to Jake and Michael talk to each other excitedly about a box of basketball cards that they lucked into this week and can't wait to open to see what "treasurers" await inside. They both collect and it is fun to watch them share this hobby. They love to tell me all about it. And although I don't have a clue about most of the sports stars on the cards, I listen with interest, feeling blessed that they want to include me in their excitement.

Daybook September 2011

Found this on another blog... Love it and would like to try yo incorporate it at least monthly onto my own blog.

FOR TODAY :



Outside My Window...a sunny hot heatwave; it is supposed to be over 100 degrees today

I am thinking...about our upcoming vacation to Disney World and getting very excited!

I am thankful for...my husband and my son

From the kitchen...takeout for breakfast; love having McDonald's breakfast occasionally on the weekends

I am wearing...my PJs still and quite comfortable

I am creating...a knitted blanket and stitching Penny America

I am going...to go with Michael and Jake to shop for a new cell phone and a few vacation necessities this afternoon

I am reading...Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children; finished My Name is Memory this morning

I am hoping...that I can enjoy this long holiday weekend without thinking about work

I am hearing...Knitting Daily playing on TV

Around the house...still enjoying my newly decorated bathroom and very happy that the rose wallpaper is GONE!

One of my favorite things...weekends at home; everyone enjoying themselves doing whatever they choose to do

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: going to friends' home for a cookout tomorrow

My picture thoughts... I will be here soon....
