Good Saturday Morning to you Marion.....
I thought I would sleep in this morning, but it didn't happen. I am still hanging on to this cold and had a coughing fit that practically shook the house. Amazing enough, all the kids are still sleeping. I tried reading in bed to see if it would put me back to sleep, but I'm one of those people that once I'm up I'm up for the day.
Your swedish weaving is amazing. It looks very complicated! I love looking at other people's projects. What type of needle do you use? Is it a particular one for swedish weaving? I'm clueless about this craft. You'll have to go into more detail when you get time. I'm a curious crafter, LOL.
It sounds like you have a busy day ahead of you Sunday. I'm sure it will all go well. Those are a couple of good looking kids you have there!
I went to my LYS (local yarn shop), it's called KnitWits, yesterday and bought some beautiful lime green wool and a variegated mohair. I'm going to make myself a felted bag. I think the style will be similar to the red one I made for my mother-in-law. I haven't started it yet, because I have a small project in the works I want to finish first. Have you ever heard of knitted dishclothes? You use them to do your dishes and you knit them in cotton. I have made several and they work up fairly quickly and make nice gifts. I made my mom a set of four for Christmas and she refuses to use them. She doesn't want to get them dirty. LOL....I told her how sturdy they are and they can be washed over and over but she insists on using them as doilies. As long as she likes them, it's fine by me. Anyway, I'll take a picture of the yarn later today to show you. I also purchased a button to fasten it with. The button was $1.75 but it went so perfectly with the yarn, I just had to get it.
As for family, all is well. Bill is still working a lot and I worry about him. He has a very physcial job and he looks exhausted some days when he gets home. He's a good husband and dad. The kids, Kayla (19) has been dating the same man since June. He is her first boyfriend and they get along really well. He is here everyday and fits in with the family very well. He is a bit older than her and at first Bill and I were unsure. He attends the same church as us and asked her out for ice cream, we didn't think it was a big deal, one date, then it lead to another and another. We're happy with the relationship, he is very good to her and he feels like a family member. His father died when he was younger and his mom passed away about five years ago. So, I think he enjoys being around all of us. He (his name is Will, but everyone calls him Buddy), is quite the character and makes Kayla laugh like I've never seen her laugh. So as long as she is happy, we are too. Tabitha (16) is doing well also, she has some friends that she is very close to and my relationship with her is thriving. She used to seem hard to get close to, but we are closer now than we ever have been. Krista (who will be 12 the end of this month) is our social butterfly. She's always on the go being invited to parties and sleepovers. She has four friends from school she is close with a few from church. She's always busy! Tara (7) is a "mommy's girl" she sometimes has a hard time leaving me for school but I'm hoping she will eventually get over it. She's a sweetheart who very rarely does anything wrong and adores her baby brother. Speaking of Billy (who is now 4) he is still a handful. Very strong willed and witty for a four year old. He is all boy, rough and tumble and loves to aggravate all four of his sisters. Well, I think your pretty well updated. Time for you to update me on your family. I know you were renovating not that long ago, how did that go? Fill me in!
Sorry if this was a bit long, but I tend to ramble sometimes. We will make a good team for this blog. I hope your enjoying it as much as I am.
Love & Friendship,
Terry
