Saying it without pictures...........

I had a wonderful experience today. I would really like to be able to express the importance and heartwarming meaningfulness of the moment….but I doubt I will do it justice.

My sister came to visit from up north. She arranged a get together with another sister over lunch. A sister I had not talked to for a very long time for many reasons; many of which are not worth even thinking about any more. I was able to re-unite with my local sister after far too much time had gone by. It was one of those memorable moments in time that will probably remain with me for a very long time….perhaps for the rest of my life. That would be a very good thing. For the first time in our lives we engaged in wonderful conversation and laughs that were able to wipe away meaningless words, gestures and thoughtlessness on my part. For the first time I felt like we were truly engaged in each others conversation and it gave me that warm feeling I was missing.
I hope it’s the rebirth of more wonderful and heartfelt conversations and the beginning of a time in our lives that will rise above everything that may have come before.

Life is short. Life is what we make of it. Life can be very good
My life feels more complete than it has in a very long time. The missing piece is back where it belongs and I know I am better for that. Welcome back into my heart Anne. You have been missed.

I'm Done.....!!

Yup....I'm done!
Me. Queen of the Unfinished Project!
Myself. Who probably actually has enough projects, kits and patterns to keep myself and a small village busy into the next century.
I. Who has absolutely no reason WHATSOEVER to set so much as a foot inside a craft shop or yarn store for the rest of my life.

I bought the yarn.

I knitted and cabled until my fingers were numb, chapped and twisted.










I plugged along. Moaning and groaning to anyone who would stand still long enough to listen to me....whether they wanted to or not. "See those cables? See how small they are? Do you know how long its taking to knit this?" Lots of kind people listened, nodded their heads and humored me. They really were very, very kind.













Well....here it is! Done!!!

And you know what? I loved every minute of it!!!
I think she likes it.
