Tuesday Thoughts

What a crazy week. Last week it was just knitting as I went….life ticking by….and a house came open in the little town where my family and friends live and I thought “why not check it out ?”…….and I got it. I’m already moving my quilting and knitting stash over. I’m so excited….I couldn’t do it without my friends and family….and friend’s family…..such a relief. Such a great space, too.

I gave the house a present of three flower pots this morning. There is a huge wrap around deck that I can picture myself sitting on and knitting and having coffee in the morning. A wonderful space for having family and friends over to eat and laugh. I’m excited…if not a little blown away. Not a direction I thought I would be going in this week…..but, hey, I’m up for it.

I’ll have a sewing room and an art room, a huge open, airy living room that opens on the deck in the back…..did I say I was excited ?

So, I got my one sock done and the second one a good way towards the finish line…….

And some of the yummiest yarn and bag came from Jodi Brown of Mrs Brown’s Bags (on Etsy)…she is one half of The Grocery Girls……it smells so good……..the colors are so vibrant….as much as I love the yarn above (like knitting with butter)….I am casting on something for moi with this new yarn ASAP……..

Lizz didn’t like the picture I posted……no one ever likes their own picture…….but she won’t let me take another one…….she and her daughter and I are going to the movies tomorrow to see the original ‘True Grit’, maybe she’ll let me take one she approves of. Who has a ‘best line’ from that movie ? My favorite is:
“This is the real article. It is a double-rectified busthead from Madison County, aged in the keg. A little spoonful would do you a power of good.”
I would not put a thief in my mouth to steal my brains.”

I know it is originally from Othello, but it’s classic ‘True Grit’. Will love seeing it on the big screen.

Well, a little packing, a little knitting…..a whole lot of chocolate……….

Oh, look…………shiny
