Yarn Along... I Found My Knitting!

~ Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading. I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now?

Do you see it?  Do you see why I didn't?  Yes, it has been there a month!  The day the knitting went missing was a very busy day.  We had so much going on.  One of the daughters and her family were here and my only guess is my son in law moved my knitting so the grandchildren wouldn't bother it.  Such a nice gesture, but I can't figure out why he would put it in the bookcase. He admitted  to moving it and we had a good chuckle ( although I told him he had to pay for all the new yarn I ordered and the stitch markers I replaced :))))   I am not a very observant person and when I am at home I don't wear my glasses or contacts.  Stuck back there on the shelf I might not have found it for many more months if I hadn't gone to re-shelve a book.  And might I say that Mr. Golfer didn't see it either.

I'm far enough into the new knitting that I will just frog this when I have time.  I want those markers more than anything.  I'm making fair progress on the new knitting. Wedding planning is really speeding up with just 155 days to go.  The invitations arrived and I must say they are stunning.  I so wish I could show you!!

I am still reading Mrs. Grant.  It's a little slow in parts but for the most part an enjoyable read.

Linking up with Ginny!

Reflecting

:: Family
The last few years as my two youngest daughters finished college I became use to the distance.  One in Miami, the other in Chicago.  Then they came home or I should say back to Texas.  Mary, our youngest did come back to our city.  The grandchildren lured her.  I knew Caitlin would never come back.  She is my wanderer.  My Indian blood runs strong in her. But she was only 2 1/2 hours away, so I often made the drive.  But then she met someone.  Life changed and the relationship became serious.  He was moving back home because Texas wasn't good for his business.  So Sunday, Mother's Day, I said another goodbye.  This time she is headed to Montana.

:: Catholic Faith

These past few weeks I have been talking with two young men about what marriage in the Catholic Church entails.  That marrying a Catholic woman outside of the Church is not considered valid in a Catholic home, our home.  This same statement was given to me when I married my husband.  His mother wouldn't budge and neither will I .

:: Scripture/Prayer
I spent this year in a study of Matthew.  I have been going back through it with a chapter each day.  Today I am meditating on forgiveness.  Jesus is so adamant that if we do not forgive others we will not be forgiven.  That absence of forgiveness will separate us from God.  Eternally.

:: Knitting

I am still working on the Baby Drops blanket.  After all the frogging, I put tons of markers in.  I need to finish this in the next couple of weeks.  There is another waiting in the wings!

:: Drawstrings
There has been a lot of interest in the shop.  In the next couple of weeks I will be featured on 2 blogs. I'm working at a frantic pace to get the shop stocked with bags.  But I am grateful for this opportunity God has placed in my life.  He is good.

:: Garden
Spring in Texas is so short and much of the first blooms are spent.  I am still waiting on buds from the day lillies. Zinnia seeds were planted a few weeks ago and those are beginning to poke up.  I'm also keeping a good eye on the herbs I planted.  This is my first year to really venture into herbs.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

:: Home
With summer approaching and my days of keeping grandchildren everyday coming to and end, my mind is in full gear thinking of projects.  The master bedroom will for sure be painted.  Caitlin left a lot of items here though and I am trying to find places to put them.  Closets will get cleaned in a few weeks as well. Have almost finished The Nester's new book.  It surely will put things into perspetive.

This post is a new avenue for me.  I am hoping to do this each Monday.  Maybe at some point weI will make it a linkup. Who knows!!
