A lot has happened since my last post. We had my sister's funeral, which went very well. Karen left a lot of people with a lot of good memories. Her smile was such a blessing to so many. She struggled with her RA with dignity and humor. She was close to the Lord and I know she is with Him now. I love you, Ka, and miss you terribly. I'll see you soon! (soon being a relative term - earthly time compared to eternity. I don't want anyone jumping to any conclusions).
Anyway, Gracie had her surgery. She did great! She sounds like Donald Duck, but the doctor assured me that would go away as the swelling goes down. So, far, 1 week, 1 day later, she still sounds like Donald Duck. As Karen would say, "greaaaat". lol Gracie is so precious. She went to church last night and was just raising her hands during praise and worship and praising her Lord. I thank God for such a blessing and the opportunity to be her mom. God has blessed me with 4 wonderful children. All successful and all pretty much well behaved - as far as I know anyway. Ignorance is bliss in a lot of areas!
I am back in my shop today! Had a very good day! Met lots of neat folks, Gracie actually sold some of her artwork to some very kind ladies from Carthage. I have finished spinning some Golden Retriever hair for a customer and started knitting it into a heart pillow today. It's going to be very pretty. Reminds me a lot of Angora hair. Has a beautiful halo to it.
Of course, my fun project of all time is the Enterlac scarf! I love knitting it! And people's reactions to it are so fun! I should finish it up within the next week or two. Can't decide whether to keep it, sell it, or gift it!
I received my "bling" to spin with my handspun! Stay tuned for some beautiful sparkly yarns!! I can't wait to get started!
I received a lot of Concord grapes in Tuesday. Luckily, my mom told me I could just stick them in the freezer until I am ready to deal with them. That was good news!! So, they went from the box, to the Ziplock to the freezer. Some are in the frige for munching. I love them! Also, canned 10 jars of peaches. Yummy! Added a bit of cinnamon to mine.
Enough for now!
Take care and have a blessed day!
