An AMAZING THING HAPPENS....A YARN ALONG

An amazing thing happens when you
get honest with yourself and start doing
what you love, what makes you happy.
Your life literally slows down. You
stop wishing for the weekend. You
stop merely looking forward to special
events. You begin to live in each moment
and you start feeling like a human being.
You just ride the wave that is life, with
this feeling of contentment and joy.
You move fluidly,  steadily, calm and
grateful. A veil is lifted and a whole
new perspective is born.

The Window Panes Baby Blanket
is almost complete.  I have decided
to add a few more inches and then
once I bind off sew a handful of
satin roses in one corner with a few
roses scattered around the panes.
I love the simplicity of this pattern
and have an idea floating around
about casting on another blanket,
this time for my bed.

My reading, The Homecoming of Samuel Lake
grabbed me from page one. The writing
is easy, the story compelling and the
characters interesting...a perfect book to
sit outside on a lazy afternoon as the sun
shines down.
