Running

For a few years now I have always envied those who ran.  Runners usually are healthy, lean and fit.  I want  that to be me and twice this week it has been.  Twice in the past four days I have gotten on the treadmill and ran a mile without stopping.  Granted, it was not at a fast pace and a mile probably seems like a warm up to those of you who are runners, but I am so happy with myself that I kept up with it and if time wasn't an issue I probably would have kept on going, something just seemed to click and I didnt want to stop.

So, for now, I am more than happy with my mile!

A Few Things I Have Been Thinking About Lately

                                             Staying cozy and warm........

                                             Falling leaves.  Good coffee

                                        Crocheting, knitting and big buttons.

                                      Pottery class.

                                     Getting time to paint again.

Hopefully I will be getting into a schedule 'groove' soon.  Although, I can be a schedule person I cannot say I am groovy;)...So, I think it is going to take a couple weeks to work out the kinks:).

BTW...

Last  week I finally got an iPhone:) I am not a technology geek. New things come out that everyone has and I'm still debating if i want it and saving up my money. Even so, I've been wanting one of these for a while and my old phone was dying on me. I finally took the plunge and I LOVE it:). 

Wiped out

This sums up how I feel this week....

Knit One Purl Wha?

I can still remember my Grandma's cylinder shaped knitting case with blue flowers on the outside , probably from the 70's(at least thats what I remember it as).  I always loved going into the TV room closet and looking at all the different color and shaped knitting needles.     My Grandma taught me how to crochet when I was pretty young, but after many pitiful tries over the years I never did learn how to knit.

 I love the ones with the little faces!

Forward to 6 months ago and I came across a Kids Learn to Knit DVD at the craft store. I guess a 6 year old on TV was what it took to teach me how to knit, because this time around I finally got it! In the beginning of June I started my first knitting project.  It has been crazy slow going, but hopefully I will be finished soon and get some pictures posted.

I don't know what happened to all my Grams needles, but I have since started my own collection.  I have always been drawn to them when i would see them even before i knew how to knit.

Here Goes Nothin....

Its Back to school time for my two lil men and after a lot of procrastination, I am ready to get my Esty store stocked and a lot of new projects started.

One Thing I have wanted to do for a long time is start a blog.  I am sure I will look back and cringe at my grammar and spelling, but it will be a fun way to journal this time in my life and keep everyone updated in whats going on in my little corner of the world.  I am hoping to share photos, inspiration and things that make me happy. Who knows what is blog will slowly become.

Here goes nothing...
