Sweetness

My little boy smiling when I walk in the door.
My Melodie-girl always bringing me flowers home from her visits to grandma's house.
My Harmony and all her cuddles and hugs all day long.
Stealing a couple of hours a week to spend at a local knitting group, even if I am the youngest by a good 10-15 years.
Working in a few minutes here and there to create some gifts and things for us.
Accepting that I may some day master making handkerchiefs with a sewing machine, but have not done so yet.
Knowing that one day we will have our own place surrounded by trees where we can do as we wish without worries of a landlord mowing down flowers and vegetables(just wish this was a sooner rather than later thing).

So far I'm somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 the way finished on the baby bolero from One Skein. I have spent maybe an hour on it and it is quick and easy. I don't have a booties pattern yet though since spending any length of time sitting with my feet down is very uncomfortable (which is the only option in front of my computer). Although I am not going to follow the bolero pattern exactly (okay already have not) since I know this little one will not be that tiny and the thought of picking up 164 stitches to do two rows of ribbing does not appeal. Instead I am just going to crochet around the edges, most likely using a half double stitch. Time to save the house from Harmony. Enjoy your Friday and just think tomorrow is Halloween!!!!

Update

I am a bit better. Exhausted, shaky(from medicine) and sore(from coughing), but slowly mending. Evidently I am among a nice sized group in the area with the same issues, but the NP was great and very helpful. I got a small round dishcloth finished while waiting at the Dr's office. I'll try to get a picture and write down the pattern for anyone interested. It is simple knitting and short rows and goes pretty quickly. Most of my other attempts at knitting and crocheting wip's have lead to frogging. So I am making my version of grandma's favorite washcloth for a friend's 4 month old. Then I plan on making a small stack for a woman she knows who is having twins in a month and has next nothing for them. It has taken me over an hour to write this with all the interruptions here and hence I have forgotten a couple of things I was going to type. Oh well. C'est la vie. Take care everyone and thank you!!
