Rainy Sunday

It is a cold and rainy Sunday in Indiana and perfect for knitting.

I had to have some of my toenail taken off Friday and it is a little sore today. I think I overdid walking on it yesterday when I went shopping for things for my spoilee Ginny Crookshanks. I should have her package done and in the mail by the 17th.

My husband and I went to an auction last night and bought a beautiful 32 pc. set of dishes for $20.00. We had a good time together.

All for now, I need to go grocery shopping.

Apology

I would like to apologize to my housemates for not posting more often.

I have had some family disagreements with my grown daughter and my husband is losing his job in a couple of weeks which have left me extremely stressed. I even ended up in the emergency room with an anxiety attack.

I promise I will do better at posting in the future.

I am making my list of items to put in Ginny Crookshanks package and deciding what bag pattern to make for her.

I am also working on a pair of Cookie A's Monkey Socks for the SAM7 I Participate in.

We finally had some nice weather this weekend, it was about 62 degrees today.

I will post more this week.
