Washcloth Production Time

I swore I wasn't going to start any new knitting projects. I was going to get through the 2 (two) blankets that I already have on needles and make myself wait to start anything new. That is so not happening since I'm getting tired of the blankets even though I did do 4 rows of the blanket that is destined to be for Anna and Lily.. before I decided I needed a new chart to do my check offs on and rather than finding the book that I made the copy I was working off of i made myself type out the directions and made myself a table with all the rows that I had already done checked off already while the girls took a small nap this afternoon and I caught up on some tv shows that I like and haven't watched in a week or so.

Back to the new project though... I'm making a couple of new washcloths for the girls that have a Butterfly design on them. I'm already just about half way through the first one. Thankfully they go quickly once you get going. Maybe I'll do some Ducky ones too since they are in the same book as the Butterfly ones. I might have enough yarn already for these projects though one of my knitting friends sent me an email that the yarn I use for them is on sale this week. I'm trying to resist the urge. Sometimes resistance is futile though..

I now Mispronounce you...

For quite some time now the girls have been mispronouncing many many words and I thought I'd take a moment to review a few of the new ones..

Mommy I want to go on that branch... Anna at the Zoo wanting to cross a Bridge..

Mommy I need to listen to the mucus... Anna wanting some music

I want to show this to my peach ture... Lily wanting to show many things to her teacher

and back when they started talking... Momma.. s*it... Momma Sit.. that one was hard to figure out till they started patting my chair since I was busy trying to figure out who taught them to swear.

I actually enjoy trying to figure out what they are telling me though sometimes I need a context clue to help me get it.

A look back

A New Year is here.... finally...

I can probably sum up my feelings for 2011 in just 2 words... It Sucked..
I spent the majority of it in tears and doing things that I never dreamed I'd have the strength to do. Things that I will be doing for the rest of my life.

I said Goodbye to Nana for the last time in January.. and hoped and prayed that I wouldn't have to do that again any time soon.. someone else had other plans for me. Three months later I said Goodbye to the love of my life... a couple decades earlier than I ever thought I would.. thankfully I didn't need to do any more till November when my MIL died also.

2011 wasn't all bad.. I learned that I could lean on my friends no matter what and that they will be there for me... I gained some new friends (mostly widows).. and once I regained my balance.. the knowledge that I am a very strong and resilient person (though I still cry alot)..

I am glad that 2011 is over... I'm not exactly looking forward to 2012 (or any year without Lee in it) but I'll make the best of the situation that I am in and keep going.
