    Goals and Dreams for 2016

    January 23, 2016 /

    Can you believe January is here? The fact that I am writing this and it is January 23rd blows my mind even more. This year had brought some interesting days for me. So far I have had my first really bad ear infection and then yesterday I feel off going down the steps of my porch. I feel hard and bruised several parts of my body. As I write this I am sitting with a heating pad on my neck and shoulders because I am so sore. However, despite the issues I have had there is always one thing I can turn to beside my family and faith. I love…

    December Wrap Up

    December 30, 2015 /

    made for me from my friend Debra Today is December the 30th. Wow that is a crazy sentence to write. The end of the year is always bitter sweet to me.

    Less Time For Chores more Time for Knitting

    November 15, 2015 /

    So I am not sure if you are like me but I would much rather spend my time crafting than doing chores. However, I can not do that. I do however stream line my day to day activities so I can craft more. You can ask any of my friends and I am very OCD and very organized but am so so I can relax more. It works for me and my family.
