Just a Relaxing Day Today
It’s easy to get behind on blogging especially when there just doesn’t seem like enough time in the day to make a proper post. So, I just thought I’d make a quick entry of a little of what’s been going on on this end, so that no one thinks I fell off the edge of the earth. My mom had her cataract surgery on one eye today. She’s home now, and seems to be doing well. Even though I know that these types of surgeries are run-of-the-mill these days, they still make me nervous, and I am relieved that it’s over and done with. Once this eye heals, they’ll schedule surgery for her other eye.
In the meantime, I just finished a baby poncho and hat per my mom’s request. She’s gonna attend a baby party and asked me to knit one up for her. It’s for a little girl, so these are girly colors. It actually reminds me of easter eggs. Each side is slightly different, so I’ll attach a picture of both sides. The poncho could be a tad smaller for a baby, and the hat could be a tad bigger, ha! But I think it’s passable, and it was fun to make, anyway. Here’s one side on the left.
And here’s the other side on the right. As usual, just click onto the image for a larger view. I used BigBaby yarn by Muench Yarns. It’s a varigated chuncky yarn that I intermixed with a solid pastel pink. I also used pink Santa Ana by Needful Yarns for the fluffy edging.
Yesterday I received a ball of Manx Loaghtan wool yarn as a gift. That was such a nice surprise to receive, and now I need to figure out what to make out of it. The ball was accompanied by a bar of wool fat soap also made from the Manx Loghton sheep, and a few other items all packaged up in a shoebox, hee, hee. It’s so nice to get parcels in the mail.
I also got some other productive things done yesterday, so today feels nice and refreshing. I’m hoping spring will bring health and rejuvenation along with it. This year has brought into my life a lot of people in need of prayers. Sometimes I wish there was more that I could do than to just pray. But prayer is powerful. I should not underestimate that. I have to keep remembering that there is good in everything to those who love God.
Toodles for now!
