Brooklyn Tweed's new Book!!!

I'm honored to say that I will be a proud owner of of the !st book this young man has published. You can see what I mean by clicking the blogger link on my page. It will take you to a wonderland of creative genius.

I have never been dedicated to a specific artist before, but everything this young man creates is just wonderful! I am in awe almost every time he posts something new. I am 47, soon to be 48. I just started knitting in 06, just before my father died in March. I taught myself with library time and a simple DVD.
I am as enamored with all things wool myself, as he is, but I hope one day to attain this young man's level of talent only after many years of serious study. By study, I mean, actually doing the knitting, not his years of study to get a degree in his craft.

I'm so happy he's a young man, this means that I'll probably die before he is 9/10's of the way through with his career. This translates to my never (as long as I live and am capable of doing so) running out of beautiful new challenges to tackle.

My favorite Author wass Ann McCaffrey and she started publishing in the year I was born (1961). I did not discover her until I was Active Duty and in the Air Force, in my early 20's. Now she has turned the reins over to her son, Donald, I believe. He is quite good and his style is very similar to his Mother's so it was an easy transition, but there was a moment of panic when I realized she was going to "retire".

When I find a something/one that is so good, I am dedicated and stick with it. Hey, if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it!

Now you can see why I am so glad that Jared is a young man. Probably my son's age or a little younger. (27 or so)

I look forward to many years of bliss in his talented mind's work.

TRANSFORMERS!!!!

I couldn't get Marcus into the picture, but we had a great time. ( this underline funtion won't quite, making me crazy, never had this problem b4)

The Action in this was so good that Marcus actually got motion sickness a little. Cute.

Little Blessings

I was blessed to see these on Chenoah's facebook page. I'm so happy that she is vigilant with the camera, these are just so beautiful. There is a whole sequence of them that I hope to add to my photos on facebook. They are just great of Jacques, my son, in case you don't know who these people are. Also my grandson Jude and Chenoah, my son's other half. Really great pics that they both took, it looks like. LOL

Time with TJ

After the weekend with Marcus I had TJ, that would be Tiylor Jacob, on Tuesday. He wasn't in a great mood that night so I waited till Friday evening and got one of the little doll baby.

He didn't let me get the really good one of the big smile, but there will be other days, Inshallah.

He grows so fast it makes me VERY aware of time passing. Allah, let me live a while longer to see them all make it through college, at the least, please. :-D

A Weekend with Marcus

The Saturday of June 6th weekend. We had so much fun. Robert took us to the CiCi's Pizza on Friday and the we went to Wal-Mard and didn't even crash until after midnight!! Then we had a good breakfast and hung out at the house until we could go see the movie. We wanted to see Transformers, but it's not out yet. So we saw A Nit at The Museum, #2. It was really funny and we both had a good time. We both also ate plenty of sugar and pop corn. Then we came home and had hotdogs and baked beans. We were FULL! As you can see, it was a full day. We don't get to see each other a lot so we cram a lot in all at the same time. :-D

The Secret

This is two strands of each , blue and gray Patons Classic Wool, of medium weight.  I used Noni pattern #114. The small one.

Well the felting is done, now all I need to do is get it lined.  A fairly easy process, but the time to do it is the trick.
