Good morning! How are you?

I am tired from the time change even though the time change was to my benefit. Sadly I am waking up at strange times and then having trouble going back to sleep. Also one of the many smoke alarms decided to chirp at 3:30 a.m. (grrr)

I have FIVE gnomes completed and would like to make two more. I had to take a knitting break yesterday due to hand and wrist pain as well as neck pain. Too much of a good thing ends up being a problem. I feel a lot better.

What are you working on this week?

    Your gnomes are adorable and they look so cute all lined up on the shelf! I hear ya when it comes to the hand, wrist and neck pain from too much of a good thing. I have to stay focused or it comes all too quickly. I'm glad you are feeling a lot better now.

    Your gnome horde is growing! (Take care of your hands and neck so you can knit more gnomes.)

    Why is it that smoke alarms always "go bad" in the middle of the night????

    Your gnomes are adorable.

    Your gnomes are just darling Karen! Some folks will be very happy to receive, I'm sure. Sorry about the wrist/hand/neck pain - hope that dissipates soon. Your smooke alarn mention reminds me that one was chirping at C&Ms the last time I was there...need to check that out!

    I love your gnomes! I'm tempted to make one too...
    I hope the pain goes away soon.

    I am having trouble sleeping also. I never usually have a problem with the time change. I hate when those smoke alarms chirp....usually overnight. Ours are hardwired, but have battery backup. We now use 10 year batteries which we had to change this Spring. Don't plan on being in this house 10 years from now. I love all those gnomes.

    The gnomes are delightful. Listening to your body and taking a break is so smart. I hope the rest of the gnomes fly off the needles.

Weekends

My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn .   Now I want to read it again. -Oh! I finished the socks!! So I wound up about six skeins of yarn and have three projects ready -started a cowl for me in fall colors (I hope to finish before fall ends) -enjoying Spirits of Joy .  Hannah graciously had a one day free sign up for her birthday at the end of September which I luckily saw on Twitter.  Than

Hopefulness

Image
  Good morning! This week has been busy with classes and routine doctor appointments. The arthritis doctor has a few tricks up her sleeve for some of my dry mouth issues (from my autoimmune disease - Sjorgren's Syndrome) that make me feel hopeful. What was the most important thing during that doctor visit is that I felt seen and heard. I am thankful for her and her team. Speaking of hopefulness, look at my daffodils sprouting up! Some of the daffodils are just starting and some already have a head start. I love winter, but I'm looking forward to spring. The crocuses seem to be taking their time this year, as well as the snowdrops (unless those pesky deer have eaten them, grr). Even though I am still knitting my baby blanket, I have gathered four skeins of potential socks to be and am dreaming of a wonderful sock frenzy cast on.

New Year

  Good morning! How are you? Happy New Year, may this year be full of blessings to all of you. Well now, I finally have an empty home after having our son, daughter in law, grandson and granddaughter here for six nights.  I am still experiencing fatigue and symptoms from the virus even though I am feeling better. It was a challenge hosting family while recovering. Also we babysat the kids overnight (!!) while my son and daughter in law went for little getaway. I am thankful and grateful my Aunt came over both days to help out with the granddaughter who never sleeps during the day. (snack-naps do not count!). They all left early in the morning, and while I was tired, sleep deprived and fatigued, I put away Christmas plus all the toys and doodads you need for babies. Today I am looking at a squeaky clean house. I am planning on reading books and falling asleep while doing so! My exercise routine is on hold as I slowly get better. Maybe next week I can muster up some energy for some yoga
