Binding off 950 stitches

My Sweet Dominic. This kid can have a face of an angel!












Anthony's end of the year Party! Colors everywhere!






Anthony and Pop at the Father's Day Celebration. Tony was out of town and could not make it, so Pop came and it made Anthony VERY Proud!






In my world of Knitting: Is is possible to go blind binding off too many stitches? We will see. This process is taking forever.

What can a book do?

I am not a fast or efficient reader. I must read each and every work. Many times I reread details several times. But when I find a book I like I tend to read obsessively. So two nights ago I picked up my latest book, Friday Night Knit Club. It had taken me a while to read this one. I am not too thrilled about how quickly the changes from scene to scene happen, although now that I am three fourths thru the book I am use to it. I read several passages from the book and they hit home with me. It made me question if I can be a better me, mother, stepmother and wife. Can you be a better me and be a worse wife? I don't know how to be anything other that who/what I am. I have thought about this a lot. Can a fiction book truly change your outlook and deeply change who you are? Do you really want to change? I am hoping with the help of wonderful friend and a bunch of knitting together that I can come up with an answer.

We have field day today and I am two colors from completing the largest project I have ever started. I hope to submit the design for publication if it gets done and I get the pattern proof read. Oh yea I need to take pictures. I guess I will do that on my Friday field trip! Here is just a sample of yellow. Bright yellow.

Teeth

Dominic had two teeth pulled out yesterday. I don't know if I fully understand if it was necessary at this time since the roots had not even begun to dissolve. Do you see those roots! I got dizzy and thought I was going to throw up! What a brave boy. This morning he was telling Anthony that it did not hurt.

Today I am going to run errands for the PTO and my family, then I will return home to mow grass and then the boys are off to baseball practice. Busy, busy, busy. No Gray's Anatomy so I should be asleep early. Yea right, I am working on several deadlines. None of which are getting done now because I am blogging!!!

Knit on,
Maria

The new Mini original glazed Krispy Kreme.
I would be happy eating one of these a week for the rest of my life. Thank Goddess that there is not one near by. Actually I would love to have a KK near by. Someone please put a KK in Mooresville, NC. Please!





These are pics of my work in progress, Lil Maria's curtains. Aren't these just fun? Don't the colors scream teenage girl? I have had fun making them. All I need to put up the valance and add the final trim to the curtains. I have no one to help me hang them at the moment. I am going to ask Dena to stop by and help tomorrow. I doubt that the final product will photograph well since the lighting is not the best in her room. We shall see.

Miss me?

I will be writing tomorrow and I will have pictures. Oooooh!

My beautiful Monkey Socks that Kyla knit for me.
I don't have much to say today. Time to put needle to yarn and see what happens.
