[Nfb-krafters-korner] knitting

[Henrietta Brewer]

Oh, Beckie, A hug feels so good right now. You have taken on a big project for a newby. But i know you, You'll come out like a pro.  

I have spent the weekend laughing at myself. Our Son is gone on Vacation. gary has many challenges and does what he can. When he is gone i surely notice. But when I do his jobs I feel like I do a better job.

yesterday, I thought the house was all neat and in order. I sat down to enjoy my labors and my Husband said, Do you know there is a sock on the couch? God, or my Husband is always there to let me know that I am a long way from perfection. But I sure enjoy my efforts. I am in clean and sort and use or loose mode. So I am rearranging all the time. Sometimes my ideas bring pleasant comments from others and sometimes things i think are so neat go unnoticed. Like my touchy bowl. lol I put the clay bowl I made with Linda on a table near a matching wall. It was empty so I put things that are fun to hold or touch. Things like a square glass cube, a plastic oval thing with a prayer inside, a wooden ball from pot poruea and a knitted cross. Everyone ask why the junk in the bowl but no one gets it. Well, I do. lol 

Just keep working and doing your best. She will love it.
