HOPELESSLY ADDICTED .....

..... to the idea of designing my own wears. I should not admit to this but I will .... instead of working on my outline today so that I could meet my goal of completion before Kid 1 and Kid 2 return to school, I, yes I, sauntered into the yarn shop today and walked out with my nappy head high, twists blowing in the wind, shopping bag in hand, trailed by Kid 1 and Kid 2 with two skeins of 100% wool in the prettiest purple you've ever seen and a set of bamboo size tens so I can practice this purl stitch. You know me .... ain' no purl stitch gonna get me down.

And guess what? Got 10 rows of Purl, Purl, Purl down pat. I'm too psyched. And admittedly addicted to knitting. But now I wonder, what's it gonna be: books or yarn? Poor Spouse.

Outline tonight, I swear it!

Be Good.

Now That's Worth Writing Down

When we let Spirit lead us, it is impossible to know where we are being lead. All we know, all we can believe, all we can hope is that we are going home. That wherever Spirit takes us is where we live.....Alice Walker, Absolute Trust in the Goodness of the Earth.
