Look what Mary brought over for my birthday. A lovely skein of Opal, the cutest decorated pail or do we call it a box? A beautiful birthday card she made. Mary is so into stamping now…from quilting to knitting to stamping, she’s done it all. This is my knitting buddy that I go to knitting retreat with each year at Fort Worden. Thank you Mary…you rock!
Where have I been for the past eight days. Here, but each evening has seen me off to either a soccer or football game. Monday was the hardest for me with J gone. I went to work and broke down for a good cry. I’m MUCH better now. This is my therapy to get over the grief of my first child being away at college (and he’s not missing home too much, either). He needs a nice little afghan for his bed. A mindless crochet that has left my knitting sitting on the sideline looking on. Just less than two weeks, the girls and I will be up to have dinner, do some shopping and visit J. Fingers crossed I have the afghan done to take with me. I should be over my sadness by then.
My oldest turns 5 on Tuesday and I’m overwhelmed that she is ALREADY 5 — I’m so not ready for her going off to college! The afghan is a great idea and I’m sure it will be appreciated!
Great looking afghan so far! ((hugs)), I’ll be facing it in another year myself!
Oh I love the colors!!! Good job.
I do love the blanket you are making your Son!
I am still crying over mine going off to college two months ago.
We have been too a few football games to see him play in the band.
This weekend is Family weekend/ football game there, so I am very excited!
(even if he is still not missing us much)
