Welcome Carlin!

Kittens are so fun and cute and bad ass, hehe
Carlin, the new member of our family is making himself at home. With us and my knitting. :P

Good ideas come and go!

What is people's problem???

We start with an idea.
It might actually help, then it becomes a good idea...
Then we develop it into reality.....
Then we test it out....
OPPSSSS!!! It actually isn't better. Too bad!!!
It is now a BAD idea!
Time to let it go and think of something ELSE!

This follows a lot of areas of our lives. Including things we have grown up with. Sometimes it takes years before we learn that a good idea is actually harmful. Lets learn from that mistake and move on to something new!

Breast feeding is best! Formula is harmful. If you have no choice, THAT is different, but if you do have a choice... We have LEARNED that Breast is best and Formula can be very Harmful.
Same with Vaccines, same with some medications.
GMOs also!
GMO could help hunger could help the world. Great idea. Unfortunately it have been shown to be harmful. Lets LEARN from this and move on!
PLEASE!!!

Birthday Jacket

I tried to post this before. I guess I was too tired when I tried, it has been sitting in drafts for a while. So I thought I would re-post it new.


For my friends daughters 3rd birthday. I knitted up a sweater and Coif.
Her daughter loved it. She put it on her and Lily didn't act annoyed or try to take it off through her whole birthday party.
It is nice when a 3 year old can appreciate a nice homemade knitted sweater. :)))

POISONED Ack!

I was poisoned. Can you believe it? Well not on purpose. Was doing some yard work and turns out I am highly sensitive to a poisonous plant in the yard. We haven't lived in this house very long. So I had no clue about this plant.
I had one friend freak when she saw it. Since we have kids, she insisted we think about removing it. Well, we are. Now I have Rheumatoid Arthritis due to this plant. Ugh!!!!!

The doctor did say that it might get better in time since it was caused by this plant and not due to my body getting older. (Sorry, forgot how he explained it)

Ok, so the deal. I am very sensitive to pharmaceutical meds. So they are a no go for me. If anyone has natural remedies or advice. I would much appreciate it.

Scalloped

Ok. I am a knitter. I bet you didn't know that. Well I haven't been too active in that area of my life lately. So I have started to move a bit more forward onto bigger projects, a bit more to talk about worthy.

I have a close friend who is having a baby soon, so I made her this scalloped blanket. Pretty, huh? Well I think so.
I have done this pattern before some years back and this is that one. The yarn is a different material and it is just done in one color. Funny how something so simple can make all the difference in the world.

Cute kitty

I love my kitty cat! He was being exceptionally adorable the other day, so I thought I would share a pic.
We rescued him from certain death a few years ago, so these, to us, are very precious moments. :)

More cute!

I am kitty sitting for the weekend. These are the cutest kittens ever!

Just too cute.

Love this book, was way too cute. Well a kid growing up in a graveyard may not sound cute, but I like this book! :)

Current Book

I'm reading several books at the moment. I tend to have more than one book being read at a time. I see it like changing the channel. It can be a great show, but sometimes you are just in the mood for something else.

Out of the few books I have been going threw lately, I am finding one very compelling and worth my time.
So it is the current book that is on my "I have to share this" list.
So...
'Oh my! This is an eye opening book! You just have to check it out!'

Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It

Have you read it? What did you think about it? If you have't and choose to, let me know your thoughts. :)

Censorship

I am all for 'live and let live'.

People have rights. The right to choose, the right to freedom of speech. (...and many many more)

What I don't understand is how can anyone choose to back any form of stance that is trying to take away our rights as Americans? I never really talk about political type subjects. Yet, this one is just gnawing at me.

You might whole heartedly believe is something. That is fine, but when you cross the line and try to take away American FREEDOM of choice.. Freedom of speech??? HELLO!!!

YOU ARE GOING TOO FAR!!!
The USA is suppose to be a FREE country. Please don't ruin that!!!

(If you are wondering what brought on this rant, I have posted several links at the bottom of this post)
