New Projects

I have recently started something that I haven't done in years. Knitting. I started a project years ago and finished it last week. It is a surprise for my daughter's baby that will arrive in the winter. I have two more parts to finish and then it is off to sewing. I am also teaching my youngest child to knit at the same time. We are all making gifts for the baby who will be born all the way across the country.I look forward to being a grandmother but I wish they were closer. Knitting is like any other challenge, tricky at first but it is all coming back to me. It is relaxing and can be done while reading or watching TV. I am also working on some cross-stitching, future Christmas gifts.

I have also decided to learn some new recipes so I ordering cookbooks from the library to try some new things. I am always on the lookout for new experiences and things to learn. Hopefully the new recipes will make us all healthier too. Now if I only had time for all these things once school and work start again!
