It’s after 10 pm and I have done absolutely nothing today except putter around on my laptop, watch streaming video and try not to nap. The headache I’ve been battling for three days is finally gone and I hope to be able to get some sleep tonight.
The grandkids have all been sick but are on the mend. They’ll stay home tomorrow to be on the safe side and Brad will probably take them all lunch after church.
I’m going to continue to rest and hang out in my recliner for the rest of the weekend. I might be able to get some reading done if the headache stays at bay. I got the Prayer Shawl out of time out and will see about making progress on that. It’s an easy project and my hands need a break from the size 0 sock needles anyway!
I am a Native Texan, Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother, Catholic Convert residing in rural North East Texas since 1975 when I married my husband and this small town girl became a country girl.
I was taught to knit at the age of ten and discovered the writings of Elizabeth Zimmerman shortly after I married. I learned to ‘unvent’ things as I went along, to create my own patterns and generally have a blast with yarn and needles.
In the mid 1980’s I explored the idea of spinning my own yarn and eventually got interested in weaving on a floor loom. I have three spinning wheels and a 24″ four-shaft Herald floor loom that I purchased from a friend in the 1990’s.
I also enjoy sewing, tatting and making rosaries. I have a work room that contains my fiber, yarn, floor loom, sewing machines, serger and rosary making supplies. I have a spinning corner in a bedroom next to my work room, both with north windows looking toward the creek.
