My buddy V is a great knitter. I've wanted to knit forever, tried it a couple of years ago, but the timing was off, decided to try it again, bought some soft, fuzzy yarn, fired up my computer, went to you tube, found a left handed knitting tutorial. Well, it looks so easy, NOT! Decided I had the wrong kind of yarn, so I was off to Wally World for some plain, generic non fuzzy yarn and bigger needles, by the time I got back I was too tired to knit.
V has already told me she would knit my scarves if I can't figure it out. I used to be a great crafter, and I crocheted afghans in my twenties, but duh, that was years and years ago... Surely I can do this, surely I can..
Stella is trying to get her groove back here, after being gone, I have to get those Christmas recipes published - V gave me a new one today for Snowy Trail Mix to add to the collection. And Lindsay found a recipe for an Orange Cranberry Cheesecake, she wants me to try for Christmas.
Those Cranberry Bliss Bars were so good, it makes us want to try other orange/cranberry things as well. Scones and muffins sound good, too.
And speaking of food, do you know that I ate my entire birthday cake over the course of the week? I did, except for one last piece! And I wish I had ate that! Dilly is a great little baker, and I hadn't had homemade German Chocolate Cake for years. And what did the scales say when I got home? Oh yeah, Miss Piggy here gained 3 lbs. And let me tell you, it was worth every friggin' pound. So now I'm back on that horrid Atkins program, which I detest with a purple passion. Oh well, it was good while it lasted...
