gather up the cheers and knit them into a little more gumption (read all 7 entries…)

Creatively wasting time...  — 8 months ago

and gathering up cheers in order to knit them into a little more gumption. I REALLY COULD USE A LITTLE MORE GUMPTION TODAY.

These 49 people have sent me cheers and comments over the past week or so. Some are regular correspondents, and some I don’t know too much about. It is kind of exhausting trying to keep up with it all. But it’s also fun and interesting. Thank you to all my correspondents.

Now where did I put those knitting needles?

Cute idea!

Very quilty!

:) Thank-you...

It is quilty, and I love quilts, but I’m not good at sewing.

Also, ru~, who is very creative and originally inspired this goal, does a lot of quilty things with her pictures in her posts, so I was thinking of her too.

I tend to

agree with Russell, as he said: “The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.” ;)

Nonetheless, I hope you find the missing gumption soon (it might be somewhere in a stack of random papers).

I love the quote.

I was hoping to find the missing gumption first in order to help me tackle the dreaded stacks of random papers. But, you’re probably right. That’s probably where I will find my missing gumption.

Knitting needles

(waves a pair above my head)

Here’s a pair! Here’s a pair!

The collage is AWESOME, btw. I recognize 19 (myself included, lol) who I can recognize by username. You are amazing. (:

:) Thanks for the knitting needles and the encouragement...

although now I may need knitting lessons. My grandmother was always trying to teach me when I was a kid, but I seem to be knitting-impaired.

Are you knitting baby clothes?

LauralyBeautiful /Something beautiful this way comes

Well, I can

teach you! I’ve taught at least 3 people! I always found knitting to be very easy. I learned after watching my mom for about 15 minutes. After that I taught myself. But I never was able to pick up crochet, though I did try. It just wasn’t my thing, so maybe knitting isn’t yours. (:

I wanted to knit baby clothes, but it never happened. I ended up getting so many hand-me-down outfits I didn’t need to anyway! (Can you believe my mom kept almost every outfit from when I was a baby?! Plus the clothes from my friend! She’s pregnant with her second child right now and due in January, so I’ll be returning her newborn clothes to her soon.)

To Cool

I have a program I found on the internet for my mac that makes posters of snapshots. I only did one but have never had it printed.

I love the artwork!

As for knitting it hurts my hands. :(
so I never really got into it. I love to crochet for some reason I can do that for a while without to much problem.

The artwork...

looks a little bit like your avatar, which I like very much. :)

I can’t really knit or crochet. I haven’t done either one in years and years, and I don’t think it’s like riding a bike. I would have to learn all over again.

FinallyWilling is facing reality

Yes

I know what you mean. I know single and double crochet and that is about it.

Yes it does look like my avatar. Maybe we have started something here. ;)

If I don’t see you and I probably won’t before ThanksGiving Have a great day!

New Isabella Clearing the deck...er, the kitchen counter, that is...

Thank-you. :)

I hope you and your husband have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. Does he have some time off?

FinallyWilling is facing reality

Yes

Last night was his last night until Monday night. :)
