see the Democratic Party reinvent itself and take back America! (read all 3 entries…)
Last Week 14 months ago

The Democratic National Convention was last week and I watched a bit of the coverage. I have fallen in love with Michelle Obama. Seriously, she’s fantastic. She seems so normal and well spoken. Love! Of course, her husband gave a fantastic speech as well. I am excited for the upcoming election. Who knows? Maybe after November rolls around I’ll be able to mark this complete. Wouldn’t that be something?



reorganize the kitchen
Little by little 18 months ago

I have been trying to keep things in order little by little. I reorganized the canned foods cupboard and that felt great! I’ve been shifting a few things here and there trying to find the right place for them and it’s going well. I don’t know that it will ever get to where I’d like it, but that’s okay. Any effort I put into the kitchen will make it better.



finish knitting my peacock feathers shawl
Peacock Feathers Shawl 23 months ago

I wrote an entry about this shawl on my blog that sums up my feelings quite nicely. Basically, I’ve been in love with this pattern for ages and I finally decided to bite the bullet and give it a go. I worked on it steadily for about a week, but now it’s been pushed aside. I had to rip back a few rows and I just lost a little of my momentum. Then, I felt determined to finish a pair of socks that should have been done ages ago. I’m almost done with them now. In fact, if I were to put in another 20 or so minutes of knitting, I could probably finish that sock. Oh well. I’m focusing on the shawl in this entry. So, this shawl will take me a long time to knit, even if I work on it consistently. It’s just a lot of stitches on a smallish needle with lace weight yarn. I hope to finish it some time next year. That sounds like a long time away, but I know I will knit many projects along the way.
