Christmas Stocking
On Monday I finally forced myself to begin knitting a Christmas stocking for my daughter...have been putting it away for too long. I finished it today! I missed knitting oh so much and I had so much fun working on it! I used this pattern for all our stockings (sans decorative appliques). I used Lamb's Pride worsted wool/mohair blend in ruby red and white. oh and I added a pom pom too! Merry Christmas!

follow your heart
"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do."
"If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on."
"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything -- all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. ... Stay hungry. Stay foolish."
-- Steve Jobs--Stanford University commencement address, June 2005
“Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Until one is committed there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and endless plans. That the moment one definitely commits oneself then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never have otherwise occurred. A whole stream of events issue from the decision, raising in one’s favour all manner of unforeseen incidents, and meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.”
--Goethe
i keep reminding myself daily of the simplest truths...they are so easy to forget.

dreaming of spring
I am knitting again. My friend gave me some fabulous yarn for my birthday and I decided to start knitting ANYTHING, against all the odds (read: crying baby) so scarf it is... I usually have only half an hour each day, but I'm making progress nonetheless.
