Monday's "Simple Woman's Daybook"
Outside my Window... Dragonflies buzzing, bees are busy looking for flowers, a light breeze, on a hot summer day.
I am thinking... About my knitting project. I had to go out and buy another roll of yarn, because one of my roll's got all knotted up and i could not get the knots out! laughing.... I am trying to figure out how one adds the next roll of yarn to ones knitting project.... hmmm need to find that out soon.
I am thankful for... A day with out pain. I am feeling wonderful at the moment!
From the kitchen... Chicken and portabello mushroom sausages, a salad of greens, and sweet potatoes.
I am creating... A new painting. I am going to try a new technique called glazing. I will show the first stages of my painting soon!
I am going... To relax a little before my sons end up being out of school for the summer.
I am wearing.. Shorts, and a teeshirt. It is in the 90s today.
I am reading... A Woman and her God by: Beth Moore
I am hoping... To work on another web page soon. One that will display my paintings so i can sell them on line.
I am hearing... My son on the phone talking way to loudly, my dog barking at a cat outside our window, and our other son playing music....My house is total chaos.... lol
Around the house... My rose bushes given to me for mothers day are blooming! I have three beautiful roses! Yayyyy
One of my favorite things...Is taking a long luxurious lavender scented bath at the end of the day.
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...Running back and forth between my sons schools. Both have received academic achievement awards in various subjects. The school have set up an award ceremonies at both schools.
Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you... My knitting project. This is the scarf I am trying to make. I am about half way through the first roll of yarn. The scarf takes four rolls of yarn. (I will be busy for sometime knitting this.) I decided to make the scarf using the pearl stitch. Next project I will practice using the knit stitch.

Like I said to you "Your knitting looks Beautiful! So tight, (better than what I am working on right now,)and the color is lovely!"
Also, in case you forget - you are awesome! - A mom, a wife, a painter, a baker, a 'maltese mama' and wonderful friend, a survivor of daily pain, a sweetheart and excellent example of a follower of Christ, and sooooo much more.
Love and hugs,
Tart

Hey girl,,,,,,, what a precious comment left on my blog..... thank you..... I feel that in the days we are living I am compeled to write about the grace that saved me... Not with works least any man should boast but by the power of the Holy Spirit we are brought into the kingdom of God...
Now knitting... When you finish on skein of thread and start another, always start at the beginning of a row.. never in the middle... Just pick up the new thread and begin to knit with it .. a few rows latter you can go back and tie the two together and tighten it up... that way the knot is in the seam or on the outside edge instead of in the middle of your work...
You are doing sooooooooooo good..
blessings to you today my sister...
hey...p.s. if you use all pearl stitich and then use all knit stitch it will look very much the same........ but if you use one knit stitch row and then one pearl stitch row you will have stocking stitch.... and it will look very nice .. and one side will be smooth and the other side will look like the scarf you now have.... :) just a short lesson..
We really like your new look here on your blog and thank you for sharing with us a little of how you felt and what you were doing today, lets us get to know you just a little bit more and it is a pleasure to know you.
