Purls and Lace

Just some thoughts on my day, my knitting, and life in general

Heredity bites me in the .......


Okay, so I know that I have a really weird strange sense of humor, and it has become more and more apparent as my children grow up that they have inherited that trait. 

This is the shopping list my oldest boy left 
me the other night....


Been a Long Time, been a long time, a lonely, lonely time....

It seems like forever since I last posted, been through a lot of personal turmoil, the most tragic being the passing of my brother.  He was a very young 53 years old.  I miss him terribly.  This drawing was done by his wife's sister.   I love this drawing.  

It's hard to lose someone so young, and it sure makes you question your own mortality.  One of the things I did come to realize with his passing was that I do not have one picture of him and me together as adults.  In fact, I don't believe that I have any pictures of me with my own family since I was about 12 years old.  Pretty odd, or rather telling depending on how you look at it.


I have been keeping myself busy as I go through this grieving by knitting.  I completed three Baby Surprise Sweaters for my two new nieces and one new nephew.  Excuse the pictures taken in the car on the way to Father's Day, but I knew it I didn't take the pictures then I wouldn't get them taken at all.
