Wasn’t Veteran’s Day last Friday?

All my life I have been surrounded by music. My mother majored in music when she went to college, and I learned to appreciate classical music at an early age. While at the time I didn’t exactly love the years of piano lessons, or playing the clarinet for that matter, I do appreciate the opportunities that I had as a child.
As a result, I have quite the eclectic taste in music. My children probably think that I might be a bit deranged in the music department because I even like some of the stuff that they listen to, but then again I have caught them rocking out to the popular music that I grew up with. While they don’t exactly share my love for bagpipes, I’m glad that we agree on some things!
So that begs the question, what music feeds your soul and why?
The new Twist Collective is up! So many beautiful patterns. I can’t begin to decide what pattern I like best. Is it , with an oh so subtle stitch motif at the neckline. Or Calliope which just plain intrigues?
Then there is Bellevue. It looks like the perfect go to sweater for winter.
I could go on and on. What are your favourites? While I am waiting for a call back from the auto repair shop, I think that reading through the Twist Collective is much more delightful, than trying to deal with the reality of my poor car being hit twice since the middle of August.
Another Monday. I have been contemplating staring up my Monday Morning Meanderings again, but my writing mojo seems to be on hiatus. I’m not sure if anyone really reads this anyway.
It really isn’t about the readership. It’s about my corner for creativity. And I need to own that corner.
It’s Sunday and once again the weekend has been too fleeting.
Today we started puppy school. With one dog this would be a piece of cake, but integrating a puppy into an established pack makes things a little more challenging. Puppy training classes are more about training the owners. Trying to keep all of the human members of this family in line however, may prove to be a bit more challenging.
Meanwhile, I have started a pair of socks. The Nanny by Janine Le Cras. The pattern is pretty easy, and love the little button detail down the side. Pictures will be following soon!
Im back to working on our sock blanket again. Something about it getting dark so early makes me want to curl up on the couch and knit.
It is one of those crazy evenings. I think someone put a quarter into the puppy, she is running around like a maniac, alternating between tormenting the kittens and pestering the older dogs
There is a girl on the couch doing homework, the smell of fresh baked cookies and the sound of a cello being played
A quiet moment on the home front. For that I am thankful.
