Blessed

I am realizing today how utterly blessed I am. I was to have a meeting with Hospice at 2 p.m. It got cancelled. Rod is in cleveland today then off to Elyria for a meeting and won't be home till 7 p.m. I have Bible Study tonight. I have been working this week on getting the house back in order and cleaned up after Mandy and her fam being here. Cleaning, laundry, and ironing were not a priority when the babies were here!

So because the Hospice meeting was cancelled, I have a free afternoon. I have been working on Ellie's blanket and really want to get it done.

But what I mean by being blessed, is that I have great personal freedom. I love deciding what I want to get done each day, making a list, and seeing those things get done. I know it sounds simplistic, but as life is chaotic and always changing, it brings me peace to keep this aspect of my life simple.

So today, I am thanking God that He has given me my life and I will choose to enjoy my quiet house!

I also realized that I am a project knitter rather than a process knitter.  I am including pics of Ellie's blanket.  I love the pattern and it is fun to do, but I am ready to move on to something else.  I wish I could also work on another project as well, but Ellie is due in a month and I want to be able to take to her when she is born.  I have discoved that each pattern repeat takes over an hour so I have about 15 hours more to do.

So I guess while I am finishing up this baby blanket, I will dream of all my future projects and the yummy yarn I will be using.  I also need to finish Reece's "Eye Spy" quilt before Ellie comes and hoping to make Avery some American Girl doll clothes.  Yikes, I better get moving!
