Make it so!

.........but just WHO made them? Got to be Data......

not walking, but knitting........

the last time, thirteen years ago, the lovely old cat who left was helped away not by me: this was the first time I have ever done this, and it's brought another layer of 'something' on top of the grief. I can't put it into words except to say it's another layer of pain.

that last time, I used to go out walking a lot, and that helped a bit - now, however, circumstances are different, and I'm not able to do that; today I went on a mini 'frenzy' of finishing knitting in progress......got through three socks, two of which are the Amelie Mauresmo pair - I hope to try to get some pictures of them soon but for now I'm pleased to have them finished. And it's actually the first PAIR I have finished.

also had a good sort through my knitting needles, and tried to be ruthless, and sent away a big box full of needles and wool, to be knitted for charity things.........thanks to Lou of the Loving Hands Charity Knitting Group in Kelty for that: and a very special thank you to her as there is some Rainbow coloured wool in the package which I asked if she'd mind being made into cat blankets in Rainbow's memory: and not only did she not mind, she thought it was a lovely idea.

I couldn't have faced doing that myself right now, and hope to do some cat blankets when my head cleared a bit........

so, knitting rather than walking, but trying to keep putting one foot in front of the other. Like John Lennon said, "Whatever gets you through the night....." ...or day........

another wee step

a post about tennis........just in time to catch the second part of Henin and Sharapova this morning......yay Maria!

a start

my head wants to blog but my heart is just too sore - and numb at the same time......I suppose this is a start.........

thank you......

......so many posts and messages of help and support....thank you so very much, all of you....

more soon - I just needed to say how much these kind thoughts mean to me.....again, thank you all .......

broken heart - dear Rainbow is gone

awful day; had to have one of the cats put to sleep. My beautiful Rainbow......kidney failure, and the kind thing to do, but oh how it hurts......

she's the one who was partly in one of the pictures here a few weeks ago.

heart broken and sobbing my eyes out, though I know it was the right thing to do.

Beautiful stitchmarkers........

this is the 'Boobie' prize, and I am a very happy 'Boobie' :)


the middle ones - millefiore and rose quartz beads........

arrived in the mail today: my prize from Monica, on her blogiversary at "Chronicles of the Lazy Knitter"........absolutely gorgeous.......

many thanks, Monica, and long may you blog!
