Life's a Stitch

And more recently life’s a creative adventure with some travel thrown in.

All year I had been saving a quote on which I was going to base my Valentine’s Day post. I heard it on the radio in the middle of the night and was so touched I scribbled it on a scrap of paper. It has surfaced from time to time in my pile of task oriented clutter and I’ve made a conscious decision not to chuck it. Do you think I could find it? No way. I’ve searched the wonderful internet to no avail, so I guess I’ll have to base this on my foggy recollection of Winston Churchill’s marriage proposal to Clementine. He said something like: Are you fool enough to love me, mad enough to stay with me and spend the rest of your life with me? In the middle of the night that sounded so romantic coming from the man who looked like a bull dog. He really had a way with words.

The runner up for romance is the line from Cole Porter’s in the Still of the Night – "Are you my life to be, that dream come true?" Oh sniff, sniff, after seeing DeLovely I can’t hear that song without tears. These hormones are something else.

I haven’t totally given up on my Autumn Silk Cardigan, the romantic lacy sweater is coming along slowly but surely. I have dropped all the stitches off the needles twice and that put a crimp on my motivation. So, here is where I am:

    The peachy pink Koigu scarf is so cheerful and lovely. I went to Los Vegas for 4 days and got to see Elton John courtesy of a client of Tony’s. Elton John is sooooo talented but defintely very bizarre. He has the best musicians in the business in his band. Davey Johnstone is awesome as a guitarist. WOW!!
    The bad news is that Elton’s stage show had the tackiest stage props I have ever seen. We got to do a few nice dinners and lunches out when Tony wasn’t on the phone doing work. We stayed at the Venetian again. Love, Rosie
