Life's a Stitch

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

Sometimes it doesn't take much.

1. A gift of yarn from someone who knows that I don't need an inch more of the stuff. But C knew it would be appreciated:

And I'm putting it to good use on a Hitchhiker Scarf, a pattern that's easy on the wrists:

2. My son, safely returned from his five weeks of travels, most of his accomodation arranged through Couchsurfing.com.

3. A new vacuum cleaner. I don't know what it is about a new vacuum, definitely one of life's pleasures. Perhaps it's in comparison to the one we've used for years that really doesn't work. This one is an upright. I seem to switch back and forth between these two modes of suction. Uprights last longer for us. Maybe it's because C doesn't hurl it down the stairs as he does the canister variety.

4. Baby smiles. Rye at three months:

    All three of those would put me in a really good mood! Those baby cheeks are to die for. Just begging to be pinched!

    My fallopians hurt.
    BTW, Dysons are great – I’m sure mine sucks from the apartment below mine.

    Other people might think of something new and probably finding good stuffs to make it easy for them to clean their house. Newly made vacuum cleaners are totally improved and can serve us with longer years because these are made from good quality materials. My son also loves to be lifted that way and fly like superman.

    Life is like knitting indeed. There are times when you have to stop from it because you are in doubt what to design. Life is just like that. You have to pause when everything in you is being chaotic.
