The Complete Library

The tangram bookshelves are filled. It's been fun watching Dad fill them with spheres that he has made - finding ways to place the spheres to look like eyes, brains, or something being held.
I tried to get a picture of both shelves together - a bit difficult without a panoramic lens. I am sure enjoying this beautiful room; now the challenge is that Amber and I can keep it clean.

A Tribute to My Mothers

I wanted to express my love and appreciation to my mother and my mother-in-law today. I don't know why I was blessed with two of the most wonderful angels, but I am so grateful. I have learned many values and traits from my mother, she is such an example to me. I know I would be a good woman if I had but a few of my mom's attributes. My husband is the wonderful man that he is because of his mother. As I have been a mother and parent, I think I have gained more of an appreciation of what my mother and mother-in-law have done for me.

Can you tell what this is?

I have been working on designing a dishcloth this week. I finished the design last night and then knitted it. My family has had a hard time telling what it is. Can you tell what it is? I do not draw, so this is a difficult thing to do. I have a second version which I will start knitting - we'll see if it's any easier to tell.

Tangram Bookshelves

After finishing the wonderful diagonal bookshelves for the library, my dad started some other fun tangram bookshelves.
Dad was looking forward to doing these because they were much more fun and challenging. Hmm, I wonder where I get this drive to knit and create. That reminds me, Mom is starting to knit some socks. This is really becoming fun!!

Daisy

I finished May's Monthly Dishcloth KAL.
Sariah hates the bobble; but I learned something new, so I think it's o.k. I do understand her point, I'm not real big on bobbles all over a sweater, but who knows maybe some day I'll make one and then like it.

Books in the Bookshelf

I have not done any book organizing for over a month. I've got about two or three cubicles to fill still and stacks and stacks of books to decide which will go into them. So, the books remain in piles on the floor in Bryce's room. I finally decided just to take a picture of the shelves with the books that are in there and post the picture.
I enjoyed organizing these books - I have the reading books organized by author, then most of the school books by subject. It was fun to change the slant of the books, too.

A Couple Cloths of the Week

I just finished a couple of dishcloths this week. This one I finished last night - Waves of Molokai Cloth.
This one I finished a few days ago - Waitress Slice of Pie.

Lydia - I have not forgotten about Maya's hat. I've misplaced the yarn and needles for it - but I'm searching.
