Well, it's been a while since I've updated, so I have to tell ya what I have learned to do, and show you some pictures!! :)
I have taken up a new hobby...and I'm telling you, I AM LOVING IT!!!
LOOM KNITTING!! Here's what I've been doing.....
Most of my work has been done on a round loom; but I just started to learn to use a rectangular loom, as well. The round loom, so far, is what I use to make stocking caps with; whereas the rectangular one I use to make scarves. You can use a round loom to make scarves, but truthfully, the rectangular one is much nicer for scarves, or table runners, etc.
So here is some of my work. Tell me what you think!!
This last one is a chemo cap that I have made for my Mom. Since she has lost her hair because of Chemo / Radiation, her head gets cold during the night. So this cap I made out of a very soft spun yarn that feels very warm and cozy to the touch! She Loves It!!! She said it feels so good against her skin! I'm so glad she liked it.
Anyway, that's what I've been doing with my down time!
As far as Mom is concerned, she is still hanging in there. The Lord has really worked in our relationship; and continues to do so. I can honestly say that we are on the road to reconciliation and recovery! I'm so glad! Nothing feels worse than to know your Mom is dying, and you are on the outs with each other! So the Lord is blessing this time that we have left, and we are making the best of it. Thank you Jesus!
The Cleaning Business has been very busy lately!! I've picked up 4 one-time cleaning jobs; and 2 regular customers, with the possibility of another one coming -- PLUS all my regular customers!!!! My calendar for November is swamped! Very good timing, too! Now I just hope that it keeps up and helps us get through Xmas financially!
The weather has been PERFECT here lately!!! We've been seeing temps upwards of 60's and 70's!!! It's been so BEAUTIFUL!!! I love this time of year; especially when we have a full Harvest Moon!! Oh man, that is just breathtaking!
Okay, so that's all that's happening with me. So what's new with you????
Nite Everyone!

I LOVE the fruit of your knitting!! We actually have looms around here, but I haven't taken the time to learn how to do it. Maybe I need to be putting it on my "to do" list! Praising GOD for the healing of your relationship with your Mom. What beauty in a time of ashes! Will be praying for you both in the coming months. (((
