Crazy spring

I have not been inspired to post anything to the blog.  I think I would like to change the name because I am interested in more than quilting these days.  I taught myself to knit more than scarves last year and have tackled socks, hats and mittens.  I have knitted socks for Fred, Nicole and myself so far and they did turn out ok.  I don't think I will bother again unless I can afford the good sock yarn and it is not wool because it makes me itchy.  I have made hats for Fred, Mike and Nicole.  I have made several hats for Koats for Kids and mittens as well.  Knitting for Koats for Kids is a great project for me for sitting in front of the tv and for taking along to appointments.

I finally finished my last customer quilt the week before last.  Thank goodness.  I cannot take that pressure and responsibility anymore.  I guess it has to do with everything that has been happening I. My life the past few years.

My mother is finally in a temporary personal care home and she hates it.  She is sharing a room right now but will eventually be moving to another home when a space becomes available.  I hope it is soon because I am sick of her games and I hope she will be happier having her own private space.  She is not the easiest woman to deal with.

The weather has turned and we have had below zero nights these past few days.  I am hoping the rhubarb, hollyhock and shallots I have planted survive.  They are covered up.

I have to come up with a new name for my blog and try and figure out how to make the changes.

Happy quilting
