Back in stride...

I am happy to say that I have picked up my projects again and even started a quilting project. With the hat that I was stuck on, I still could not bring myself to count the stitches so I had my mom do it for me. I will post a picture of it soon.

On another note, I was very sad to learn that my new favorite yarn store went out of business. So now I have to either drive to Burbank or all the way to the SouthEast Long Beach Marina to find some great yarn. Or I can just order it off of the internet I suppose...

Good News!!

I was able to find a copy of the hat pattern on Ravelry. I was oh so happy about that. Now I just have to make myself sit down and begin working on it again.

Big News! California is on fire. AGAIN!! It has been REALLY bad this time. There were like 3 fires going at the same time so, of course, the L.A. basin has been covered by a thick layer of smoke for the last few weeks. The major problem with that is (for me) that most of my immediate family is in danger of having their homes burn down because the all live directly in the path of the largest of the fires. I spoke with two of my aunts and they were out feeding the fire fighters and deputy sherrifs.

It is Labor Day weekend and mi madre y yo decided to drive to Santa Barbara for a quick visit to other family members. It is so lovely here!! Wind blowing like crazy, cool not 90 degree weather like down in L.A.

There was something else that I wanted to type but I forgot....see ya.
