Yarn tasting – yum, yum
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: April 30, 2009
Traveled to Enchanted today for the spring yarn tasting.
If you’ve never been to one, get yourself ASAP to one! Any yarn shop NOT doing this hasn’t a clue what their customers are missing!!!
We must have “tasted” 30+ yarns this morning (besides a yummy brunch) and came away full.
Most were DK weight and as soft as [...]
Stitches South was fun!
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: April 27, 2009
Last Friday evening a friend, Gayla, and I headed for Atlanta with enough drinks in a cooler to last a month!
About 10 p.m. we decided to stop because we were both extremely tired. Back on the road again about 8ish a.m. Decided that since the Market at Stitches South didn’t open until 10 a.m. and [...]
Back to knitting
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: April 23, 2009
Had some surgery on my hand for “trigger finger” and am now just able to start knitting again! Hoo-Ray!
And the best thing is a friend and I are leaving tomorrow night for Stitches in Atlanta! And we’re hoping to hit the IKEA store Saturday a.m. and then to Stitches…..
Busy, busy time of the year

and to think we don’t have kids in school!
Todd and Amy arrived last Thursday. Todd is our technical support!!! He and Mark (altho’ Mark just made the beer runs!!) installed our new “BATV” (Big Ass TV) on the wall.
Todd hooked up all the stuff, cable, Direct TV (we switched from Dish to Direct), TIVO, and [...]
A very colorful colonoscopy
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: April 23, 2009
A very good friend of mine needed accompanied to her colonoscopy….she wanted to give the Dr. a colonoscopy he would remember! Yep, these are “artificial tattoes”….very festive, don’t you think?
When the Dr. met with me to discuss his findings, which there were none, I asked how is morning was….he replied “very spring like with lots [...]

While getting a new puppy is a really fun time, I have to admit that I am truly disappointed in our President. While campaigning he reassured “the world” the girls would have a dog from the Humane Society.
Yes, I know Bo is supposed to have been a gift from the Ted Kennedy family. And you [...]
WOW! Just 3 little stitches and the trigger finger is fixed…

Two weeks or so ago, I finally gave in and made an appointment because my “pointer” no longer wanted to cooperate with my brain waves. I was given and most excruciating shot I have ever endured in the hand. Made me feel sick to my stomach, burned like crazy, etc….yes, it’s worse than a spinal [...]
Sewing room…organized…and absolutely lovely and relaxing
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: April 3, 2009
I finally did it!!! Got tired of my “friends” saying “I’m going to come help you get that sewing room organized”. So I hired a professional organizer that has been doing organizing and cleaning for 17 years. Here they are just beginning to get started.
I will confess that when Nina (L), owner of the business, [...]
My dogs love each other

While sitting on the couch watching American Idol, I happened to look at my seatmates….Oliver had his leg around Sofi! Isn’t that cute! They are best buds when it comes to sleeping – probably because as soon as Oliver opens his eyes, Sofi is there to “clean” them! He growls and sounds so mean, but [...]
Get Stitches by RSS Reader
- Ah….life in the fast lane November 10, 2009At least that’s how I like to think of it! Things have been testy around the house since the bionic man got a new knee. Seems like we’ve had lots of repairmen, which ultimately leads to lots of barking. Derby, our found on the streets of Nashville dog, absolutely cannot help himself when it comes to [...]keepingyouinstitches
- A new and colorful knee! October 24, 2009Tuesday (and this is Saturday) Mark got a new knee; it’s getting more and more colorful! Came home Thursday and trotted him off to rehab on Friday morning. Coloring goes pretty much around the whole knee….wowee! Or maybe I should say owie! Staples come out Nov. 3 and yes, there will be documentation of that too; most [...]keepingyouinstitches
- Very technologically challenged….oh yes, I am October 18, 2009For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out how I was receiving voice mails on my cell phone when it was sitting right next to me! This has been going on for about a week now. Lo and behold, there’s a tiny button on the side of the iphone that if it gets moved, mutes [...]keepingyouinstitches
- Hubby getting new knee………finally! October 17, 2009OK, readers, it’s Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday is new knee day for hubby. He’s already commented a couple of times what a long week-end this will be; add the cold, crappy weather that is predicted, and it will be even longer. I’m trying to play cruise director in making plans that will keep him busy. So [...]keepingyouinstitches
- Generic vs. generic drugs October 13, 2009I’m so fortunate to have health insurance…..some would call it good health insurance. However, today I received a letter from the insurance company stating that the drug I take for acid reflux is now going to be re-classified and will have a high cost…oh, wait, “cost may increase” are the actual words. How absolutely dumb do [. […]keepingyouinstitches
