A holiday cactus that “speaks” to me.

March 11th, 2010

This holidaycactus is older than me, it is at least 40 years old. My grandmother had it hanging in a window in her house for years. 10 years ago when she passed away I got the cactus. I had a hard time getting it to bloom, and tried several different tips without result. When my daughter was born in the middle of march 6 years ago the catus was in full bloom, and every march these 6 years it has bloomed. My daughter is named after my grandmother ( I still get tears in my eyes thinking of my grandmother, she is in my thoughts every single day!) and as crazy as it seems I enterpret the blooming as a message from my grandmother telling me she watches over us and is grateful that we named our daughter after her.

You might find this crazy and I dont really care if you think so because I am a little weird *lol*

First, get your mind out of the gutter people!!!

New tool!!!

March 7th, 2010

You really did not know you had wanted this before you tried it! This is a fantastic tool for putting those easy to tangle yarns on and it spins around as you knit without the yarn tangeling og twisting up on itself! I think this might just have become my new favorite tool! Now I cant even call the Zauberball yarn for Zaubercrap anymore because I have this great tool to keep the yarn in place and distribute it evenly without tangling!

It is called a garnfidus and I bought it at Geilsk.

the good things in the life of a dog…

How to get Zephyr/Spectra needles “unsticky”?

March 5th, 2010

Well I got a tip to try to wax them… I think they are to sticky to knit with!

Well, you probably wonder if it worked by now… and… no it did not work!

Complete waste of time!

Anyone who has a good tip for getting these needles to be a little less sticky?
