Knit obsession

I took a knitting class a few months ago. I've stumbled upon such a wonderful way to let all the stress of my day fall away. I start a project and I'm in a zone.

If I'm hungry, I knit.

If I'm bored, I knit.

If I'm lonely, I knit.

If I'm angry or stressed, I knit ( a little faster and with more determination).

Time Flies...

I can't believe it's been over a year since I've written anything! One thing I've been meaning to change is not taking time out for myself everyday. Hopefully, this will start today :) Over the past year I've been cleaning out the clutter in my home. It's been a daunting task and it seems like I haven't made any progress although I know that I have. I've rented a storage unit, which I swore I wouldn't do. I've made monthly donations to the local Goodwill and I haven't bought a thing!
Now I plan to redecorate. Of course, the farmgirl in me has decorated my home in a country theme. Now the grownup in me wants a more sophisticated palette. I've painted everything a soothing green named "windchime." I'm going to accent everything in black. I found these gorgeous black silk curtains at Walmart. And I'm painting my kitchen cabinets in a black satin paint. I found sleek, satin nickel hardware at the Home Depot in a clearance bin. OMG they were only 5 cents for a pack of 6!!! My wonderful mother-in-law gave me 3 Thomas Kincaide prints that I can't wait to hang.
