And you thought I ran away from home.

 I am still here!  The past few months have been so busy....doctor appts, library volunteering, book and bake sale and just normal everyday Susie Homemaker!



My knitting has taken a backseat but at times, just as well!  I was struggling to finish the back of my knitted project.  Muscle memory kept wanting to knit the front...hmmmm  Long story...that doesn't work well.  I had to rip out more rows than I could keep count of.  BUT...I finished all the knitting and just have to seam the shoulders and seams.  WOO HOO!  You can see some of my attempts starting this piece here.

Bob has had struggles with his cataract surgery.  He had both eyes done in the spring but ended up with scar tissues they had to use laser to remove. He finally got through that and has new glasses, which he can or doesn't have to use.  He is finally not complaining about not being able to see!  Good for him.

The past month he has had two moles removed...he previously had biopsy done on both last year but with everything else doing on he postponed getting them removed.  That occurred this month so he's good to go and relieved to have the buggers gone.  One was on his neck and the other under his ear on his cheek area.


So now we're semi back to normal!!  Thanksgiving is this week and Darrin and Kris are hosting as usual.  Dawn and Jeff go to his family (Dawn makes turkey/fixings to take) as they have for several years.  Jeff doesn't get much time with his sister/hubby so this is a nice time to be with them.  And before we know it, Christmas will be here!!!!  I am not ready...I do have some gifts for the great grands but otherwise...nothing...and I still have to get in the mood to get out decorations!  It will happen!  

Happy Thanksgiving to any readers I still have out there!!!!

  2. The sweater is beautiful. It is amazing how busy you can get with everyday life. That is good your husband's eye situations have been resolved. Moles gone - that a good thing!

  3. Yup, still here. I'm in the same boat as you know- no blog posts, no sewing, no creative ventures until... We are getting there. I have done a couple of small projects as needed for holiday swaps at guild, but I'm itching to spend time in the sewing room. Just need to get one and get it organized! The knitting is lovely. I've had one eye lasered as Bob did, and the next one is scheduled. But my cataract surgery was several years ago. PS- he "took care of" a couple of floaters while he was at it. But gave me a new one! I jumped when I thought I saw a bug run across the floor at the shoe store. Nope- it was my new floater! Ha.
