Falling for Fall

Feeling Blessed.

Here I am with no one home but me. Sometimes I hate the sound of my own thoughts running through my head. I wish I could turn some of them off. In fact I wish I could turn most of the thoughts I am having right now off. Its hard to imagine that I was once so lost. That I really did not know my purpose and how alone I really was. I have such a different life than I thought I would have. I have a husband who really loves me and we are each others best friend. Sometimes I wonder why he loves me? I am not easy to live with ad I have a BA zillion quirks that would drive most people insane. none the less I am still grateful for him. He has changed my life and I cannot fathom what it would be like without him. I am feeling emotional today. I do not think he knows how much he means to me. I cannot find the correct words to ever express it. He is just one of those people I can honestly say " You have changed me in this life". he allows me to be myself, He trusts me, and I him. We both share the same the same faith and have found the difference it makes when you allow God to do his will. God has blessed be in ways I do not deserve sometimes. I look at what he has given me and the peace I now have that God is control and gives me everything I need. I am so glad I listened this time. I should have trusted God long ago. I was afraid that I done so many bad things that I was one of those unforgiven and my life would always be a chaotic mess. I was deceived. I was tricked into believing I could not change, But I have on so many levels, With my family, with my self and my husband. I am still growing and I am not yet done, but with a little faith I think I will be just fine.

Pattern Fun...

When at all possible I plan to buy Handmade items. If of course I do not make them myself. I am getting all my cute ideas ready for this up coming season, I have found adorable fleece hat patterns, My boys are getting those too keep warm this winter, I found another free pattern for Darling fleece pajama bags, I am going to make them and hide new pajamas in them for Christmas Eve. The neat thing is they are super easy and will whip in no time. If time permits and I can find the right pattern I thought of making cute handmade Christmas stockings. But again that is if time permits. I still am working the new baby items for my sisters little one that is due to arrive next month, I cannot wait. I also am busy working on the knotty knit bags I hope to have finished by the end of the month. I have tons of ideas and see so many cute as a button things, I only wish I had the time to devote to making them all. I should be able to finish most of my plans should I not asked again this year to make the costumes for the Christmas cantata. Keeping my fingers crossed. Until Next time.. Kimmie

I have been picking back up the needles again.. I need to take some classes so I can learn to do more than knit and purl. I have thought about posting an ad for some help, I have tried online tutorials and have the basic stitches down as well as casting on and off. I see so many things I dream about making... I look with admiration at all the amazing things I see and all the beautiful yarns and for me I learn best when being taught hands on with a guide. While I understand patterns and can make out what they mean it looks Greek to me when I sit down to try and knit them. I am extremely self critical and my longing for perfection in my work sets me back dramatically. its something I need to work on, I know.. Till Next Time Kimmie

Kimmie Still Here !!

Greetings...

Its been awhile yet again since my last post many moons ago. I have had my surgery and it was about the most painful thing I have ever had done to me in my life. I had my tonsils removed and my septum fixed and to top it all off my sinus cleaned and cleared out. I had had all this done in one setting. Its been a long recovery process but I am happy to report I feel better than ever. I can breathe and I have energy, I am so glad I had it done. I am very blessed to have so many people who took time out of their lives to be with me and check in on my recovery. I have to thank my Mom and Dad for always being there and my Awesome husband who took amazing care of me. He made sure I had everything I could have needed and more. My kids putting up with me and for being there to listen to me and deal with me when I was hurting. I have to give a special shout out to my adopted in laws for stepping in and caring for my children while I recovered. I love each of you more than I can ever tell you and I Thank you all so very much for everything you give to my life. My birthday was last month and I got a darling apron that my sister made for me. Its so cute and I love it, She is selling them at Glaus bakery in Salt Lake, If you get the chance stop by and pick one up, They are darling. I will have to ask for permission but maybe she will let post a few pictures and I can show off her talents. just noticed the time and I have a busy day planed. I am going to be singing in church for the first time since surgery and I feel out of practice but I have faith that God will not fail me and give my power back to my voice as I help lead praise. It will also be nice to see Bob and start learning our Christmas music as it is right around the corner. More to come soon.. Until next time.. Much love Kimmie

I know what your thinking..

Greetings, I know that many of you began to give up on me, I have not been on the computer for a long time to blog. I had so much happen between Nov and now. The trauma and Drama never ends or so it seems. As many of my readers know I have had some ear problems for the past year and half and have not really been feeling well, My immune system is tired. They now have me on some medicines that help me. I seem to be doing better other than when I fell and hurt my knee shortly after starting them.I have been behind on just about everything in my life. I have started playing catch up. I have much more to blog about and will do so at another time. I wanted to say Hi to family and friends and I hope to be blog happy soon.
Much Love and God Bless.
