Tree Sweaters

The local news station reported this segment on a lady knitting sweaters for trees!  I need to go see this!!

This link is the news story about the artist (Suzanne Tidwell) – there is a short annoying commercial at the beginning, but the story is so worth watching if you are a knitter.  Click HERE

This next video is just tree sweaters set to beautiful music….Nice!

Great Stats! What’s Going On?

Hi All and welcome to my blog.

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw how many hits my blog got on Feb. 5 and Feb. 6. Yowza!

Someone added my link to knitting paradise site. Thanks.

5,942 hits and 11,494 clicks on Feb. 6…..

I have been adding free patterns to my blog for 5 years now. Whenever I see a free pattern that is exceptional…I add it to my list …right up there at the top tab “Patterns”.  I get between 60 to 300 hits most days . . . but this was Great!!

Thanks for looking – I Love It!

I do need to check some of the links, I do that occasionally, but haven’t for the last year. We had a horrible family tragedy that left us all in alot of pain. This happened after I lost my Dad (my daughter lost her twin boys), so it was devastating. It takes awhile to get over this and I hope you will be patient – I haven’t been able to concentrate on knitting like I use to – and to blog something just seems unimportant .

I got so happy when I saw how many people were visiting my little blog.

GE Salmon Swims Closer to Your Dinner Table

GE Salmon Swims Closer to Your Dinner Table.

DEMAND THE RIGHT TO KNOW !!!

Each and Every one of us has the right to know what is in our food.

This fall, the Center for Food Safety introduced a petition to the FDA, demanding labeling of GE (Genetically Engineered) Ingredients.

HERE is what you can do:

Visit the justlabelit.org website and sign on, or submit your comment to the FDA

It takes two minutes.

Now is the time,

or we lose our right to choose
