Positivity Challenge: Day 4

Oops, I appear to have skipped a day!  I'll pick up where I left off with day 4, so here are my three positives for today:

1. Making new friends with the Jamberry Nails ladies at the consignment sale I'm working through next Thursday.  They kept me awake during a slow afternoon!
2. Mid-afternoon naps.  They are awesome.
3. A few hours relaxing on the dock at Lake Lanier with my husband, my sister, and my brother-in-law.  We saw lots of fish and a few ducks.

Positivity Challenge: Day 3

For the third day of the Positivity Challenge, and my 3 positives for the day are:

1. Love and support from friends and family
2. An upcoming beach vacation to look forward to!
3. Getting my crafty time in with both the library stitch group and the IHOP stitch group in the same day

Positivity Challenge: Day 2

It's day two of the Positivity Challenge, and today my 3 positive incidents are:

1. Free yoga classes through our medical insurance
2. A job interview (more to come on that later...)
3. Lunch date with my wonderful husband

Positivity Challenge: Day 1

I accept the Positivity Challenge from my mother! The challenge is to write 3 positive incidents a day for 5 days and to challenge 3 people to do the same.

1. My Tastefully Simple business with its awesome food and flexible schedule
2. Dave's job, which he enjoys (even if he doesn't like getting up in the morning)
3. Our home--while we don't own it, it's a lot more than some families have

I challenge Heather, Kristine, and Allison... how about some blog posts? ;-)

Small Project Progress

My Christmas cross stitch project is coming along nicely, albeit slowly compared to my stitching friends.  I'm also working on a knit baby set, which I'll photograph when it's done.  Speaking of done, I can't believe I forgot to post my little bunny boy cross stitch when I finished him in April!

Finished the week after Easter... guess he's ready for next year!

New Project

I started a new cross stitch pattern at IHOP stitch night this past week. I haven't been doing much knitting or stitching lately, so it was good to pick up a small project again! 

More Girly Knits

A few days ago, I finished a pink scarf for the young lady I'm sponsoring for her Confirmation tomorrow night.  It's her favorite color, and I wanted her to have something pretty and useful that would also remind her of the past six months we've been meeting with the RCIA group to prepare for the Easter Vigil mass tomorrow night.  The scarf turned out so nicely and I had so much fun with the checkerboard pattern that I went out and bought a skein of the same yarn in a dark grey to make one for myself for next winter!

Checkerboard Scarf in Lion Brand: Heartland "Denali"

Today I donated some Tastefully Simple items and a knit baby set for an Easter auction to benefit families of children battling cancer.  I knit the set a while ago, but it hadn't found a home yet.  It made my day when the lady collecting the donations told me it was gorgeous and I could charge at least $25 if I sold it on Etsy!
