I am still fiddling around with starting some kind of project, in spite of the fact I have way too many already in progress.  I have been considering shawl patterns and had started the plum one and will probably continue it at some time…but remember I really didn’t want points?  I also have had this other yarn and realized I must be liking it because I have recently gotten two tops in this exact color..and it is more summery.  I wanted a semi-easy knit because I need relaxing right now. 

It is fun dreaming…and I know the started projects I have in my bag right now are not abandoned as some of my others may be destined to be.  I am still enjoying them all, but I do want something to wear that shows.  Everything in my bag is an easy knit and it’s nice to jump from one to another depending on what is going on at the moment. 

I want to add my condolences to the many, many I have seen in blogland for those who lost their lives or were injured or traumatized in any way yesterday Virginia Tech.  It brings back memories of watching in horror as Columbine was happening before our eyes.  My daughter’s very good friend was emailing constantly through that day with prayer requests for a good friend of hers who was missing … and then we found out  she was one of those killed.  It brought it closer to home for us to have an inside look that way.   May those affected yesterday find peace and comfort. 

On a much lighter note, the kids and I were all at my husband’s place of employment last week and I got the chance to get some pictures. This is 3 of the 4 plus a boyfriend. 

In the other room, big sis was playing keyboard and singing

and the wonder boy joins her (and yes…he is often two or three places at once!)

 

and he joined in with the singing

while Dad and I watched with tears in our eyes because he really plays with feeling…sis was singing a beautiful worship song and he played softly and sang along.  He does quite well although he has trouble pounding the foot pedal at the same time he is doing everything else just because of his size.  A musician he truly is at heart.
