The ham

Orig­i­nally uploaded by MsRikki

My son is the hap­pi­est, sil­li­est kid that I know. He knows noth­ing about being cool, or hard or being a tough guy. So why, now that he’s 8, does he assume this pose when I point the cam­era at him?

He couldn’t be hard if you wrote it on him.

I think he’ll have a great career in Hol­ly­wood.

Pure Church: What A Hus­band Must Be.

THIS is what Chris­t­ian women should be look­ing for in a hus­band.  And we should NOT set­tle. I won’t. Which is prob­a­bly why I’m not mar­ried. LOL

Pretty in Pink

Orig­i­nally uploaded by MsRikki

Fin­ished the sec­ond wash­cloth today. This pat­tern, Grandmother’s Favorite, was very easy. I started it this morn­ing, and fin­ished it this evening. I really love the col­ors (Peaches & Creme Pink Lilacs). I almost hate to give it away. BUT.….I did go to Wal­mart and I picked up more Peaches & Creme.….so I’ll be alright.

Knit­ting these cloths is addict­ing! Such a quick project. Instant Grat­i­fi­ca­tion. I’m all for that. There are so many pat­terns, with vary­ing dif­fi­culty. It’s a great way to learn a new stitch with­out com­mit­ting to a big project.

The next one I make will be a face­cloth for myself. I’m not used to this knit­ting for other peo­ple. I feel deprived.

Obama On His Support For Infanticide: ‘I WILL NOT YIELD’

La Shawn Barber’s Cor­ner » Obama On His Sup­port For Infan­ti­cide: ‘I WILL NOT YIELD’.

Even IF I agreed with his naive poli­cies, this would stop me from vot­ing for Barry.  Only a sadis­tic fool would back this pro­ce­dure and work to keep it legal.

Feather & Fan: FINISHED

Orig­i­nally uploaded by MsRikki

This is my first cloth. Started it at lunchtime while I was at work today and fin­ished it dur­ing the Steeler game this evening. It was easy..AND I learned a new pat­tern.

The ends need woven in, and I’ll need to wash it before I give it to my coworker. She’s hav­ing a baby. I’m going to buy some bath stuff for the baby and include this cloth, and pos­si­bly another one, since they’re so easy to make.

Gotta get back to it…

First Real Project: ALL FINISHED!!

Orig­i­nally uploaded by MsRikki

This is my first real, COMPLETED, knit­ting project. I knit­ted this bag and felted it…OVER A YEAR AGO. I love it. So why haven’t I made any­thing else, other than a scarf for my mom? I DON’T KNOW! 

I read about knit­ting and buy yarn more than I actu­ally knit. I love knitting..I need to just DO it.

So start­ing tomor­row, I’m start­ing a quick and easy project: a dish­cloth. Pic­tures will be forth­com­ing.

This is my cur­rent favorite pic­ture of myself. This doesn’t hap­pen often, but every once in a while, I take one that I really like. So..if you see me on a site that requires an avatar…this will most likely be it..until I take another favorite pic­ture. lol

Why am I blog­ging with pic­tures now? Cuz Flickr makes it easy..and I’m test­ing out the fea­ture!

SO not a baby anymore.

Memo­r­ial Field Closeup

Ran­dom shot of my boy taken in June. It’s usu­ally when I take pho­tos like this that I can see just how quickly he’s matur­ing. No more baby face. *sigh* I miss my baby..but I’m so amazed at the young man he’s becom­ing. God is TRULY good..cuz it sure didn’t hap­pen with­out Him.

Question for Obama: Who do you say Jesus is?

Read the arti­cle here.

Lashawn makes a good point and I whole­heart­edly agree: “Must our pres­i­dent be a Chris­t­ian? In my opin­ion, no. I’d vote for an athe­ist, as long as he’s socially con­ser­v­a­tive.

But I have BIG prob­lems with some­one who pro­fesses Christ and tries to appeal to Chris­tians through “faith,” when his words and deeds indi­cate he is NOT a Chris­t­ian. ”
