Who doesn't enjoy a nice glass of wine? This hand knit cozy will keep your wine chilled while you enjoy a glass or two with a special someone. No need to make sure you have an ice bucket & ice!
This is knit with 100% wool yarn and then felted. Felted wool is a great insulator. This is how it keeps that Rose chilled for you without ice.
Coming soon to a store near you...actually, coming soon to my Etsy store!

a bunch of Wine Cozies
So, this is only part of the new batch of Wine Bottle Cozies I've finished. I think I will do some needlefelting on a few of them. Look for more pics after that is finished.

Happy New Year!
It's time to say good by to 2009...and I for one am happy to do so. I sincerely hope that 2010 is a better year for my family and all of yours!
My family has had some tough times this year. This spring my husband was diagnosed with cancer...had sucessful surgery and all is well. My dad went in for what was supposed to be a simple sugery before Thanksgiving and as a result now has severe Alziemers and may never go home. My brother was diagnosed with cancer and lost his battle a few short days before Christmas. A sister's cancer is worsening. In spite of all of this, we are so thankful to our Lord for all the blessings He has bestowed on us. We are still firm believers in the amazing & wondrous power of prayer. We find comfort in the fact that our brother is in a better place and is reunited with those that have passed over before him. We find comfort in the fact that we will see him again and he will no longer be in pain.

My Poor Forgotten Bloggie
Wow... I sure have neglected you, my little bloggie
I feel like a parent who abanded their child
Or one who has selected a favorite child
...and it wasn't you.
I've jumped on the bandwagon
a bandwagon called Facebook
I've been bedazzled by BeJeweled
...I'm just not that into you.
I've moved past this blog
to a place where I Twitter
and see lots of Tweets
oh wait...my Tweets are here too!
Please forgive my inattentiveness
I promise I'll change
Isn't the first step
Admitting my problem?

Look what I found on the side of the road for free yesterday!
While driving out in the country yesterday to pick up something from Craig's List, I saw a sign "free" and this behind it. I was running late so I thought I'd stop on the way home.
Kept my eyes peeled on the way back because I couldn't remember if where I saw it... and finally saw it ...
Pretty cool. It just fits inside my van - practically reaches from slider to slider. It has 12 of those little things the fit in the slots. They go in in alternate directions so you end up with 6 things on each of the 4 sides. I think this could work well to display some of my things.

Fortunately
Fortunately my daughter successfully completed her university class in Barcelona, Spain and is coming home!
Unfortunately she missed her pre-arranged & prepaid ride to the airport.
Fortunately she was able to call a cab.
Unfortunately she had to pay for the cab.
Fortunately she had some money.
Unfortunately she went to the wrong airline counter to check in.
Fortunately she found the right airline counter.
Unfortunately she was too late to catch her flight.
Fortunately the airline was able to book her on another flight.
Unfortunately she has to wait a whole day to fly out.
Fortunately she is able to stay 1 more night with the same lady she boarded with.
Unfortunately she needs a lot more money to pay for the additional charges to chang her ticket.
Fortunately she can call mom & dad.
Unfortunately this means mom needs to get to the bank this morning.
Fortunately mom & dad have an emergency fund and can get her the money.
Unfortunately our son has his final T-ball game at noon so we have to be ready to head over there after doing the banking…and we can’t find his glove.
Fortunately we called dad who found it in his truck.
Unfortunately we now have to drive across town to pick it up.
Fortunately we have time (barely) to do this.
Unfortunately my van won’t start!
Fortunately we have an extra vehicle.
Unfortunately I don’t have a key to that vehicle.
Fortunately my oldest daughter is living at home and has a vehicle that I can borrow.
Unfortunately this leaves her without a vehicle.
Fortunately we were able to quickly get our banking done and head over to pick up the t-ball glove. Dad said he’d leave the truck unlocked.
Unfortunately he left the keys in the door of the truck!
Fortunately the truck, keys and the glove are all still there.
Unfortunately I have to interrupt dad’s meeting to return his keys to him.
Fortunately we make it to the game in time.
Unfortunately I still have to change my daughter’s ticket home from Sunday to Monday.
Fortunately I can find my ticket information with the phone number to call to make changes.
Unfortunately it sounds like my call ended up in a foreign country.
Fortunately I’m pretty used to listening to accents.
Unfortunately it’s going to cost quite a bit to change this flight.
Fortunately the person at the other end suggests I simply cancel the flight and received a credit to be used later…and then book a completely new flight.
Unfortunately I can’t find a cheap ticket into our town. I end up buying one an hour’s drive away. Half the price.
Fortunately I think all the flight rescheduling is finished. I forward the flight confirmation to my daughter.
Unfortunately my daughter did not forward her new flight information to me so I have no idea when she’s supposed to be back in the States.
Fortunately she calls home Sunday night to let us know she’s at her cousin’s house. Yippie!
Unfortunately she can’t read the email with her next flight information.
Fortunately I can just email the information to her.
Unfortunately she doesn’t call me to let me know she’s made her flight. But, we figure no news is good news.
Fortunately I have time to get home from work and put together the Lasagna she requested for dinner.
Unfortunately it’s not finished before we have to head out of town to pick her up. Hope her dad remembers to turn the oven off!
Fortunately the trip to pick her up goes well. She arrives. All of her luggage arrives. We have a safe trip home. The lasagna is perfect and still warm.
Welcome home!
