Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer;
And attend to the voice of my supplications.
In the day of my trouble I will call upon You,
For You will answer me.

Psalm 86: 6-7

Hairs cut

It's summertime and that means time for shorter hair. Just got it cut today.

I've learned a new craft!

I have learned how to crochet edges on blankets/burp clothes for babies. I am sure this can be done on adult blankets too but it would take me forever. Anyway, the item that is to be crocheted first needs a border of little holes where the crochet hook and thread will go . I think this is called hemstitching. Here is an example:

I found a website that sells fabric that comes pre-hemstitched. http://www.ihemstitch.com/index.html

My first project is just a plain white felt blanket with green trim. Here are some pictures:

Swan Lake or circus?

I do not know how this is possible. If you want to see some amazing ballet/acrobatics click the link.

This and that

I went on a five mile run with my friend Carolyn through some trails in Fairfax. I had never been on these trails before and I had a lot of fun. We crossed through lots of woods and over a stream. We even managed to beat the rain!

Work has been boring. Not a lot to do as our program is coming to a close. Just a lot of job searching (internal) and wrapping up. Only 4 more months!

Time for some knitting then off to bed. Goodnight.

Peyton's Makeover

Peyton went to the groomers yesterday because she was looking a little scraggly. Now she is a cleaner version of her large, beautiful self. Let's hope she stays that way.

Can you tell the difference?


This means she is happy and she forgives me!
