Last week I was at the Tangled Skein (my favorite knitting store) and ran into a gal that I knew I should know....we both looked at each other and she knew my name but I of course could not remember hers for the life of me. Anyway, she too had breast cancer 5 years ago so we stood in the store and yapped for quite a while. Sue was the inspiration for my second knitting project. She told me about the buttonhole bag that you felt much like my slippers. I did this guys without a class if you can believe it...AND knitted this bag in probably 3 hours tops.
How cute is that bag huh? This one is quite small but you can make them really any size that you want. And did I say that I did this without a class????? This bag is my third completed project (I knitted a second pair of slippers before leaving for Mexico) and am now working on yet another project that is to be a surprise to someone so I am not going to talk about it so there.
Anyway, yes the sisterhood. Both of these ladies are doing well after 5 years and neither were fortunate to have had the benefit of Herceptin. Stories like their's are so good to hear. Both of these ladies also are suffering from the same cognitive stuff that I am...so there Lenny.....it's not just me being me...haha.
An aside....the job interview last week went very well and they would have liked to have hired me but the mandatory training did not work out with my Herceptin infusions. They did tell me to call them when I am all done. I went on another interview for a job in StPeter, they too would have liked to have hired me but again could not make the hours work to incorporate my Herceptin infusions. So there you have the job updates. I continue to look and will find something I just know I will.
Someone should just damned hire me to knit and to take pictures so THERE.

Maybe you should hit some fun funky street fairs or art events this summer and sell pictures and your knitted stuff.
HEY fun and funky now how perfect does that sound????? Was that you Yessica. So Mikey and Jan I think I just need to travel with you guys to find fun and funky....David can join us when he is ready huh???
And Ryan....whatever....even totally awake you are a smart ass...LOL
nope, that wasn't me, but that person must be pretty smart like me. i think it's a great idea for you to find a place that will let you put photos, knitted stuff, etc. that would be right up your alley... what about coffee shops or even the co-op (they always have little stuff like that around... check it out!
well, maybe first i should give you a list of stuff to do for me so i don't have to pay millions for it. you could start by knitting me something nice to give to you for your birthday. hummmm... i think you would like one of those little bags with pink and ummmm, whatever goes with pink in it... smile!
Yeah fun and funky shows and then you could even start buying cheap stuff in Mexico to sell at your stands and pay for your travels with it. Now who do you think would come up with gypsy ideas like that?
