<br />
Yesterday our 2nd grader's class put on a musical for all the parents it was so adorable had to share:)<br />
The girls are getting over viruses and ear infections the weather has been strange.<br />
I cannot knit still to painful and awkward so just enjoy time with my family.<br />
On the health situation for me we are having to make changes rapidly.<br />
I started chemo meds last week but the pills gave me mouth sores so their going to teach us how to do injections since my hands and wrists are really bad hubby will be doing them for me once a week we are hoping it will help me get more mobility back and less pain.<br />
If we can slow down or supress my immune systems attack on my joints then I can be more active but it takes time and finding the right medicine to achieve this and so we hope this medicine will be a good fit.<br />
Hoping everyone is well and missing you all.Darcys Knotty Knitterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00022869069300030504noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744504185638565237.post-82596320256167834372012-01-30T22:06:00.000-08:002012-01-30T22:06:51.432-08:00Living With Grace:)My friend Grace has taught me this she has her struggles but is always there sending you her love and encouragement and my girls call her grandma Grace:)<br />
They love to send her pictures they draw and their favorite dolls are ones she has knit them.<br />
Alora cannot sleep without her bunny which was the first knitted stufftie that Grace sent her.<br />
I need to have my hubby take a picture of all of the toys she has lovingly knit them over the years and she has sent me care packages threw every difficult health issue I have faced with shawls and scarfs to wrap me up in a hug from her & Tom her loving hubby and Masterblocker:)<br />
I have been recently diagnosed with chronic psoriatic arthritis and find out tomorrow what medicine the Rheumytologist wants to try and he will tell us how things will change for us what to exspect.<br />
Grace sent me Charlotte my own Monster to hug and sent the girls phyllis and charity.<br />
Letting me know we will fight this one together too.<br />
I want her to know how much it comforts us:)<br />
My hubby has taken over as much as he can he cooks and cleans and cares for us and the girls are learning to be more independant.<br />
We just got my Diagnosis a week ago so we haven't had time to tell all our family or our friends<br />

His ears are Mystic Grey, a translucent grey glass and his eyes are wonderful multi-hued nebulae.<br />
I won this gorgeous blown glass owl from a blog giveaway at </em></strong><a href="http://theglassowl.blogspot.com/2009/11/glass-owl-bead-giveaway-no-2-who-who.html"><strong><em>The Glass Owl</em></strong></a><strong><em> November 22 2009.</em></strong><br />
<strong><em>I finally picked out my beads and accessories and made this wonderful and very special necklace:)</em></strong><br />
<strong><em>Thankyou Georgie for your generous gift it means so much to me:)</em></strong><br />
<strong><em>A little about the artist:</em></strong><br />
<strong><em>All beads are made by Georgie with enthusiasm and care in her home studio in Melbourne, Australia from Moretti/Effetre, Vetrofond, German and/or American glasses. </em></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><em>This was my entery comment that was picked:</em></strong><br />
<strong><em>My grandmother collected owls and when she passed away I got to pick out a white owl statue I keep it in my china hutch.<br />
I found a story about owls:<br />
The Owl was associated with the Greek goddess Pallas Athena. Soldiers have held the Owl as a special bird because it stays awake at night, which is the hardest time for soldiers to stay awake. <br />
Some Native Americans see the Owl as the symbol of the soul.<br />
I like this as my hubby is Airforce and our youngest daughter age 3 is Athena.<br />
If I won the owl I would go to my local bead shop and make a necklace to wear:)<br />
The owl reminds me of my grandmother she was always looking out for me ((((Hugs))))Darcy</em></strong>Darcys Knotty Knitterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00022869069300030504noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744504185638565237.post-14467013962009849832011-08-18T00:21:00.000-07:002011-08-18T00:25:49.521-07:00"O Becky Your So Naughty" Baldwin's Little Sister<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">˙·٠•●♥ “<strong>O Becky Your So Naughty” is a Bathroom Monster who loves accessories and will dump out all the pretties trying to find just the right ones for dolling up but cleaning up is not her thing"</strong>♥●•··˙ <strong><br />

<b><i></i></b>Last time I blogged alot was happening and I was feeling overwhelmed so hubby in his infinite wisdom sent me home.<br />
I bought "The Big Book Of Knitted Monsters" By Rebecca Danger<br />
I knit a Monster for Alora his name is Naughty Baldwin The Bathroom Monster.<br />
I had some Yummy Malabrigo in a colorway that reminds me of my Summer's as a girl chasing the ice cream truck to buy a creamsicle on a hot day.<br />
I bought the skein from SandraSingh.com<br />
Alora loves her Monster and I'm knitting one for Athena right now in Malabrigo Colorway Cuarzo a lovely lilac:)<br />
<br />
I visited my Son and Grandson and got some knitting time with friends and relaxed it was a therapeutic trip.<br />
I spent 3 days with my son celebrated his 26Th birthday went out to eat went to the movies and we got pictures taken together:)<br />
I spent my Grandsons last day of Kindegarten with him at his school and went to his Graduation the following day so special.<br />
We are still working on health issues mine and Alora's are getting better but we haven't figured out Athena's yet but we will.<br />
Everything has broken down or had to be replaced this year like washer & dryer ,vacuum,lawnmower,vehicles but we just deal with things as they come.<br />
I'm taking time to just spend lazy days with the girls watching movies or reading them stories and cooking light healthy recipes for my family.<br />
The Summer is going by quickly school starts next month. <br />
Hopefully I will start to be a more frequent blogger until then tell me about your Summer:)Darcys Knotty Knitterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00022869069300030504noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744504185638565237.post-17336868695313860742011-04-09T00:09:00.000-07:002011-04-09T00:12:07.442-07:00Tough Stuff Just Keep Your Chin Up:)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqwfNDeS7iw46h9dyz0byJkJ5MBYvgDas_R2V_j1UKHjhY3zAotZfl3hkQjnhyphenhyphen2YE_ruUOGjOA9vCzLXzijGnfBBYuO0qRz0781P22ntT1kWRkLIvZYfqBQ7JVzA92c3dE-JdxxsNHdDiT/s1600/Don%2527t+Give+Up.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="0" height="169" width="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqwfNDeS7iw46h9dyz0byJkJ5MBYvgDas_R2V_j1UKHjhY3zAotZfl3hkQjnhyphenhyphen2YE_ruUOGjOA9vCzLXzijGnfBBYuO0qRz0781P22ntT1kWRkLIvZYfqBQ7JVzA92c3dE-JdxxsNHdDiT/s320/Don%2527t+Give+Up.jpg" /></a></div><br />
