Knitting projects

Just to keep myself on track:
1. Almost finished with denim blue baby blanket for Levi.
2. Will start a few new baby hats this weekend.

I located an old high school friend through Facebook, and it turns out she lives only blocks away from me. So we've gotten together now twice at each other's homes on Wednesday nights over the past month to knit...turns out Lynn just learned to knit in December and loves it. It's been really fun to catch up on life and sit together for a few hours and knit. She has a few co-workers who are interested in putting a knitting group together, where 4 or 5 of us would meet once a month to knit. That is something I have wanted to do for awhile. We can just work on our own projects. It might be fun too to make some things for charity, like baby caps and pet blankets and shawls/lap blankets.

Some Goals for 2010

l. To get my house more organized, especially upstairs. To get rid of a lot of stuff, streamline, put things in their place, etc.

2. Read my "Sparkling Gems" by Rick Renner devotional book every morning. Continue with my Bible reading every day.

3. Pray and journal. Everyday, write a prayer in my journal for whoever and whatever God lays on my heart. I have been doing this the past few days and I love how God just flows through my words for prayer journaling...then I read it back outloud and continue to pray for that person/situation, etc. when I think of it during the day.

4. Goal is to walk at the mall in the mornings before work, at least 20 minutes a day, 5 days a week.

5. Cut back on sugar, white flour, junk food. Need to lose 20 lbs....10 lbs would be awesome!

6. Send out more cards/notes/letters to friends and family.

7. Make more of an effort to reach out to friends...new and old...to get together.

8. Make date times with my husband...since he works swing shift lately, this is needed more than ever. We really need to spend good quality time together on the weekends.

9. Try to listen better and not interupt people when they are talking...especially my husband!!

10. Pay off two credit card bills. This year. And do not charge any more on them!!

Baby hat models!

Here are few pictures some friends of mine from church sent me of their babies wearing hats I knitted for them.
