What Lies Ahead

Happy New Year to any one stopping by! I'm spending the day at home, changing sheets, doing laundry, and knitting assorted projects, booky, Lucky Penny, and some personal stuff sneaking in. This photo is from this summer, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The entry to the Amway Grand Hotel from the parking structure, which the Man had issues with because it cost extra to park. This was the nicest hotel that we were in this summer, and it had All Things Amway. The gift shop had many Amway products. I have a bad brother who thought he could make a living selling Amway (called Quixtar now) instead of getting a job. He talked me into being a distributor, so I recognize the products. I spent a lot of time in the hotel bathroom with the lovely lighted magnifying mirror, working on the chin hair thing. Welcome to middle age. I'm doing a mental assessment of projects past, and thinking about 2006. I would like for the future to be more thoughtful regarding the projects I make for myself. Just because a garment is a spectacular piece of knitting, it may not be something I would actually wear. My goal moving forward is to knit things that will be useful pieces in my wardrobe. Of course, the next few months will be devoted to finishing the book project. I would also like to move the Lucky Penny enterprise forward, and hopefully the workshops that I will be doing at Wigglyville will help to accomplish that. This year I would also just like to knit projects for the fun of it, like some toys or home furnishings. There's a lot to think about. I was out in the yard with my camera today, so photos of new (and some old) finished projects are planned for this week's postings. Come back in the next few days or so!
