ramblings and Socks!

my purse after ??? years! got it before the sisters moved to NCpoor thing is well used and showing wear.......doesn't like to zip either!


the make-up bag is looking pretty good tho!the pattern is discontinued........and i think the style of backpack is too ~ what a bummer! should have bought 2 !

the socks are done and were worn to the last! work day - yep, i'm officially retired after 25years at the same hospital! i got a copy of my "termination" paper ~ under "reason for termination" ~~ retired!!

newborn hats for our hospital nursery ~ knit for them years ago and the volunteer lady saw me the other day ~~ ended up with 4 skeins

to accomplish as many hats as possible ~ til we move ~ only downside -- the yarn's ack!rylic -- don't mind it ~~ if it's a blend ~ and i've heard that ack!rylic is perfect for baby bibs!!
cotton holds drool and such and makes baby chest cold and wet & i do like ack!rylic for those busy moms who need to toss'n'wash
but i also know that wool or blends will turn to ash (basically) if exposed to heat/fire and ack!rylic ~~ welp ~~ it MELTS into your skin ~~ not so great for anyone ~~ but just imagine on an infant's baby soft skin :(

yup! i know i worry about weird things......fires/melted kids are rare.....

Try looking on E-Bay for another purse ---- I have found discontinued patterns there. Maybe you will get lucky!

What are you doing up at 5:22 am when you are now retired! Hoping for some piece and quiet?
