Boy, keeping up with a blog is not easy. But I added a few pics of projects that I have finished. And there are alot more to post, but alittle at a time is better than none.
I am still knitting like crazy and taking on more projects than I can keep up with, but it is so relaxing, it lets my mind wonder from thinking about work too much. I also have been busy with my quilting, I am collecting fabric strips and hope to make my first strip quilt soon.
It is that time of year in WI, when people are just plain sick of winter and snow, so come on Spring time, lets see some green grass soon.
Thanks everyone for taking the interest to look at my blog. I will try to keep at it better.

I had my clog class yesterday, went great. Starting on the cuff part now. Will post pic as it gets closer to finish.
I am arranging my projects to take on vacation. Have to cut fabric for two baby quilts and maybe finish a mystery quilt I started. I will work on a wool sweater and take a felted bag project along also.
I started reading The Divide by Nicholas Evans, so far very good.
Posted a pic of our dog, Abby. I had a artist draw this from an emailed picture, it turned out real good. Hope you enjoy it.
Happy Sunday.

P.S. Don't forget to sign up under comments for the Pay it Forward (see 09/25/07 posting below). It is a great way to pass on some kindness. Let me know how to contact you. Thanks

Well, keeping a blog is not easy, there is not enough time in the day to do everything I want to do. I have not had any replys to the Pay it Forward, which is sad, it is such a good idea. Giving out of the kindness of your heart and hoping others will pass it on. May be word just needs to get out there more, I know most people are giving people, and sometimes they just don't realize it.
I have been knitting and quilting.
I have one sleeve to still finish on my brundt orange sweater, I want to take that on vacation with me, since it is getting cool here already. I have vest and a cuff to cuff sweater on needles also. And I am taking a clog class today. But the good news is I did finish two projects.
I like to knit, but have a real problem with purling long rows, it causes my arm to hurt, I am sure I am doing something wrong, but don't know what. I have looked it up on KH and it was suggested to try shoulder messages, and it does work. I just wished I knew what I was doing wrong with the purling. (I find myself staying away from patterns with alot of purling.)
On vacation I will be taking knitting and quilting, need to make some baby quilts. And a good book. But now it is time to enjoy the weekend.
Later, Marilynn

Pay It Forward
Michelle (Knitncook) from Knitting Help posted about the Pay it Forward Exchange for knitters. It's truly a cool concept. It feels a bit like a chain letter, but I'm hoping that people really do "pay it forward." It is a wonderful way to spread some happiness and see if others can do the same, just for the reward of doing something nice for someone else. Michelle has allowed me to pass it on, so join the fun and giving.
Pay It Forward is based of the concept of the movie “Pay it Forward” where acts or deeds of kindness are done without expecting something in return, just passing it on, with hope that the recipients of the acts of kindness are passed on. You all know I’m already a PIF type of person. So here’s how it works. I will make and send a handmade gift (example: knitted item quilted item, anything homemade, candles, etc.) to the first 3 people who leave a comment to this post on my blog requesting to join this PIF exchange. I do not know what that gift will be yet, and it won’t be sent this month, probably not next month, but it will be sent (within 6 months) and that’s a promise! What YOU have to do in return, then, is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog.So post a reply if you want in and then go post a similar message on your blog! PAY IT FORWARD!

Hi, my name is Marilynn, I live in Wisconsin. Thank you for checking out my Blog, I hope it can only get better day by day.
I don't know much about them. But I guess this is a good way to learn. Now that I have a Blog started, I can hopefully join the Pay It Forward on the KH Forum. I will see if I can find someone to pass it on to me and then offer it to others. The opportunity to Pay it Forward is great, just a little nicest to someone else for no reason, is something we can all use.
