Finally finished knitting Resident Chef's new socks that I promised him at Christmas....
If you, like many of us, are attempting to declutter, perhaps this quote from Dana White (author of 'Decluttering At The Speed of Life') might be useful... Embracing the Container Concept means looking at every space that holds stuff (a container, a shelf, a drawer, a closet) as a limit and filling it with favorite stuff first. The size of the "contain"er determines when enough is enough, and that makes it easier to get rid of things that don't fit. It's not about deciding whether something has value or is worth keeping, it's about not keeping more than will fit.
- THESE gave me an awwww moment.
- I like THIS but I wouldn't have it hanging in my car because I don't think it's overly safe. I think there are lots of other uses for it though.
- Have a peek through the gallery of THIS amazing artist.
- And THIS one too!
Today's quote, once again from an anonymous source..."This, my dear, is the greatest challenge of being alive: To witness the injustices of the world, and not allow it to consume our light"
Greetings MaryAnn: I hope all is well with you, the socks are lovely better late then never, love the color combination.
ReplyDeleteThank-you for the links, the three pigs are so cute.

Yes, good thing RC is a patient man! He knows how long it takes me to knit socks so he wasn't holding out much hope for getting them too soon.
DeleteNeat socks!! Nice finish on these;))
ReplyDeleteThree little piggies are just adorable--I went to market this morning hahaha hugs, Julierose
RC loves my hand knit socks and now refuses to wear store-bought ones. Trouble is that he is very hard on socks so they don't last as long as they should. Fortunately he does know how to darn them.
DeleteGlad you liked the piggies!
Great socks! The cute crocheted creatures would not fit in any of my selected containers.....The Linden quilts are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteRC does like his hand made socks so I guess I'll just have to keep knitting!
DeleteThose socks were worth waiting for. They're lovely.
ReplyDeleteHe's a happy man and that's what counts.
DeleteNeat socks!
ReplyDeleteThe quote hits home as every time I see that awful man's name in a headline, I feel more depressed.
No more will that happen. I'm putting him on ignore.
RC is wearing them so I guess he's happy with them.
DeleteI blame the media for a lot of the so-called credence that awful man gets. If they'd simply refuse to publish/talk about him in any way, it would help put a stop to his idiocy.
Sherry of createology: Wonderful hand knitted socks for RC. There are truly an infinite number of very clever and talented artists in this world and my dear that includes you! Interesting quote and it is making me think twice. I hope you are having Spring.
ReplyDeleteSocks, at least for me, aren't a quick knit, but I keep one on the go all the time and pick it up when I have a few minutes.
DeleteThank you for your kind words (as always!)
As someone else has said, better late than never. It is a times like this I wish I knew how to crochet. Those pigs are so cute.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Yes, I thought those little piggies were beyond cute. I can crochet but don't think I'll be making them.
DeleteVery nice socks. I imagine your Resident Chef is stylin' in those colors.
ReplyDeleteHe's a happy camper so that's all that counts!
DeleteEnjoyed looking through these links. Thanks for the "containing" idea.
DeleteGlad you liked the links!
