I did it

I didn't think I could do it. doubt laid embedded in my heart as the perspective of 27 disappointed children was piling weights on my momster shoulders. always climbing, but never reaching. wishing I were a Martha Stewart bionic mom. but I did it. the weird thumb big white mitten.

oMG!! I'm awestruck. Also, what you wrote was just what I needed to read. I'm all over the map with the whole house hunting thing, swinging back and forth, not necessarily ever on the same page as my husband--and you put it all in perspective for a moment.

I just tuned in to your blog but I know what it is like to try something new...looks like you succeeded. I think Martha Stewart would say "It's a good thing!"

Horray for Irene! Congrats to you woman -- you should be very proud. Mittens are not easy to knit!
