Hello everyone! Since I am blessed to still have relatives in Italy and England , here is a picture of our great and wonderful world as seen on my office desk. This globe is positioned so I can see the 'boot' of Italy . There are such awesome people all over this world. The One World One Heart Event gives us an opportunity to broaden our friendships and share ourselves. Note: The globe is as aged as I am, now that's impressive. Look at the color, still lovely.
Welcome to my DreamChallenge and One World One Heart Event. Here is a heart designed using my very favorite hobby - knitting: (the design is mine and the circle of pearls represents our circle of unity).
My husband loves to garden and so this picture of me shelling peas is appropriate to share with all of you. He does the gardening and I do the cooking/canning, etc. Of course, he helps me a lot especially with the clean up after the project is completed. We always send our granddaughters some fresh peas out of the garden when they are first ripe. They live about five hours away and love getting the packages from Grammy and Papaw.
Here he is, the love of my life. Bob is a cancer survivor and has lived through a stem cell transplant. We are so blessed and Thank God each day for Bob's continued good health. Can you see that smile? He is a great person. This picture shows a sweater I made for his niece (mine too), but little Jack was not even born when this project was completed.
Sharing my love of knitting is a joy. The item choosen for this event giveaway could be for a man, woman or child. When you win this lovely item knitted with prayer for the winner, be sure to tell me who will wear it. If it is a woman or girl, there are flowers to accompany the 'arrowpoint neck wrap'. The men and boys will probably not want the flowers. Knitting flowers sometimes makes them a little too big, so these are crochet and will tie onto the wrap. When you leave a comment, please leave your e-mail or mailing address or some way for me to contact you when you win. I look forward to meeting you as we travel the world together. Thank you to our wonderful host, Lisa http://awhimsicalbohemian.typepad.com/a_whimsical_bohemian/2010/12/annoucning-the-fifth-and-final-one-world-one-heart-event-.html
Hi, Is your daughter eligible to win? hehehehe I LOVE that.
ReplyDeleteYour new post is great. I think it is cool that you have followers. The pictures are perfect representations of you both.
I continue to be impressed with your blog each time I read something new. It inspires me to make my own about the day in the life of 1P.
Hi Jan ! How nice to meet you on this lovely OWOH journey. I would be thrilled to win your lovely knitted creations. Thanks so much for the chance. Enjoy the meeting adn greeting !
ReplyDeleteCheers !
How nice! It is so good to meet you. I enjoyed visiting your blog, and I hope you will visit mine, too (#307).
ReplyDeleteYour knitting is really beautiful - isn't it soothing to just sit and listen to the click of your needles as you watch the growth of your knitted creation? I am not great at knitting, still learning but I find it very centering and soothing. I would love a chance to win a knitted beauty by you.

Hi there, nice to see 'real' peas being shelled, I hate the way life does things like put them in packets in the freezer section & you miss the tactile sensation, not to mention the sweet smell & the 'pop' sound when you shell them, lot's more satisfing & of course TASTIER :) By the way I'm pleased to meet you (I'm Shelle from Sunshine Coast Australia) If you have time I'd love you to come on over check out my giveaways & comment at my OWOH post too :) oh & please feel free to drop in now and then after OWOH if you're in the bloggersphere :)
