Somedays I just can't think of a blog post title

and today is one of them. Fa la la la la.

My creative brain is in overdrive. Too much I want to do but not enough time or energy to get it all accomplished. My dad has had his ups and downs this past week and I am doing my best to support my parents through this. They live well over an hour from my house and it takes the whole day to go visit with them so I can't do it everyday, although, if there were more hours in the day, I would.

The one thing I can do while visiting them, is to knit, so that has been the best outlet for my creativity of late. Here is a pile of things I have knit. Not saying what they are right now, as they are all presents for Christmas.

I also made this wreath out of vintage glass ornaments. Hubby says 'tacky'. I say 'love it'.

The one thing that can really cheer my dad up these days are dogs (small children would do it too). I brought mine the other day and they jumped on his bed and started licking his face. He was sound asleep at the time, but woke up with a smile and a giggle.

Pabu then went and ran around the house like a madman and ended up on one of their coaches.

Stay tuned this week for the most amazing find, found at my parents house. They have had it for over 30 years and I just discovered it the other day....hint...it has to do with vintage clothing.
