Don't buy stuff for someday, buy only what will be used now.Lorrainehttp://lorrieknitsandsews.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-54434632405586821652011-01-19T10:26:35.479+00:002011-01-19T10:26:35.479+00:00Has C been referred to the hospice anyway for supp...Has C been referred to the hospice anyway for support (or have I got it wrong that you thought that might be a possibility?) They are people you can talk to about other options. There are also carer's organisations - this one is local to you and has a link to "arranging a break from caring". http://www.vocal.org.uk/Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10205649445015116465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-23750731515250258432011-01-18T20:12:25.118+00:002011-01-18T20:12:25.118+00:00Wendy of Wendy Knits is rapidly progressing with a...Wendy of Wendy Knits is rapidly progressing with an amazing twisted stitch Aran.shandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17372329387935318023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-63355999373373954902011-01-18T19:38:37.659+00:002011-01-18T19:38:37.659+00:00I wanted to recommend "Twisted-Stitch Knittin...I wanted to recommend "Twisted-Stitch Knitting" too.

I know it is available from Schoolhouse Press. It is a stitch dictionary for twisted stitch and has some beautiful sweater and vest patterns in it along with a plethora of socks. You should be able to find something there.<br />You know ... your's is the one blog I read everyday.

There were volunteers who came and sat with my mother for a couple of hours at a time so I could get some time for myself. Maybe there is an organization like that there. <br />It helped me and it helped my mother to have someone different to talk with.Theresa Inoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-20957450894531373782011-01-18T14:06:48.044+00:002011-01-18T14:06:48.044+00:00Those who care for the infirm do certainly need a ...Those who care for the infirm do certainly need a respite. Wasn't caring for the sick one of the corporal works of mercy from my Baltimore Catechism? I hope she can get some help. (Assuming her mother will accept it.) I am glad we have until April for taxes. With holiday rush taxes would be hard to fit in the mix.Mary Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05588244535423212079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-86051377598895566422011-01-18T13:23:58.937+00:002011-01-18T13:23:58.937+00:00The gnomes look very cheerful looking in the windo...The gnomes look very cheerful looking in the window.<br /><br />Could your niece not find someone to come in to clean and maybe cook a little for your SIL?

Lacewings? Hoverflies? If you Google "Insect Shelter Garden" you'll find pictures and info. I don't bother...I've got plenty of rubbish all over the garden and allotment for insects to overwinter in already.Spinningfishwifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13709744732495957360noreply@blogger.com
