“Time is free,
but it's priceless.
You can't own it,
but you can use it.
You can't keepit,
but you can spend it.
Once you've lost it
you can never get it back.”
Harvey MacKay
jan. 20
at the start of september
i was gifted with
TIME
TIME
something we all take for granted
at various moments in our life
this
TIME
that had been gifted
came in the form
of
two littles having their pottery lessons together
therefor
giving me
a
WHOLE
hour and a half
to myself
SOMETHING THAT rarely HAS BEEN
it could have
but i just never asked
or took the opportunity to be alone
or took the opportunity to be alone
so with this gift of
TIME
TIME
i find myself savoring each minute
and what do i do with such
TIME
you may wonder
well
sometimes i sit in silence
and
just simply be
sometimes
i sit and knit or crochet
read or write
or capture moments passing
through the lense of my camera
through the lense of my camera
sometimes
i run around like a mad woman
attempting to get errands accomplished
as a gift to my littles
and sometimes
i find myself wandering through thrift stores
sometimes i am on a misson
specifics on my mind
and sometimes
just sometimes
when least expecting
i stumble upon something grand
i bet by now you figured it out
yesterday
not even thinking of yarn
40 bundles in a bag @ 3.99
3.99 / 40 = 0.09975
now how could i resist!!!
the greatest part was
this yarn above
this yarn above
something i would have walked right by
if lined on a shelf
if lined on a shelf
when i returned home
with my sweet little bag plum full of beautiful bits
i pulled out this yarn
and thought
why not
so different from my ususal
and you know what
I LOVE IT
my love even commented on how pretty it was
and you know what
I LOVE IT
my love even commented on how pretty it was
so different but so wonderful
i can't wait to finish
so
in
TIME
i shall knit my minutes away
i can't wait to finish
so
in
TIME
i shall knit my minutes away

Lovely quote and beauty threads and yarn. There is something comforting to see a pile of yarn.
So glad you had this time apart.
Blessings.
I've always envied knitters and crocheters (sp?). I have NO patience to learn or sit long enough to finish anything.....sigh.....maybe I'll take it up in my old age? Wonder if I'll still be full of piss & vinegar in my crone years ; )
I have a weakness of bags of cool thrift shop yarn- what a find!!! Knitting or crocheting makes time sitting seem like more of an accomplishment of sorts!
Scarves, mitts and sweaters for everyone!
Oh my goodness my friend,
You scored a fabulous deal and the yarn is simply yummy! It is so important for mom's to have a little time to their selves, it helps us be better!
I can't wait to see what you make with your treasured yarn.
I wish you a lovely day.
Sincerely,
Melinda
that's what I'm talking bout....good deal honey. I just recently have come back to yarn and string and all manner of spidery things. Lovely to look at but oh so wonderful to hold. Have fun in "your" moments. The Olde Bagg
Time is an amazing gift and such a lovely way to spend it...I've not picked up crochet hooks or knitting needles in quite some time...perhaps it is time I begin again.
I would have snatched that bag up in a heartbeat as well! I love to crochet though I can't knit for beans. I can't wait to see what you make out of that pretty yarn!
Ohhh, aren't you the lucky one! I can't wait to see what you will create with it!
Good to see you spending some time doing things that spark the heart. :)
Blessings and Blissings!

time is indeed a strange thing ... i miss it, i have lost much of it in my youth, i'm afraid of it going by, trying to catch up with time lost but afraid that it'll stop suddenly before i'm done...
the yarns you bought are gorgeous!! esp the multi hue ones with the bubbles!! :)
Score! I love it when that happens! That yarn is funky,chunky cool......I know it will be gorgeous :)
Such a blessing! Enjoy your precious time. That wool looks fabulous!
Yay..so beautiful and uplifting..enjoy your treasures and creating even more of them!!
have a beautiful wkd!
What an amazing and absolutely gorgeous stash of yarn you came across! Each skein is unique and wonderful...just like you ;))))
