Man oh man what a month and I don't even know where to start. Well I started the dragon scales shawl but then I ripped it out because I want to make a blanket instead of a shawl. Than I finally got started on at least one of the crochet blankets for the children's miracle network. Lets see what else has happened this month.. Oh oh I finally started massage school and I really like the way this school is working out so far!
Also I have discovered the podcast called Daily Buddhism and the website is www.dailybuddhism.com you should really check it out I really like the podcasts to because they take start you out as a beginner and the podcaster really explains things as simply as he can. I think that is all I have for you right now...but anyway i thought that I would let you all still know that I am alive I am just going to school finally so it might be awhile between posts but I promise I will get them out when I can. Well I have to go be with my husband and daughter and hopefully get a little more studying in. Hope things are well!
Added later: My mom has finally discovered mala's (Buddhist rosaries) and she is planning on making her own. I find this very interesting because if you know my mom she is a very strict Christian.

Buddhism and me
Happy October everyone!
It has been awhile since I last posted hasn't it? Well I am still making blankets and trying to get those done by December. Now that it is October I know I still have 2 months-ish to get at least a blanket done and donated to the raffle for the Children's Miracle Network but dude it feels like it is just around the corner...oh wait it is! Man I really hate deadline knitting not that I don't like a challenge that isn't it at all its the worry of getting the project done on time without messing up.. Man pressure can be well * cough* an itch!
Anyway I just thought that I would let people know that I am still live and kicking. I would be screaming but my project is going well so far..also the knitting Gods/Fates have been unusually nice to me *knock on wood*. As of late I have been really getting back into Buddhism and Hinduism. I have no idea why but believe it or not I was Buddhist/Wiccan when I was like 16 but my mom didn't find out that I was Buddhist until I was 19.And I was Wiccan long before I was Buddhist but anyway.. So anyway I make Buddhist malas (A Buddhist mala is a strand of 108 beads plus a guru or big bead) and my husband said " why don't you sell them. You make them so well. You even got a comment from a Buddhist nun." And that got me to thinking about starting to sell them so maybe that is why I am getting back into that..who knows.
But for those of you who want to know the whole story of how I got a comment from a Buddhist nun. We had seen her at Bookman's (Bookman's for those of you who don't know know is a used entertainment store they sell books, cd's, games, electronics ect) of all places and got to talking about Buddhism, malas, books, and other things and we asked if she would like to join us for tea at a local tea shop here. She agreed and we made plans to meet her and I told her that I would bring a mala that I had made for her to see ( because while talking about malas I mentioned that I make them as well and she wanted to see I couldn't blame her). Anyway we meet her at the shop and I show her 1 of the malas that I have made and she said " this is better then the ones they make at the monastery" after hearing that I smiled and I think I blushed and all I could say was "thank you".
I was speechless which doesn't happen very often.
Well that is the story..and I can't think of anything else to post about. If you are interested in a mala or malas as in buying them please feel free to email me.
