I have a few to more to go.......

I have almost caught up on my exchanges except for a few. Hopefully, I can & will become busy as a bee-getting all caught up on my exchanges, even those not due yet. I am waiting for a few glass beads to finish one, finally got the addresses I misplaced to mail out some exchanges. I love making and exchanging stitch markers with others, as I like to surprise them & be sur- prised by their gifts. They always come when I least expect them, brightening my days when I need it most. I have sites that can help you learn how to make stitch markers yourselves, can show you pictures of ones I have received or have made. Leave me a comment with your e-mail or e-mail me at: jilwoodruffpulley@hotmail.com if you want me to send you the information. Have a great time knitting like busy bees.

I love the Ozarks..........

I love the Ozarks, especially in Northern Arkansas and Southern Missouri. The picture above was taken in Taney County Missouri. Other than the Ozarks, I fell in love with the Smokey Mountains. They were breath taking, more so when shown in the modern day movie of "The Last of the Mohicans". My d/hubby and I are looking for places that we could retire to somewhere in the Ozarks or the Smokey Mountains.
I want to retire around Branson, MO if possible, mainly b/cause of the entertainment it has all the music-mountain, bluegrass, as well as, all the musical shows in Branson, that one would ever want besides being up in the Ozarks. When we visit Branson I never want to leave-it is one place that I can stay & feel a peace I find no where else. It is a place that is close to God-an area that we can be encourage in addition to encouraging others.
The land and Ozarks are beautiful, beyond words, & at Christmas time, it turns into a fantasy land beyond all imagination! There is so much peace in these mountains, so much time to just sit back and think-to pray-to listen for God's words to touch your heart, soul & mind.
I dream of sitting on my front porch, sitting in one rocking chair while my husband is in the other, playing his guitar and singing to me as tho' time had not passed and we were young, my listening to him sing, playing to his hearts' content-& man can he play and sing still today. I love my husband dearly-even after 30 years and age is starting to take over and show. He still thrills me to my soul, loves me as we have never loved before-as our love grows as each day passes. May each of you be as blessed as I have with the most wonderful husband God could create.

Greetings and Welcome

Ahh! Welcome to my new blog spot. I am going to still follow my general way of blogging as I did on my other blog spot. I want to use this blog spot as a way to encour-age my visitors with their knitting, their struggles, with life with good ol' fashion Southern Hospitality. Life is too short not to help others who need help, encourage those needing encouragement, bringing joy and hope to all who are searching for it. I also want to help knitters who are just learning by offering help sites, sites with other blogger's that can help them, including my groups on Yahoo. I hope you will come to visit often, correct me if I am wrong, get encouragement when you need it, or just to have fun when you want it. May this site be a blessing to you all, as Jesus my Lord is a blessing to me daily. You all are a blessing to me, those who visit w/out leaving a comment and to those who do. You will never know how much I am encouraged and up- lifted by all of you. Come and visit often as I will be adding daily to my site. If you have any questions at all, please e-mail me at jilwoodruffpulley@hotmail.com or by leaving a comment with your e-mail address to respond to you. I will help you as best as I can whether it deals with knitting or questions about my disability, etc.
