Seven of pentacles or coins Take a break from your hectic life and enjoy your knitting. Do some knitting for yourself, or something you really enjoy. If you are knitting frantically to complete some gifts take a break. On the Seven of Pentacles we see a man who has labored long and hard in his garden. The foliage is full, the blossoms are out - it seems that his work has paid off. Now he's taking a break to admire his handiwork. How satisfying it is to see such fine results! How rewarding is sweet success! The Seven of Pentacles is a time-out card. It represents those moments after a rush of activity when we stop to catch our breath and look around. The man in the picture has paused to contemplate the fruits of his own labors, but he could also pick that fruit. In readings, the Seven of Pentacles can indicate a reward that will come your way, particularly as a result of your own efforts. Take it and enjoy. The Tarot is a deck of cards that originated over 500 years ag

I have had so many requests for the crochet elephant or Lord Ganesha , I am starting to work on him. I decided that I will just make another one and actually attempt a tutorial.  Soooooo more to follow... The son of Shiva and Parvati, Ganesha has an elephantine countenance with a curved trunk and big ears, and a huge pot-bellied body of a human being. He is the Lord of success and destroyer of evils and obstacles. He is also worshipped as the god of education, knowledge, wisdom and wealth. In fact, Ganesha is one of the five prime Hindu deities (Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva and Durga being the other four) whose idolatry is glorified as the panchayatana puja .   Significance of the Ganesha Form Ganesha's head symbolizes the Atman or the soul, which is the ultimate supreme reality of human existence, and his human body signifies Maya or the earthly existence of human beings. The elephant head denotes wisdom and its trunk represents Om , the sound symbol of cosmic reality. In

No points, food scales, calorie counters needed I have never been overweight much. Most of my life I heard comments like "your too thin". I Never thought too much about weight, and could loose 5 pounds in a couple of days mysteriously. Enter the Now, post hysterectomy, and middle age. I'm not sure what happened. Well maybe that is not true. I have been eating my way through stressful times. Perhaps I always did this but the stress was not as much, and I had more time for activity. I have heard from people that lost weight the "ah ha" moment. A picture, video, or glimpse of themselves in a mirror. Mine was at a yoga class. I have taken yoga off and on, for years. So the other night, there I am in class trying to do postures and my body is not the shape or size I am use to. How did this happen? There are parts getting in the way of what I'm doing and during some poses I knew that my center of gravity was working against me so much I began to worry

Lavender farm; Did you know that lavender is the herb of devotion, joy and luck? I thought this was so beautiful. The color is unbelievable . What would it feel like to sit under this tree with your knitting.... May your needles fly as fast as dragonflies...

I am a Internet knitting and crochet pattern aholic. I love free patterns, and there are so many of them online. Who isn't trying to save money for any gift giving that we do. Here are some I found that you may enjoy making for the Holidays. Fingerless Crochet driving gloves by LionBrand yarns, I like these! They are different than any of the "fingerless gloves" I have seen before. I have made the LionBrand patterns before, and recommend them. Although they are shown on a woman, I plan to make a pair for a man. If you use the recommended yarn by LionBrand these would cost about $5 to make. Next pattern is also crochet, this one is from Berrocco, it is a unusual felted hat . The instructions call to crochet it, felt it, and cut it out. Sounds mistake proof, If you use the Alpaca yarn called for the cost would be approximate. 11.50 or so. A free sock pattern that is fun is " tipsy" by Gina House from Sleepy Eyes Knit blog, (go to her blog and check

Today's card is the seven of cups   As knitter's we have many choices or projects this week, especially with the holiday season upon us. Choose thoughtfully. Whether knitting for yourself or others. A need to reflect upon choices.  Sometimes too many choices and opportunities are presented, which need careful consideration if a grave error of judgement is to be avoided.  May refer to a variety of choices of people for example marriage and other partners. The inquirer is faced with several choices one of exceptional promise but great perception is needed for this to be seen.  This card may also indicate mystical experience of an inspiring kind. The seven of cups is a  card of many meanings, with so much symbolism. All of the cups are on a cloud with a man in black in the foreground.  The cups seem to offer many things, snake=passion, desire and power, treasure=wealth and abundance, human head=companion or lover, castle=power and stability, laurel wreath=honor and statu
