I would like to promise that I will eat better, curse less, knit more, complain less, but in reality that may never happen. I will say that I'm going to try to focus on a better outlook, and just have more patience...<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_P0fF-KrK7IA/Sz1bOTmR7RI/AAAAAAAAAD0/Oej3KPJ_3KA/s1600-h/cityscape+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_P0fF-KrK7IA/Sz1bOTmR7RI/AAAAAAAAAD0/Oej3KPJ_3KA/s320/cityscape+3.jpg" width="320" /></a><br /></div>Cheers!<br />This is a lovely photo of Providence.

I really do not have issues about being 44, it's a number and it's nothing else. I enjoyed the day receiving so many wonderful wishes from great friends near and far. I feel very blessed. I was able to spend the evening with my parents and my children helping me&nbsp;blow out my candles, and tomorrow is Thanksgiving, another favorite day!<br />I would like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving filled with traditions new and old.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7630192957594107636-2950086028982649997?l=cozyknitwear.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rhonda Fargnolihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14648761908363106843noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7630192957594107636.post-25737152585378405852009-10-28T15:48:00.000-07:002009-10-28T15:48:50.686-07:00If you're looking for a little escape from the rain and drizzle, click this link about Celia Birtwell, a lovely designer who created beautiful&nbsp;garments. I have decided to create some new sketches and designs inspired by Ms. Birtwell, for my first children's collection. Enjoy the sounds of the birds while you view these wonderful pieces.

I guess I lead a boring...well mostly a life filled with too much work and not enough fun, LIFE. I went to see Julie/ Julia and loved it. Light, charming and enjoyable way to spend a Sunday afternoon.<br />I have quite a busy day tomorrow at work, not looking forward to it...I'm looking forward to&nbsp;completing a few new designs and I have dreamed up a lovely concept...to delicious to share right now, kind of like the Brie I just bought at Whole Foods today, totally&nbsp;inspired&nbsp;by the movie! I covered it with&nbsp;raspberries and honey&nbsp;drizzled&nbsp;on top, quite decadent for a little snack, but we must take good care of ourselves every now and then!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7630192957594107636-8098234734492663143?l=cozyknitwear.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rhonda Fargnolihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14648761908363106843noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7630192957594107636.post-54717954398834137792009-10-01T17:27:00.000-07:002009-10-01T17:27:19.167-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_P0fF-KrK7IA/SsVI3ZRzHXI/AAAAAAAAADU/AXBrWbaJ2KM/s1600-h/Buenos+Aires.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_P0fF-KrK7IA/SsVI3ZRzHXI/AAAAAAAAADU/AXBrWbaJ2KM/s320/Buenos+Aires.JPG" /></a><br /></div>My lovely daughter Elise, will have her first art show tomorrow evening at The Silver Circle Studio, in Putnam, CT.
