i see a theme in my life lately. i came across this old photo and it made me think about hands.
these are my grandson danny's hands. at the end of each day these little hands are filthy with experiences and adventures, a day in the life of danny.
my hands have been busy these days as well. we are anxiously waiting the birth of my daughter's first baby and it has prompted me to take a hands on approach to my photography. i have been researching newborn photography, taking notes and looking for inspiration. though i suspect that when that baby comes i will be more interested in getting my hands on that bundle of joy then i will be in putting to practice any learning.
my hands have been busy knitting!! yes, the soeur who has been adamant that "this is not a knitting blog" has picked up the sticks and string (love that expression). i am knitting a baby blanket of tiny little squares, i've finished a scarf and a hat (with kath's help). i hate to admit it but i am enjoying it immensely.
i am living life with both hands.

Can't wait for this baby, it or he or she will be my eighth great grandchild and I am as excited as if it were the first. Keep knitting Mom

Love your mother's comment!! I love that you have picked up the sticks and string and that you are loving it! (great expression). You have your hands full and when the baby arrives you'll be so busy holding and cuddling you'll think of nothing else! How exciting for you all. I expect we will be seeing some amazing baby photography...can't wait!

There has to be something about working with our hands that provides a meditation that helps relieve pain and stress .... I love the polaroid feel colours of this photo.
