Hello!
One of those thing was mailing a package to Lime and Violet. Now hold your excitement because this train crashed big time! I was so anxious to get the package out that I mailed it to Miss V's old address. I've done everything I possibly can but it seems to be gone forever, no news. However, I do have a picture of everything I sent... I'll show you all and you can pretend I'm sending it to you?! Maybe you can "sqwee"? I went a little overboard and sent all of this PLUS a set of XMas cards. I'm heartbroken over the loss of the teddy bear sweater notebook and the vamp sachet. I can't listen or look at anything L+V anymore without getting sick to my stomach because I botched this whole thing so badly.

So that didn't help pull me out of my depression at all did it?! Okay, okay,
DON'T LOSE FAITH IN ME! KEEP READING IT GETS BETTER!
DON'T LOSE FAITH IN ME! KEEP READING IT GETS BETTER!
The fact that I am blogging at all is PROOF that it got better that's for SURE! Not without a few more little bumps in the road, I finally started seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

One of my favorite things to knit these days are socks. So I knew this would be the key to my renewed happiness. I spun myself 300 yards (8.4 ounces!) of sock yarn that I am knitting into knee socks for little ol me. Andddd I started a Knit Along in Laila's Ravelry Group for knitting handspun socks that Kelley Petkun herself joined! Now THAT cheered me up BIGTIME. All my friends are in the KAL too it seems to be a hit! Oh, and my socks are coming out lovely... I'll share pictures of the progress later.
If you're not in the Knit Along and think you'd enjoy handspun sock knitting please come join us, you're TOTALLY invited. XOXO

Next in my journey to glee, my husband's prizes arrived. Yes, prizes. He won a contest at work and got to pick out prizes. (An ipod touch, a steam vac, and Aero Garden) Jerome let me pick out an Aero Garden!! No, they're NOT cheesey!!! Don't sayyyy that! haha. Anyway... I LOVE it I had no idea it could do so much. The Aero Garden inspired me to finish cleaning my studio... which inspired me to clean a LOT of other things. Before ya know it, I was living in a spotless heavenly, serene, peaceful place. (Told you it gets good!!)

I'm growing herbs in the Aero.

The light and the soothing water noises it makes are so nice. *Smile* I felt confident enough to cook a meal which I paired with some of our favorite beer from The Lancaster Brewing Company.

So now after the self imposed rehab of all things good stuffs, it's November 10th, 2009 I'm officially not depressed anymore. I pampered myself, I even painted my nails. My husband and I are finally getting along (he finally reordered a new wedding band - it's been lost allllll year), there's no pests in the house, everything is clean, I feel like I'm getting things done - things don't seem so HARD. Oh! and my Etsy shop is doing fabulous which is helping me save a little money! *grin*

Feeling really good for real this time.
Hope you're all well too!
But if you're not well, I hope my misery escape plan inspires you to make your own!
Love,
Rachel-Marie

Hasn't this year completely sucked?
It sure is good to see the light at the end of the tunnel, I certainly wasn't sure if I was ever going to get out of it.
If you ever want to talk I'm here for you.
I love the sock idea. One day, maybe one day I can try socks. I just learned how to decrease & increase, whooo! I know what it is to see the light at the end of the tunnel & laugh again.
Take care and keep smiling!
