Weekends


My weekend:

-We did more shopping for the fall season with both kids going off to school.  All the clothes shopping is done, hurray!
-We discovered that Frodo is actually Houdini in disguise.  More securing the compound.....
-My husband and I went out for ice cream, both kids out and about, a sign of our quiet future.
-I massively cleaned bathrooms, bedrooms and the guest room became a dumping ground for dorm/apartment shopping.
-My sister and her family are visiting next weekend -I have to clean the guest room!!
-More knitting and my daughter picked up her knitting (smile!)
-I helped her also piece together a quilt she started last year.  The goal is to have it all quilted by next week so my sister can help with the binding....
-I bought another knitting magazine and flipped through it and found a couple patterns that might be in my future.

    Sounds like a wonderful weekend! My home schooled daughter is at camp nine to three every day this week... it's like when she was at school. I don't know what to do with myself! Good luck as you enter this new phase of life!

    Those productive weekends feel so good - especially when there's ice cream!

My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn .   Now I want to read it again. -Oh!

So I wound up about six skeins of yarn and have three projects ready -started a cowl for me in fall colors (I hope to finish before fall ends) -enjoying Spirits of Joy .  Hannah graciously had a one day free sign up for her birthday at the end of September which I luckily saw on Twitter.  Than

  Good morning to you! How are you? I'm excited about my hat that I've been knitting enjoying the sea of stockinette stitches. When I first started the hat I thought it would be too small, now I wonder if it will be too big. Gah. I will find out soon I guess. I wish the photo about showed how beautiful the colors are in real life, you'll have to trust me on this! Below is my next knitting project, the habitation throw . I will definitely use the pink and gray, I'm still not sure about that purple, I might have a look-see in my stash and do another ponder about that color. I chose this pattern because I can use up some of my stash and I adore Helen Stewart's patterns. What are you working on this week? Also: I will probably not be posting this Friday and the following Monday because of my family visiting. I hope to be back next Wednesday (unless I change my mind).
