Weekends


My weekend started off with getting ready for my sister and her family to arrive.  Potato salad (yum) was made, rice salad was made and chicken was marinating in Newman's Lime salad dressing for the grill.  Everyone arrived safely and the visiting commenced!!  We ran to the LYS and of course I bought yarn and of course I started ANOTHER knitting project and of course the sweater is for me.    We had such a good time being out :)  

Saturday we shopped for new purses, you know the basic necessities.  I found a great basic black bag that my camera can fit inside so the next time I am out I will not be wishing I had my camera.  It happens more and more.  For dinner we had baked potatoes, corn on the cob, steak and shrimp on the grill with a tossed salad.  

Before you knew it, Sunday arrived and we where saying goodbye to each other.  

All day Sunday my daughter packed for school and I occasionally mentioned "do you have _______?"  (I am an excellent supervisor or a back seat driver).

As a special ending of a fabulous weekend, we spent 45 minutes of our lives looking for Frodo.  Yes, he escaped AGAIN!! He crawled under a part of the fence that is not boarded up (yet-another project for this week).  When he is wet from the rain he obtains super dog powers!!!!  Meaning he is slippery and can squeeze that body through anything.  Anyways, he was in our woods not obeying the "Frodo come" command.

    Sounds like a splendid weekend! I am sorry Frodo escaped. It seems our little dog always finds the most inopportune moment to take off too!

    Darn that Frodo! He is so determined isn't he! I'm glad he was found safe.

    What a wonderful weekend -- too bad it was not longer.

    Glad you had a great time with your sister and you were able to shop for the important things in life. Having yarn and the right purse really does make the day better! ;) Good luck with keeping Frodo contained..a regular little escape artist! xx

    What a lovely weekend! Can't wait to see your next project. Now, about that naughty Frodo...he doesn't wear a special ring or cloak or anything, does he? ;-) Magic powers, indeed!

    Oh Frodo... What are we going to do with you?

    I'm glad you enjoyed your visit with your sister. I know she'll be back if you fed her like that. Heck, want to adopt a sister? ;)

    Blessings, Debbie

    The purse sounds versatile - great idea to have your camera on hand. Have a magical weekend. Frodo sounds hilarious. Katie x

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! I finished the socks!! 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

Knitting News

  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).
