Weekends



This weekend contained:

-a lot of alone time-my husband had a business trip that gave me a few days alone with Frodo.
-finally finally remembering to walk in the afternoon, I missed walking so much that my body screamed it needed some fitness.
-eating leftovers so I would not have to cook
-my birthday!!  (which is today)
-my husband returning home in time for my birthday :)
-a cheap dinner picked up at the grocery store along with mini cupcakes.
-watching two Harry Potter movies (4+5) so that the boring stockinette knitting of my husband's sweater would go faster in my mind.

    Those weekends alone can be both so very lonely, but also the perfect time to get things done without distraction! Sounds like you had a wonderful birthday celebration!

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...

  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).
