Weekends



My weekend contained:

-lots and lots of time in the car!  We drove to see my side of the family and then we had to get the kids back to their schools.
-pulling out the decorations and decorating the main floor for the holidays.
-being very achy and sore from all the decorating (I refuse to believe it is my age!).
-running a dishwasher because of having a full house.
-making more fingerless mitts for my husband and son.  Almost done!!!
-reorganizing my knitting corner because of the Christmas tree.
-another wonderful afternoon with my knitting friends.
-going to Mass with the new Roman Missal being implemented....really was no big deal to me.

    I wondered what the new Mass would be like. Mind, I haven't been to Mass in…oh, more than 25 years now, I'd say. Except a few weddings and funerals. But I wondered how different it would be from what I remember as a child… xo

    There is just no way you can be sore from your age, you are just too young to even consider such a thought!
    I have started to decorate, but still have a ways to go; at least I found the advent wreath and were I hid the candles so it's all good!

    You sure managed to squeeze in a full weekend, in spite of all the car (knitting!!!) time! Love the old-fashion-y look of your tablecloth. So home-y!

    Ooo, Christmas decorating! We wait until after the birthday next week. Hard to believe it's that time already!
    Hope you got lots of knitting down during all that car time!

    Sore?!! I want to see your decorations, I bet they are awesome. We chose not to put up lights this year as we just didn't want to add to the chore of packing, but now seeing every one else's, I am having 2nd thoughts!
    And knitting, ahh how soothing it is just to read about someone else knitting! Glad you found the time...

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).
