Weekends



This weekend was filled with:

-going to a local fair and not riding this ride :)
-eating not very good for you food
-enjoying every single glorious bite, especially funnel cake
-being thrilled with the cooler temps even if it does rain a little
-company!  my brother in law and sister in law are visiting for a long weekend
-talking and talking
-my sis in law DOES knit so we talk about knitting and we do knitting
-brief chats with each kid because everyone is busy-I'm amazed at how quickly we can catch up in a five minute phone call!
-apple crisp

how was your weekend?

    Oh, I love that ride! Or I used to, anyway. I'll bet it would do funny things to my stomach, these days… I am jealous of your company; we haven't had any overnight visitors since we moved here & I love hosting friends and family so much. Hopefully a few folks will be in over the next month to make up for it. So glad you had such a lovely weekend & hope your week is just as nice! xo

    Sounds like a great weekend. We hit a fall fair this weekend too. We looked at the rides, but didn't go on, and we stayed away from the food :)

    My sister in law knits too, always great to chat and knit together.

    Enjoy your week.

    I am so glad you enjoyed your funnel cakes, they are one of my favorites too. It has been pouring here for hours and I am seeing temperatures at 73 degrees, not wool weather yet, but at least it's cooler.
    Have a wonderful visit with your family.

    A fair and some funnel cakes...such fun in the fall. Our temps here in Arizona were still in the triple digits this weekend, but we have faith they will fall one day! Cooler days sound wonderful! Enjoy the week ahead!

    Wow sounds fun-filled...I was with one of my sister-in-law's whose also my best friend this weekend and we both knit which was lovely too...especially as i've actually started my Annabel.

    Hope the rest of the week has as many highs!

    Your weekend sounds a lot like mine! Isn't fair food yummy? I have to admit that I pay the next day because my tummy rebels a bit. And like you - I did NOT go on any scary rides.

    Your weekend sounds wonderful. Definitely not riding that ride and oh yes I miss funnel cakes!! It's so great you have a knitting partner in your family. I am enjoying the cooler weather too; I am trying to hold off on turning on the heat.

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).
