Weekends



I LOVE THIS MUG!   Okay, I feel so much better now that I got that out of my system.  My weekend was fabulous, and it was filled with:

-going to a fiber festival in northern PA
-going with my knitting friends
-seeing this locally made mug and having to buy it-my tea tastes even better than ever in it!
-ideas for my next post to share all the fun photos I snapped
-going to church and embracing the silence and calmness that happens
-starting a new project (not with yarn I bought)
-loving the signs of fall-everywhere I look I see leaves falling, turning colors :)
-a walk with Frodo
-talks with closing the pool this very week

How was your weekend?

    Oh I love your mug too and I bet your tea tastes awesome! I was just telling Mike that I would love to have a wheel and kiln, maybe one day.
    How exciting to go to a fiber festival and I can't wait to see all the photos. I have never been to a fiber festival and they don't have them anywhere close to were I live :(

    I how much better a cup of tea tastes when you have a new mug that you love :) Enjoy!

    Looking forward to the pictures from the fiber festival, I have never been to one...maybe it is time.

    Yay for fall in the air, we can feel up here too and I am so ready for it.

    Wishing you a lovely week.

      sorry-can't figure how to post regular, so I'm replying...anyhow. Just wondering where your fiber fest was??? I have an old mug with a crack that was always Mom's Mug! I think it's time for a new one! And I've never been to Hemlock Lake, but I'm going this Saturday!! Looked at the calendar and realized it's this week and not next!!
      please post pictures if you took them.

    Yes, I love your mug too :-)

    Our weekend was sun-drenched with bike rides and walks and a special visit form my nephew.

    Have a lovely mug-filled week.

    Oh, I would love to be able to make something like that mug. Wouldn't that be great? Best to stick to knitting though I think! I love the sound of a fiber festival! Can't wait to hear more. Hope your having a lovely week. :)

    I love that mug! I have one very similar and it just makes me happy to drink out of it. Fiber festival sounds like fun! We still have a couple of months till our next big one around here.

    Hand made mugs are the best. They just feel better and make whatever you're drinking taste better. I woke up to fifty-five degree weather this morning - YES! Pulled out the cowboy boots...I am a happy woman now ;)

    I am a true believer in a mug making all of the difference with a cup of coffee or tea. I've used the same pottery mugs for my morning coffee since my husband (at the time, boyfriend) bought for me over 15 years ago! The coffee just tastes better...I get it!

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! How are you? How was your weekend? I had a great weekend but I didn't take any great photos. I've been wrapping presents a little bit each day instead of doing it all in one massive long day. This has made a difference in my joy as I wrap. Do you wrap all at once? Or do you do a little bit at a time? Miss Holly has been finding the sun spots and getting her 'tan' going. She is a sweetie. I have no idea what she is watching outside that window. She does that every day. My guess is probably birds or chipmunks but chipmunks should be resting now that it's super cold outside. Sadly I did not take any photos of my knitting, but I have been knitting! I continue to work on my husband's hat and I ripped out a pair of mitts I started (couldn't see the dark yarn with cabling) and started a much simpler pattern instead. Sunday was church then the laundry. I am getting excited for the upcoming holidays. The kids are coming back with the grandchildren and...
