Weekends



We met up with my sister and brother in law for a weekend in a cabin in the woods.  We did this last year and had so much fun that we made sure to schedule it in this year.  My weekend was

-very cold! but I loved it so much
-a hat-mitt-shawl wearing weekend
-s'mores, they are calorie free when eating them in a cabin, just so you know
-eating meals on the grill
-taking in the scenery while hiking
-discovering flea market finds
-knitting with my sister
-seeing both my son and my daughter while traveling to and from the cabin
-a cozy fireplace sitting and chatting and enjoying everyone's company
-once again carrying my camera and capturing nature's beauty

How was your weekend?

    That sounds like SO much fun! And you even got to see the kids as a bonus.

    I'm so very glad you had a lovely time :-)

    Our weekend was rainy, oh-so-rainy, but I had some time in town just with my lovely eldest daughter which was quite magical. However my usual bicycle ride time with my son was cancelled due to... rain! Oh well, I made him a hot chocolate with marshmallows instead.

    Have a good week.

    Smores are also calorie free in front of a fire pit...right? Sounds like a lovely weekend. Send some of that cold weather this way please.

    Sounds like a fabulous weekend. I kind of wish it had been cooler in the mountains so we could have had a fire. As it was we had the slider door open because it was just too warm!

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...

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).
