Weekends


My Easter weekend was filled with:

-travels and traffic jams
-family visiting-lots of them
-a sister outing including lunch and shopping
-car knitting (the endless lace edging bind off of this project)
-75% done with that bind off!!!
-potato salad, tossed salad, green beans, asparagus, deviled eggs, olives, turkey, shrimp, cole slaw
-almond cake, lamb cake that was mostly icing!, krispy squares, chocolate and jelly beans
-laughing, talking, sharing, enjoying, and being in the moment
-Easter vigil Mass
-sunshine on Saturday and rain on Sunday

How was your weekend?

    Sounds lovely. I so miss the Vigil Mass - I can't wait until the kidlets are big enough to go (or we have a good babysitter!)

    Sounds awesome! What a cake, too. But I agree cutting it up would be hard. A lamb head on my plate would make me cry. ; )

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).
