    The cake is adorable!! Sounds like you had the perfect Easter weekend with family. We spent lots of time outside this weekend. Went golfing with friends, worked in the yard, some of the kiddos went into the (for me way too cold) pool to splash around and we also had our neighbor over for lunch on Easter. It was a great weekend!

    I know what you mean about the 'return' to healthy eating. We seem to have enough chocolate here to open a shop! Love the cake. Such a happy looking bunny!

    Cute cake! Was it tasty? Our Easter was filled with song, 3 services yesterday and 1 on Friday evening. In between we squeezed in a visit with the local GK, an altogether great weekend!

    Such a cute cake! We ate wedding cake and a whole lotta other crap this weekend. I must get back to healthy eating as well! It sounds like your weekend was just as busy as ours was! Enjoy your week.

    Oh that cake is wonderful. I'm especially glad that you had sunshine and family.

    We had lots of family time and fun too. Lots of sun but lots of wonderful rain too and thunderstorms last night. We haven't had one for ages and it was really cosy to be indoors.

    So cute! I too loved having a three day weekend. Extra time with family and a daytrip to the museum since we had the extra day!

    Totally brilliant cake!

    My weekend was spent trying to discover if the carpet beetle we found under a window had just flown in or was the first sign of an infestation (eugh!). Having sorted through every textile in the house over the four day long weekend here I can report, exhaustedly, that the little blighter was thankfully travelling alone. Phew!

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 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).
