Weekends





Weekends are for memory making, 
relaxing and enjoying quiet moments of our days.  
If you would like, please share your weekend moments 
in the comment section with a link to your blog.


This was a not travel stay at home weekend and was much needed.  I:

-ate out at my one of my favorite places for dinner with my husband
-squeezed in two walks nearly every day getting a little sad knowing the time change next week will end the after dinner walks
-prepared more yarn into balls for my last holiday knitting
-gathered with friends and shared a meal, enjoying our friendship
-savored a meal made by my husband, curry, rice, dal and a surprise vegetarian samosa!
-I enjoyed my meal but the dishes.....oh my goodness....
-evenings were knitting away on my gift projects
-spying the red fox in our neighborhood once more-no camera shot.....yet!


How was your weekend?

    Sounds like a cosy weekend. Mine wasn't terribly exciting either but it was good. Inspired by your Weekends post, I wrote about my happy moments last week...

    It seems like you did quite a bit of my favourite thing ever...eating, this weekend. I did my fare share of eating too and caught up with lots of reading, watched my nephews acting debut and was treated to a lovely little tree. So even though the garden is looking a bit like a builders yard at the moment I have some nice pots at the front of the house to play with.

    Lots of good things! How lucky your hubby is such a wiz in the kitchen! Our weekend seemed to fly by and I can't believe it's Monday already. Friday evening I went out for a bit with a friend while the girls were at the last high school football game. Saturday we went to a friends house to watch football and just enjoy each other's company. Yesterday we just piddled around the house, got a few things done but also squeezed in a movie and some knitting. All in all a very good weekend.

    Sounds like a great weekend! I would be interested in knowing what is your favorite restaurant up in your area since I travel up that way a few times a year.

    I think vacations at home are the best.
    My mouth dropped open when I saw your photo; Karen, your yarn is so pretty and I know you will create something amazing with it.
    We use to have a fox, but I haven't seen him in years. I never did get a photo of him :(
    Have a great, great week,

    Your weekend sounds perfect! I agree husbands tend to make big messes in the kitchen. And although my husband will cook, I sometimes wonder if the trade off is worth it :)))))

    we worked around the homestead. I finished a crochet project and started another. Your weekend sounds wonderful!
    I will be happy when it is dark early and I can cozy down with a project and not think of all the things that need to be done. :)

    I was caught completely by surprise by the clocks this weekend, it's so strange that most of the clocks seem to know before I do! A stay at home weekend for us to... http://adeolainwonderland.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/weekending_27.html

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...

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).
