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.





I'm posting early today because it's the Superbowl.  Now don't think for one single second that I care about the Superbowl, you know, the game itself.  I care about the food we will be sharing with friends who are coming over.  I know I am only interested in the commercials and the half time show, and maybe some other folks do as well.  My husband cares, really cares about the game if it's close, if it's a blowout well then he cares a little less.


My weekend was "deer" themed.  Everywhere I turned there was a deer staring at me.  And they are bold!  I was lucky to get some photos while they stared me down, daring me to snap the camera.  Friday night was dinner in because of my husband's crazy work schedule, he wanted to not go anywhere.

Saturday was a whole day at home as well.  I did some knitting and reading.  We watched a few more episodes of Merlin while multitasking.  I added a few more inches onto that big blanket.  Oh, thanks for all the lovely compliments about the blanket.  I am going to try really hard to enjoy the process.


How was your weekend?

    I spent a lot of time finishing my cardigan over the weekend and made it just before it got too dark to take at least a hasty photo. I did my first steek and then I had to put in the zipper and do lots of details. Now I am really glad to just lie back and do nothing...

    Went walking Saturday morning and this morning. Got lots of laundry done, some knitting, some smallish home projects... Feels like we got quite a bit accomplished this weekend. I don't really care about the game tonight either, like you, I'm in it for the commercials. ;-)

    Just look at all your deer! It looks like a wildlife retreat!
    I hope you are having a great time tonight and that you don't
    stay up too late! Have fun.

    I also just like the halftime show. We missed it while driving ...so I checked it it online once we got to our hotel. Don't tell, but Chris Martin is so handsome.

    How wonderful to see so many deer up close in the wild. I hope you had a wonderful time watching the superbowl (or maybe it was more the food & friends aspects). As a European that whole event is a little alien to me. I've had a pretty relaxing weekend, reading, working on cross stitch and going for a swim.

    Just remember, the best part about making a blanket is that it keeps you warm while you are working on it!

    Love the deer. Our weekend was hawk themed. One in our congested suburb on my fence. The next day the carnage was all over the yard. Circle of life. I knit two hats this weekend. One for a friends daughter ha

    we super-bowled with friends, too, and I had a really really hard time watching the game. No one there cared a lick. Fortunately, it was a pretty lousy game.

    Saturday was busily prepping for New Year and Sunday was an oink fest.

    Love it when the deer come in the yard. Yeah, not very interested in the game this year. Lots of good food though.

    I can't believe how fall like your area looks still. Are you guys getting some of the cold and snow we are getting this week? I sure hope so!

    Your peaceful photos are a contrast to what I’m sure was a roaring time on Sunday. ;-)

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).
