Weekends




My weekend was quiet, nice and uneventful, just the way I like them.
My weekend contained:

reading books
knitting time with the purple cowl
finishing the wurm hat
shopping for watercolor paper and finding it
bookstore browsing
rotisserie chicken
pasta salad
ginger cookies
our son visiting
a bit of sketching and painting
day dreaming
knitting with friends

How was your weekend?

    You had a great one. Gingerbread cookies ! Now I want some. Yesterday I was a knitting couch potato. It felt good. I may do some of the same today...

    I bundled up and took a few walks, did some sewing and playing catch up around the house. It was nice not to be snow bound.

    Sounds like a very relaxing weekend, as was mine. I was a complete slug all weekend. Sat, knit, read, and watched it rain.

    Sounds like my kind of weekend! Sadly I was sick on Saturday, so I spent the day sleeping. On Sunday I was able to read a good book, so that was much better.

    Snowy, as in eight inches and blizzard conditions, but we didn't lose power. So I can also write we were warm but housebound. Soup, oatmeal raisin cookies - really I had to give some to the neighbor who helped us out with his giant snowblower on Sunday afternoon - knitting a mitten, and sewing a bit on a quilt.

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

Hopefulness

Image
  Good morning! This week has been busy with classes and routine doctor appointments. The arthritis doctor has a few tricks up her sleeve for some of my dry mouth issues (from my autoimmune disease - Sjorgren's Syndrome) that make me feel hopeful. What was the most important thing during that doctor visit is that I felt seen and heard. I am thankful for her and her team. Speaking of hopefulness, look at my daffodils sprouting up! Some of the daffodils are just starting and some already have a head start. I love winter, but I'm looking forward to spring. The crocuses seem to be taking their time this year, as well as the snowdrops (unless those pesky deer have eaten them, grr). Even though I am still knitting my baby blanket, I have gathered four skeins of potential socks to be and am dreaming of a wonderful sock frenzy cast on.

New Year

  Good morning! How are you? Happy New Year, may this year be full of blessings to all of you. Well now, I finally have an empty home after having our son, daughter in law, grandson and granddaughter here for six nights.  I am still experiencing fatigue and symptoms from the virus even though I am feeling better. It was a challenge hosting family while recovering. Also we babysat the kids overnight (!!) while my son and daughter in law went for little getaway. I am thankful and grateful my Aunt came over both days to help out with the granddaughter who never sleeps during the day. (snack-naps do not count!). They all left early in the morning, and while I was tired, sleep deprived and fatigued, I put away Christmas plus all the toys and doodads you need for babies. Today I am looking at a squeaky clean house. I am planning on reading books and falling asleep while doing so! My exercise routine is on hold as I slowly get better. Maybe next week I can muster up some energy for some yoga
