Weekends



My Weekend

celebrating husband's birthday - all the kids arriving for the weekend
awaiting an impending snowstorm - flurries off and on
carrot cake - chocolate - yarn winding
settling on a new sweater pattern (yay!) - tons of laundry
tons of dishes - a wintry walk with Frodo and family
hot tea in a favorite mug - planning the busy week ahead
creating a snowstorm-back-up plan for the week


How was your weekend?

    My weekend was a good one. I cooked...I baked (in the Instant Pot nonetheless)...I crocheted (finished the blue/white baby blanket and started another pink one!)...and the most fun of all we shared Saturday afternoon/evening/Sunday morning with our College Guy grandson! Then we had church this morning...but with our snow and low temps hubby said we are staying in tonight...which is fine by me.

    Great so far. I've been knitting and relaxing with a new book. That yarn is very pretty. Carrot cake and chocolate... yum !

    A long overdue haircut, two brisk walks, trying a new yoga studio, playing with some new recipes - it was lovely.

    Your weekend sounds lovey. Happy Birthday to your husband and glad the kids could come. My weekend was lovely - knitting, seeing our son's and his girlfriend's new house and then taking them out to dinner, grocery shopping (the store was mobbed - panic mode for the impending storm - lol) and cooking.

    Toured a distillery, bought lots of bourbon, spent the night with our Elder, hiked to see waterfalls, drove to visit a friend with a wine bar, bought lots of wine, drove home, crashed in our bed, spent Sunday with the Younger celebrating Hubster's Bday for the 3rd time in 1 weekend. I'm still tired!

    I forgot what we did. Seriously. Oh I know I went in the hot tub once. I know I finished a sweater.

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).
