Weekends


Hello!  Another weekend has come and gone, I hope yours was delightful!  We visited our daughter and son in law in Delaware on Saturday and had a fantastic time.  I didn't take photos while we were together but I've managed to document some of my quiet moments.

I worked only on my hat as photoed above.  I love the fair isle knitting portion immensely. 


Above is my grand-kitty named 'Meiko' but they call her 'kitty'.  She is around 8-9 years old and they adopted her a year ago (ish).  She is a very vocal kitty!

Our Saturday was a ton of shopping where I bought another paint set and some used books.  We had a lovely dinner at a Thai restaurant then came back to their place for birthday cake, even though my birthday is later this month.

I need a detox from the sugar consumption!!


Sunday morning we went to Kennet Square to a craft/antique market and I found my very favorite new mug!  Moose and yarn!  We didn't have time to explore the town since we were on our way home, but that is definitely on my to-do list next time I go for a visit.


I picked up Frodo from the kennel last night and he is sporting a much shorter mustache after his grooming.  He had so many tangles that it was necessary to be extreme in the cutting.  He looks so dapper.


Frodo was sleeping on the couch and Holly was hiding under the loveseat, this is the two of them being together.  Much to my surprise. Holly snuggled up next to her beloved while Frodo snuggled up to me, in the same room.  Whenever we arrive back from any trip, they both act like they haven't seen us in forever.



My daughter and son in law bought me a skein of yarn (YAY) a plush Holly look-alike and not in the photo - a new art pen that lines like a dream.


How was your weekend?

    Oh that plush kittie is so cute!!!! And the real pets, are adorable also.

    Lovely weekend. No need for lots of photos. Me'thinks we tend to spend way too much of our time, peering at life, through some form of picture taking "machine." Which seems silly, when we stop and think about it.

    Memories are so much nicer. -smile-

    Quiet weekend here, just as we prefer them to be.

    What a lovely weekend you have had. I love your new mug. Frodo is looking very dapper. I had a quiet weekend in bed resting with laryngitis, waiting for my voice to make its slow return now.

    Sounds like a great weekend. I am happy that you spent time with your family (the best) love your new mug. The hat is looking great. How fun it will be to wear during the gray days of winter. Our weekend was quiet - catching up from our travels. Church and coffee on Sunday. A pot of soup on Saturday.

    Are you still painting with watercolors? I LOVE seeing your art! ... and your animals. Frodo does look quite dapper with his haircut and how wonderful that he and Holly can co-exist more peacefully these days.

    Sounds like it was a perfect weekend! We had our daughter and husband home for a visit, along with one of their close friends. We took a ride out to the countryside and had a lovely lunch at our favorite wine bar. It was a perfect autumn weekend!

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).
