Weekends

 


Overall my weekend was nice. My weekend was filled with:

-reorganizing art and journaling supplies - playing Christmas music -  journaling - thinking of family - walks - knitting (always knitting) - reading Fred Roger's biography - eating all the leftovers from Thursday - daydreaming - wishing for snow - finally witnessing the first hard frost (my fall allergies are thankful) - contemplating new knitting projects - online Christmas shopping

How was your weekend?

    Glad you had a nice weekend, it sounds perfect. The only thing I accomplished was getting my Christmas shopping done, all online. Other than that and cooking some nice meals it was just a nice lazy weekend :)

    Sounds like you spent your weekend well. Yes - thinking of family and thinking of family. Organizing my supplies always makes me feel better. Your projects are so neat and tidy in that basket. Once I get all the gifts mailed I plan to do some organizing. My study is more jumbled than I like just now.

    I just got Fred Roger's biography the other day. I will be very interested in seeing what you think of it. I love how organized you are. It has been cold here, but no rain or snow and we need some. Hope you have a good week.

    My daughter was home for the week of Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful time. I decorated our tree and did some knitting. I haven’t had much time in my art journal. I do draw/doodle ever day but not much more than that. I hope you are enjoying your HP sprocket. I have one and find if lots of fun.

    Nice! I ate a lot (and I do mean a lot!!) on Thursday and then leftovers (my favorite part). Last night we had turkey soup. I managed some on line shopping too. Your project bag is so cute - love the bicycle rider with an umbrella!

    I slept for 11 hours after Thanksgiving. I was pooped. We had one and a half meals of leftovers so that was nice.

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).
