Weekends

 

Well would you look at that! Snow! I'd say it's about six inches or so and we are still getting some more. Luckily for me I have a warm house and all the knitting. How was your weekend?

I enjoyed lots of reading and knitting and cross stitching. My sister and brother in law came over for dinner Friday night and we played a few rounds of a board game. Saturday morning I was out with my sister doing some shopping (nothing exciting was bought). I'm enjoying being a homebody as I do whenever I travel and come home. 

How was your weekend?

    It's very pretty as long as you don't have to drive in it or shovel it! My weekend was full of communications with our real estate agent (good), snow, sleet, and freezing rain (not so good).

    The snow looks so pretty. I always loved being outside when it was falling. Everything got so quiet and peaceful. It was one if my favorites times living in PA.

    Your snow looks beautiful. We had some...then rain which washed it all away...now a little snow again. Messy to say the least. My weekend was good - filled with meeting up with Dee, knitting and stitching and reading. All the good things!

    So glad you get to get together a lot with your sister and brother-in-law. That is great. My sisters live so far away, so I don't see or hear from them often. You sure have a lot of snow and it is beautiful as long as you can stay warm inside and just look out at it. Our snow is all gone and I don't know if we will even get any more. No snow in the forecast here. Have a great week. Enjoy staying close to home. We are being homebodies this week too and school has gone online for a week. See you again soon.

    That's pretty much how our backyard looked a couple of weeks ago. Very nice to look at but also very nice to be able to stay home. Hope it melts soon like ours did! Until then, get lots of knitting done.

    Yeah for snow, and yeah for snow for you. Now that I am aware that you have moved, I missed that bit of your life not blog reading much last year. I know how much you yearned for snow at your old house. I am glad to hear that you had a homebody weekend, they are always good ones. I was busy being ill, I spent all weekend in bed. I am feeling much better now but on the slow, gentle road to recovery.

    Your snow is so pretty. We had blizzard conditions for about 45 minutes then sleet for an hour or two then massive, massive amounts of rain. Glad you had pretty things to stitch.

    Look at all that snow! Katie's in-laws an hour north of us had a similar view yesterday morning. Thankfully, we didn't!

    I am very happy to stay in and nap, and tidy up and knit. Fireman is much busier by nature . i have convinced him to try to nap and fezzik a1ways comes a1ong. I miss the barn and the good use of our time but we cannot chance any horse spooking and causing us to fa11. FIreman's just hearing now and a set back would be devastating
    I remind myself that by doing nothing, I' am actua11y doing something.

    The snow is beautiful. We had a little last Friday but it's mostly melted by today. Quiet weekend here - we are sticking close to home because of the Omicron surge. I finished plying a little handspun yarn and mended an old quilt.

    I think it's so neat how snow piles up like that, the shape of what it sits upon. I haven't cross stitched in ages, but of course these are detailed and big patterns.

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).
