Weekends

 


Hello! How are you?

We are having a lovely time with our grandchildren and have one more day with them before it ends. We’ve had dinners out and adventurous walks. The weather has been beautiful and warm. 

How was your weekend?

    We kept our grand daughter over night Saturday... she wore us out! LOL! She does not stop for anything. I didn't get much knitting done this weekend that's for sure. Glad you are enjoying your time with your grands!

    When I saw the picture my first thought was that there were grandchildren present. I love (and miss) having all of my grandchildren's toys around. :) Our youngest grandchild started college this fall.

    My weekend was full of knitting, reading, and baseball ... which will be just like yours when those grandkids are a bit older - ENJOY!

    How fun! Grandkids are such blessings. We got to spend time with our youngest grand this weekend. She is 18 soon to turn 19! Where did the years go?

    It was SUPER RAINY this weekend... regular "atmospheric river." I went out and did a sign painting workshop with a friend and then went out for dinner and a play. Spent the rest of the weekend lazing around!

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!

  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).
