Weekends

 

Hello! How was your weekend?

My weekend was wonderful! On Saturday, my sister and I went out shopping to craft stores and spent some quality time together. In the afternoon, my husband and I went out as well to do a bit of shopping for 'boring' stuff. He needed some new rain boots for when he works outside. But it was quality time together!

I was woefully behind on laundry and got all caught up this weekend. That is a satisfying feeling and it's so nice to have shirts I want to wear as opposed to having to wear. It's a mindset.

After months of not painting, I pulled out my supplies and dabbled a bit. I also worked on my throw that is evolving on its own. I've added more colors since the photo. Now I'm trying to use up all of my scraps if that is possible. I do like the challenge.

Sunday morning we attended Mass, afterwards I rested by knitting and reading. It was a great day!

What did you do this weekend?

    Your throw is coming along nicely and your scrap colors look great. Holly looks like she's the Queen of the castle!

    Your weekend sounds lovely. Mine involved walking in the rain a Spidey and Friends Yahtzee with a four year old

    Sounds like a wonderful weekend to me. I got a lot done on one of my blankets and then became board with it so I picked up the knitting blanket. Time gets away form me when I have needles in my hands! LOL! Hope you have a great week!

    Sounds like a great weekend! I've been knitting, reading and working in the garden. And that was great too.

    Your weekend sounds lovely - filled with good things (and perhaps a slower pace than the previous weekend with the grands??). Holly is beautiful and looks like she is ruling the roost! Your Habitation Throw is going to be beautiful.

    Nothing like ordinary weekend days. I think the throw is going to be so pretty and as you knit you can remember the projects from some of those leftover yarns. I took a walk both days, read a bit, and knit a bit. Our weekend was also quiet.

    I love the purple color. The cat is really cute.

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).
