    Coffee and books and twinkling lights. Ah! Have a quiet New Year. How is your son faring? My oldest had his wisdom teeth removed a few years ago. Once over the pain and swelling, it was smooth sailing...except he got sick of eating mashed potatoes, apple sauce, yogurts and smoothies. I did offer to make him some baby food, but it was a no-go!

    I have a big old coffee table in the living room, too! Wish mine looked like yours--there's a lot of living and loving displayed there!!!! (We pretty much didn't have much family around this holiday--what family was here, took all their stuff with them. I miss it!!!!)

    Wonderful! This is what our coffee table looks like most of the time, only usually it's a combo of toys, crayons, knitting and books!

Weekends

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...

Knitting News

  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).
