Weekends

 

Good morning! How was your weekend?

Mine was boring and you know how I love the simple everyday comings and goings of ordinary living. I pulled out my watercolor paints because Kat and my sister have both been painting up a storm. It was nice to get back into dabbling. Thanks for the inspiration you two!

Saturday I started a blanket with 'vintage' wool and on Sunday I ripped it all out. It was TOO rustic for my taste. I was hoping the drape of the fabric would win out but the scratchiness was just unforgiving. My husband's sock is coming along and I've put many more rows on my blue sweater.

On Sunday was had a fantastic rainstorm with thundering. All the plants got watered for free.

  1. It was hot and dry over the weekend, but it is finally raining here and I'm absolutely thrilled! We've only had 1/4" so far but I'll take anything we get. I thought about going outside to dance in the rain, but maybe not today. :-)

  3. We got some blessed rain Sunday evening. No thunder but lots of wind with it. I am working on crocheted prayer shawls. Your water color is pretty.

  5. Love your watercolours! I am thinking I’ll be doing a bit of dabbling again this weekend myself. “Vintage” wool is such a tough thing to work with. I have a shawl that is just a bit too scratchy to wear, and it’s such a shame because it’s so pretty.

  7. It sounds like that "vintage" yarn needs to find another home. Your watercolor is so pretty. Have a great week.

  8. Your watercolor art is beautiful. I'm with you - a scratching blanket would not be one I would enjoy. Glad you got some rain. We got some on Saturday and would really like more, although there was a lot of flash flooding in the southern part of our state. I hope you have a good week. See you again soon. :-)

  10. Your art work is beautiful. Maybe that yarn needs a new home. We had a nice quiet weekend. How's that sweater coming?

  11. Our weekend, even though it was our anniversary, was a bit sad because we had to say goodbye to our kitty last Thursday. She'd been with us for 16 years, and our house doesn't seem the same, but at least she's no longer suffering. Love your watercolors!

  12. Is that knitting you're showing there what you ripped out?? If so, I think it's lovely...but I can't feel it. Maybe it is too itchy.
