Weekends

 

What a glorious weekend!

I finished all the baby knitting (for now....). How exciting to cross off all the knitting goals. On Sunday, I started the baby birth sampler which should go smoothly. I can see the fabric (thanks Aida cloth!) and there's no silly backstitching.

The hot weather has ended for now. This morning it was chilly, yay. We are hosting a baby shower this coming weekend and so I have many lists going on at the same time trying to remember everything I want to do or buy before Friday. We also have a family reunion party on the weekend as well.


This weekend was all about BIG salads for dinner, sitting on the back patio and starting a new book - Beth Moore's memoir All My Knotted Up Life. I was super excited when the library hold email alerted me.

How was your weekend?

    How nice to have completed.the baby knits. I found out I need to start some baby knits for an upcoming great granddaughter! A cross stitch without backstitching would ve a dream come true for me too. Sounds like you will be plenty busy with the upcoming gatherings. Enjoy!

    The brief respite from the heat is such a welcome thing! Here is hoping for a week with moderate temperatures!

    I'm glad you met your baby knitting goals! I goofed off over the weekend so that means I have lots of laundry today. With no rain in the forecast at least it's a good drying day!

    I recently listened to the audio of Beth Moore's book and really liked it. Sounds like you have a busy week. Glad to hear your weather cooled off. We are having a cool and wet June. We had lots of thunderstorms during the early part of the weekend. I hope have a good week and accomplish all you need to for the baby shower! See you again soon!

    It has cooled off here too a bit, but I wish we would get some rain. Everything is so dry! Glad you accomplished all the knitting goals you set for yourself and I can't wait to see the sampler!

    Congrats on finishing the baby knitting, although I do wonder how long that will last. :) It's awfully difficult to stop knitting for a knititng worthy baby.

    It cooled off here last night after a storm blew through. almost didn't need the A/C today which was nice. LOVE all the knitting and the start of that sampler. Good luck with your lists this week! We have our grandson with us for two days because he broke his wrist and can't do the lacrosse camp his parents had planned. A trip to the library and ice cream after is all we have planned so far.

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

Hopefulness

Image
  Good morning! This week has been busy with classes and routine doctor appointments. The arthritis doctor has a few tricks up her sleeve for some of my dry mouth issues (from my autoimmune disease - Sjorgren's Syndrome) that make me feel hopeful. What was the most important thing during that doctor visit is that I felt seen and heard. I am thankful for her and her team. Speaking of hopefulness, look at my daffodils sprouting up! Some of the daffodils are just starting and some already have a head start. I love winter, but I'm looking forward to spring. The crocuses seem to be taking their time this year, as well as the snowdrops (unless those pesky deer have eaten them, grr). Even though I am still knitting my baby blanket, I have gathered four skeins of potential socks to be and am dreaming of a wonderful sock frenzy cast on.

New Year

  Good morning! How are you? Happy New Year, may this year be full of blessings to all of you. Well now, I finally have an empty home after having our son, daughter in law, grandson and granddaughter here for six nights.  I am still experiencing fatigue and symptoms from the virus even though I am feeling better. It was a challenge hosting family while recovering. Also we babysat the kids overnight (!!) while my son and daughter in law went for little getaway. I am thankful and grateful my Aunt came over both days to help out with the granddaughter who never sleeps during the day. (snack-naps do not count!). They all left early in the morning, and while I was tired, sleep deprived and fatigued, I put away Christmas plus all the toys and doodads you need for babies. Today I am looking at a squeaky clean house. I am planning on reading books and falling asleep while doing so! My exercise routine is on hold as I slowly get better. Maybe next week I can muster up some energy for some yoga
