Happenings

 

Hello! How are you doing?

This past week the temperatures dropped and it felt like early spring. I loved it because I do not like to be hot. All the early summer flowers are blooming in my yard, the views are spectacular. I babysat the kids on Friday night with the help of my aunt. We had a fun time and they were good. I also went to their house on Saturday afternoon and sat while they napped so that their parents could run some errands.

It's been a rough time the past three-four days because the antibiotic I was on (which I have finished on Saturday morning, thank goodness) caused severe nausea. I haven't felt that queasy since pregnancy. It was absolutely awful. In between bouts of nausea I managed to knit a little bit and get some laundry done.

I think I'm better now, I am definitely not worse! Yesterday I took a walk, first time in months and I snapped these photos. I enjoyed being in the fresh air and seeing the neighborhood. I might just go for another walk today. My seasonal allergies are mainly tree pollen and that has subsided quite a lot.

I will scale back my exercising routine until I feel 100% better. Of course, I continue to knit the christening blanket every chance I get.

    Your weigela looks amazing! Mine is in full bloom as well and it is just a riot of pink out my kitchen door! I hope you continue to feel better! (and your rabbit is just adorable!)

    Glad you are finished with that antibiotic. That must have been awful. My allergies seem to have lessened a bit as well. We had more rain and wind over the weekend...how tiresome! What a sweet little bunny.

    Between the grandkids, feeling bad, and the antibiotic you've been busy! I hope things are on a more even keel and stay that way.

    I hope you feel better soon and have a good week. Nausea is no fun! I'm glad you finished the antibiotic. There are some antibiotics I get a lot of nausea with too. See you again soon!

    With the exception of the severe nausea, your weekend sounds like fun! Your pictures are absolutely beautiful, Karen. Praying for you that the nausea will soon be totally gone. Antibiotics certainly tear my stomach up.

    Oh the nausea doesn't sound like fun. Good that you no longer have to take the medication.

    Glad you are feeling better. Sometimes the "cure" just is not fun.

    I don't do well on antibiotics either. I am glad the worst is behind you and that you can get outdoors a bit. Walking outdoors is so good for mental and physical health. The flowers are beautiful.

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...

  Good morning! How are you doing? How are your projects coming along this week? I have made steady progress on two projects. First up is the christening blanket , I am on the second chart out of five charts (some are repeated...). Yay! As you can see in the photo I found another lace weight yarn in my basket that I completely forgot that I had and I believe when I run out of my first yarn I can use this second skein of wool and it will look nice. I am hoping it will be the edging, but I won't know until I run out.  Next up is the green baby blanket , I am over half way and it's very very exciting to know that. I keep working on this at night while watching tv shows.  I will see you all on Monday morning, I am going to relax and enjoy some days off from my space here.  So what are you working on this week?

  Good morning! How are you doing? How are your projects coming along? I continue to work on the christening blanket and have moved up another needle length. I'm on the third chart (of five) and am doing the second repeat of the third chart. I then have to go back to the second chart and repeat that one another four times.  I am focusing on yardage instead of chart completion because of the repeating charts and returning to charts I've finished. Each row now takes over 20 minutes! I am enjoying the knitting process and watching the patterns emerge. The grand baby is due at the end of September and I have high hopes that this will be done by then. What are you working on this week?
