Weekend Recap

By -
* Sweet Emma Booshay, of Donna booshay's Quiet Life,
graduated from DePaul with her Masters degree in counseling. 
We were happy to be invited to join in the party to celebrate with her. 

*Also part of those joining her was Mary Z. 
  Mary Z reads Donna's blog and they are no longer pretend friends.  I felt like I knew Mary instantly.
Mary and Donna are all about their Fit Bits buzzing! 
I hope the ladies reach their goals together. 
Do you Fit Bit?

*The other parts of the weekend included:

*Casting on the same baby blanket that Pumpkin Sunrise just finished. 
*I don't have enough yardage and I don't like orange much.
*Contemplating buying Zara in a blue like Pumpkin used for hers.
*Hate to waste the orange...
*We all know what happens with a yarn color I don't enjoy....

 *it is the Garter Rib baby blanket free on Raverly.

*Hawks game mania here 
more tonight

*went to the library and got Micheal J Fox's book: 
Lucky Man
haven't opened it yet

*Had my NO COOK weekend. 
IT was fabulous. 
Fresh watermelon, cut vegetables with dip,
and coffee, made the weekend a breeze.

How was your weekend?

The red orange yarn is a happy color. How about making it a striped blanket and add white and other colors you like?

Love the idea of a no cook week-end! Cut up veggies and fruit do the trick for me too. I got a fit bit for mother's day and like it way more than I thought I would. There's definitely no fooling yourself while you're wearing that.

I had a great weekend too...even knit in public! Eating all fresh food...NICE. I'm reading "To Kill A Mockingbird" when I am sitting and not knitting. Harper Lee will have a 2nd book out in mid-July, so I thought I would re-read "Mockingbird" before I read the new one (a sequel). Oh, it's really good!!

We cleaned closets, had a family BBQ and I got some things done. No adventures, though! You seemed to have a fun-filled weekend! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

Quiet weekend here - some knitting in the park on Saturday, hand stitching binding on a quilt, reading, and relaxing.

Sounds like a fabulous weekend! I love the orange yarn, but then I love orange anything.

Our weekend was lazy and unproductive. Everyone needs one occasionally!

Do I dare say . . . . . GO BOLTS??? On the other hand, I sure would like to see Timmonen get his ring.

Our weekend was full of sand and hermit crabs! It was GREAT!

That blanket thing must have been in the air. Everyone seems to be starting one. I don't fitbit. I never sit down so it wouldn't have much to do. I knit and spin while walking so I can keep up with Pup. I would rather have a pup to get me moving than plastic thingy anyway.

I love your blanket! Glad you like the two row pattern (easy peasy in my mind!). Congrats to the graduate and yay for a no cook weekend (I live for those.)

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
