BUSY WEEKEND





This is what my house looked like early Saturday morning...The ice is just coated on the porch windows. I just thought it was so neat I had to show it.



This is an icicle hanging off the back of the house....I did notice alot of houses around me are looking the same. It was a gorgeous sunny day but it sure was cold and windy.
We took a trip to our daughter's and went to see our 10 year old grandson play basketball. I couldn't get a good picture of him as he was constantly moving around on the court...but, I did get a picture of his little brother watching him play ball. He is so dang cute I want to squeeze him. Notice his shirt. He stuck to me like glue all day. He was so much fun....he had to sit with me, eat near me and I was the only one who could put him in and out of the car...of course that made me feel good. We played with his toys and when we were leaving to come home he gave me two little toys to take home and told me I could play with them but just don't let my cat get them...
This is my latest project. I tried different ways to take the picture...here they are sitting on my lap (those are my pj's by the way)....the pj's made them look more pinkish but they are really red....I am making them for my husband. Just plain ole stocking knit stitch...something mindless while I watch TV. I am still working on my "Dancing Tulip" socks but they require my consentration. My sister is getting into the knitting thing now...She even organized her yarns and has a nice little canvas tote that she put everything into. She started another pair of "Fetching" mitts...I am not sure who they are going to be for but they are a purplish color. I am also getting her started on quilting...she brought her sewing machine over to my house and set it up in my sewing room Then today we went to buy some material....she is planning on a quilt for her son.
That is my news for today...Happy Knitting
