This week was a good bit calmer
than last week – although of course I still have too many pictures. Dr. M
helped me out by posting some on his page – you definitely want to go check it
out, here.
You especially don’t want to miss the silly cardinal pictures.

I
went to the Wool Gathering today – a local fiber arts festival. Here's my first purchase. Don’t you think
the sheep on this t-shirt looks a little maniacal?
This
hat was VERY impressive!!
I
didn’t count my meandering at the festival as a walk, so I took my real walk
after my nearly 2 hour nap when I got home :)

Our Knock-Out Rose, Miss
Scarlett.
I needed a change purse to match
my new shoulder bag, so I made one. It’s a little lumpy & odd, but it does
the job. Although it doesn’t actually match my new bag. Hmm…
Dr. M fixed the lawn mower –
both handles had broken, so he reinforced it with some spare parts and about a
gallon of duct tape. (Oh, you didn’t know duct tape comes in gallons?) It works better than ever now!
The moon!

I had a meeting at the local library. As I was leaving I saw this bulletin board in the lobby. Made me
pause for a second…
Dr. M knows I love a field of hay
rolls!

My daily walk.
I thought my salad was so pretty
that I had to take a picture (there’s spinach somewhere under there).
The moon!

Square #1 of Pattern #19. Fun!
I took a brief walk around the
building at work, being a typical person with my head in my phone playing a
word game. When I got back to my office I dropped my phone on my desk &
then noticed this message – ha!
I needed to scan in Dr. M’s passport
photo & decided to do mine too. We are both agreed – mug shots!

My daily walk.
My one Black Eyed Susan is doing
so well – so much fun!
Square #2 of Pattern #19.
Saturday,
September 26th
Around
the yard – so pretty around here these days!
Square #3
of Pattern #20 (Yep – I sat around & crocheted all day. No cleaning, no
laundry – just left the house once, to take my walk. It was bliss!)
My daily
walk – the tiny little toad edition. I must have seen 20 (no exaggeration!). I
had to turn on my phone flashlight to make sure I didn’t step on any of them.
When I
got back I started a new project (a pocket for my new purse). I used the wooden
crochet hook I bought at the Wool Gathering on Sunday. I love it! So smooth
& lovely…
Hope everyone has a great week!
Cool collage on 25th, and 23rd! Amazing what you find on your walks.
ReplyDeleteHow's the wooden hook working?
Sheep Year--good year!
Beautiful Black eyed Susan.
No blood moon? Next time?
That's a cool crochet hook. Very sculptural!
ReplyDeleteWho knew it was the Year of the Sheep? And wonder why it starts in February? I just love the wooden crochet hook. So smooth and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSilly me. Of course it's the Chinese New Year. I usually think of it as the Year of the Goat, but I think I like sheep better.
DeleteI think it was a Sign that you should start crocheting toads. What a perfectly lovely idea!
ReplyDeleteThat hook is really cool, althought I wouldn't know what to do with it.
ReplyDelete...about a gallon of duct tape... How many gallons of duct tape will it take for the lawn mower to start operating on its own? You know, like a Roomba?
ReplyDeleteI've got a very few old sewing gizmos and such from my mom, though none as cool as that wooden hook. I do have one of those old pattern tracers, with the toothed wheel and a wooden handle. It's pretty neat. And I like your squares. They remind me of an afghan that someone in the family made. Not me -- that's for sure. Mom had it for a while. It was teal, black, and white. Cool.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week! It's rainish tonight, but I think it's supposed to be nice here the rest of the week. I actually have the windows open right now, and there's a slight north breeze blowing. One of these days, autumn will show up!
I've got some repairs to do on my own lawnmower. I was hoping it could wait until next spring but we've had a lot of rain lately and it might be enough to cause the grass to start growing again forcing me to cut the yard one more time.
ReplyDeleteanother week of great pics.
