Wonderful Friday!!
I was invited to lunch at a friend's house, to visit and discuss our craft projects and different "work in progress". Lots of "ooohing and aaahing," a delicious meal, wonderful conversation, and then off to a local Christmas Bazaar.I did behave myself, buying only a locally handcrafted wooden spoon.
Cozy evening, fire in the fireplace, ourselves for company, Licorice tea, shawl and slipper...time to learn to ripple......bliss.Wonderful Saturday!!
French Toast for breakfast...YUM
A handsome new Rooster named Jim arrived at our place. He is a Black Bantam Frizzle and is adorable. So far the ladies in the hen house are not impressed...
Goodies from the Library
A new DVD set...
Church Bazzaar ~ lovely bag

I just love that afghan, I wish I lived closer to you, as you could maybe try and teach me to crochet!!Gill
Niki these are the kind of weekends I like just relaxing and having family around is so good.
Take care
The colors in the afghan at the blog you linked are ABSOLUTELY gorgeous! I have to make one on those colors.
The baby afghan you made is so beautiful! I love those colors as well and the edging just sets the whole thing off perfectly! Beautiful, beautiful stitching!
I am so happy for you that your weekend was this tremendous.
My OD and I are going though with a project I had wanted to start a few weeks back. Since my computer died last week, I don't have the list anymore, but it is along the lines of getting rid of 50 things. Today (and I count it as one) we got rid of all the JUNK on my frontroom shelf. I am so grateful that my OD has a better memory than I and she is just (lovingly) pushy enough to get me to more! I think my weekend although not as much fun, will be a great weekend!
Sorry to go on so long...
Sounds like a lovely weekend! I like your new rooster! We use to have bantam chickens - so sweet!
The baby blanket turned out adorable!
Blessings!

Oh, your weekend sounds wonderful! Happy birthday to your boy. The afghan is just beautiful. I love it!
Jim the Rooster is soooo cute! He's all fluffy and spiffy. Maybe the girls will warm up to him.
What a lovely weekend you had.. your hens must be blind because I think the rooster is adorable. Love your afghan too
The afghan is beautiful. I love the colors you have chosen. Don't you just love relaxing with a nice warm cup of tea, wood fire and a knitting project. Perfect setting.
I wanted to thank you again for the lovely dinner on Sunday. It was nice to get together for Jon's birthday. Thank you also Rob for letting Elise win at the farming game. : ) Your baby afghan turned out beautiful. You are one talented lady. Your sewing room is wonderful. What a nice place to get away and just work your magic. Have a great week and have fun with Vanessa and Henry today.
Love irene
