Most weekends are filled with must-do's in the Knitternall house. Homework, school projects, Quiz Bowl, church activities and retreats, freelance copywriting assignments, and never-ending chores make the time fly too quickly for respite.
I've also been busy with Christmas knitting: Rolled brim hats, Urchin berets, Maine Morning Mitts and a few felted handbags will fill the stockings of teachers and friends.
Now it's time for church. A beautiful day, the satisfaction of completed labors, and time with my family: bliss.
This weekend has been an unexpected exception. Such wealth of free time. So many options for fun!
Saturday I transplanted four shrubs, divided hostas, cut back some overachiever hollies and hydrangeas, turned the growing compost pile, and planted two dwarf gardenias. Today, after church, I'll focus on seaming 60+ squares for a huge prayer blanket. I have two DVD's ready to go and plan to enjoy myself completely.
I've also been busy with Christmas knitting: Rolled brim hats, Urchin berets, Maine Morning Mitts and a few felted handbags will fill the stockings of teachers and friends. Funny how I'm just as busy as usual, but because the work is my choice, it's so much more pleasurable.
Now it's time for church. A beautiful day, the satisfaction of completed labors, and time with my family: bliss.
