Met Monday

I thought I'd share something from my knitting blog that I posted a couple of weeks ago and link up to Susan's 'Met Monday' :-)

I transformed this. . . . . .


in to this. . . . . .

and it only took me two weeks! Unlike this. . . .

that I transformed in to this. . . . . .

which took me 18 months! And I still have to put buttons on it! If you didn't already know, I love knitting. Hop on over to my 'Knitting Den' if you want to see other stuff that's come off my needles recently ;-) And hop on over to Susan's blog to see lots of great 'befores and afters'.

The weekend sure did fly by. I went out yard-saling on Saturday morning but was very disappointed. I only spent $5, bought a Jenga game for Kristen, a two-tiered wall basket that I've already spray painted black, but forgot to take a before picture of, a Christmasy mug for me and a necklace! When I got home Jason was already in the garage (9.30am) clearing up. We're trying to do a little each week, especially when it's not too hot. This weekend was the perfect weather for it. While Jason was cleaning I got the mower out and did the front lawn, then edged it then got the blower out and cleared the paths of grass. By the time I was finished my arm was aching! The muscle in it is still sore today.

Kristen slept over at Emily's house on Saturday night so Jason and I watched a couple of movies together, Wolverine and He's Just Not That In To You (which wasn't as funny as I thought it would be, but I enjoyed Wolverine).

My inlaws came over yesterday and we had a nice visit together. I made chili and corn bread and had bread and oil, queso and chips and hummus and veggies for snacks.

So, today, need to get on with laundry and housework and start making lists of things to do for the upcoming holiday season :-) I feel like I'm behind on things already - it's October already!!!
