A Good Weekend
George came home safely this weekend from a trip to Iraq, and that's a very good thing. We all missed him, as we always do when he's gone. He had a layover in Paris and bought this for me in the airport gift shop. Ironically, he hadn't even read my post about candy boxes! I guess he just knows he can't go wrong if it's pink, heart-shaped and contains chocolate...
Then, drumroll.........Sam took his first steps! We were so excited and proud, as if he had just been accepted to Harvard! Now, he surely needs those cute shoes.
I also managed to squeeze in a little more cleaning time in my craft room. Organizing, organizing, organizing. Never ends, does it?
On Saturday, the mail lady brought some happy mail from a friend. Always nice to see her walking up the driveway with a box. I don't know about you, but getting the mail is one of the highlights of my day! It's so fun to see what's in the pile.
And Sunday night brought us this beauty:
Finally, a snowfall that's worth talking about! They are few and far between around here. George grew up in New England and loves snow, winter, and everything that goes along with it. He was like a kid on Christmas morning when he woke up to all this snow. He even decided to take the day off work from home today so he and Mario could play outside.
Here are the neighbors and Mario all playing together. George was shovelling snow, and I was inside making soup. It's noon, I'm still in my pajamas, glasses on, hair in a messy bun. Fireplace is going. Think I'll make some chili for dinner. Some hearty comfort food. It's one of those cozy days.
Hope you had a good weekend too!
{p.s. for those of you who emailed me for a pattern for the dishcloths... I wish I could share it with you, but I didn't use one. I don't even know how to read those patterns! I just double crocheted rows back and forth until I had the desired size. Then, I chain stitched the perimeter to finish it off.}
