Snapshots of Saturday

Being off the weekend program at work has allowed me to seriously be OFF on the weekend. I am not working on the weekend - but my hours are filled in during the week. I am thinking the weekend program fits me better. The weekday hours are killing me. The weekend gets here and I am exhausted.

This Satruday - Thank in MOST part to Norm - we did some SPRING cleaning! Yoohoo!!! We started technically in the living room - but the girls room was majorly overhauled as evidence by the following picture!



Norm put up more shleves and we did a MASSIVE purge of all the toys that were misfits and no longer utilized..... it was a sad day for some.... but a catharsis for others.... look at the clean room!!!!!

I also graduated to Circular Needles in knitting!!!! I started a Felted Purse Class on Saturday Morning!!!!

This is the one I started in class and couldn't put down.



This is the one that I started tonight when I got to a point on my class on that I couldn't go any farther!



We also went Futon shopping. We wanted a new cushion and cover for our futon. I would have a photo but the one that Norm took - had a horrible picture of me knitting.... the knitting is okay - the picture of me was not one that I would post.... LOL!

Of course - just the luck - the futon store was RIGHT BY A KNITTING SHOP - NINA's. Such a cool place. This is probably one of my favorite exclusively knitting shops around here. Arcadia might be a lil friendlier but Nina's definitely has some new ways to look at knitting and the yarn is to DIE for!!!! I should know - I walked out ten skeins later - and with this book......



I am already getting ready to start on a hat that will go with my Grunge Scarf that I finished last week (boy have I been a bad blogger....)



Of course - three skeins of the yarn were for Nat. She is making me a scarf out of this really pretty Rowan yarn she picked out herself (honest - she picked it out, brought it to me and stated she wanted to make me a scarf out of it...) and a hand dyed Alpaca for Rowan that has varigated yarn that looks like a veggie plate when it was rolled up. It should make a fun scarf for Rowan!

We went to Leona's for dinner after the shopping experience. We got there just in time. We got there, got our food and were eatting as the Cubby crowds were wandering in.

We then retreated home so Nat and I could kniton our new futon.....



Nat is really knitting (the goldfish box is obscuring it - and Rowan is eatting the goldfish. My kids move like lightening - this was the only picture I could get AND I editted it so as to obscure me. But you can see the new LIME GREEN futon.) We also ordered another cover that is patterned. Nothing like Spring Cleaning!!!

I ended up the last one knitting with the girls curled up on my lap.... such sweet end to a grungy day.
