The Long Weekend and movies

Wow what a busy weekend. My mom was down for a visit(her husband is ok - they never found anything wrong) - so we had a 'chick flick' night and saw the movie 'Made of Honor', it was good as romantic comedies go, nothing hugely surprising but it was an enjoyable watch.

I had my mom over for breakfast on Sunday and I tried out my new breakfast grill, it works great. It was nice to be able to have the visiting time with her. In the afternoon we went to visit my Granny and we both brought her a gift for Mother's Day. My mom painted her a beautiful picture of carnations and roses and I bought her a nice summer nightgown that she also really liked.

The boys wanted to see IronMan and I horned into their 'guy' time and joined them last night and I am glad I did. I have watched a lot of comic book movies with DH and DS but this was by far my favorite of all of them. If you like action/comic book movies you have to check this out - the special effects are great and Rober Downey Jr. was perfectly cast as Tony Stark.

So needless to say not much was done for knitting. I have to get on track as there are a few big projects coming my way along with eventually having enough dishcloths to start my Etsy shoppe.

How was your weekend?

Diamonds and more

This is a picture of the newest dishcloth/washcloth that I am working on. If you click on the picture you may be able to see the diamond pattern a bit better. The green is actually a sage green - it didn't photograph well.

Life has been crazy busy - I'm currently working on a sweater for myself and dishcloths for my contest winner and recently I decided to start up an Etsy shoppe so I am madly trying to get cloths made to add to my shop. I hope to have the shop running by the end of the month. I'm going to start with cloths and progress from there. I'll keep you posted about when it's up and running so you can check out my knitting - I named it of course surprise surprise - TeaMouse Treasures.

Getting ready for the long weekend here - so far we are having gorgeous weather, high 20's all weekend until Monday, which I think is supposed to rain - but that's ok, we do need the rain. I am hoping my mom is still able to come down. She was planning to come and we had a 'chick-flick' night planned to see Made of Honor. She called this morning and her husband had to go to the hospital by ambulance, so I'm waiting to hear how he is and hoping it's not his heart. If they come down I'm hoping to spend a lot of time with her as I haven't seen her since Christmas.

Spring Time in the Office

My DH just got back from some errands and he brought me some 'spring time' for my desk - aren't they pretty?

Last time he brought me purple ones and they were lovely and these yellow ones are just gorgeous!
