Monday Already?

Why do the weekends fly by so fast?  Perhaps the fact that I took two 5-day weekends in a row has a little something to do why this 2-day weekend felt so short.   I could easily get used to 5-day weekends!

Didn't do a whole heck of a lot this weekend.  I slept until 9:30 on Saturday; that's like sleeping the day away for me!  It did feel pretty good though.  Poor little Clover didn't have a very good start to her weekend; she had her first bout of actual puking on Saturday.   It was awful!  Poor little thing was scared.  She threw up three times (the last time was on me, but that's okay).   How all that came out of such a tiny belly is a mystery to me!  In between bouts, she seemed to feel fine and was even smiling.  She's okay now; she wasn't sick with a bug or anything.   Let's just say it isn't a good idea to feed mac & cheese to a baby on soy formula.  Ooops.

Sunday was a much better day.  Patti came over and we spun and knit for a while on the deck.  I don't think I've mentioned that she bought a Ladybug recently and, dare I say, is enjoying spinning on her new wheel.  She resisted as long as she could, but now she's come over to the dark side.  Muwahaha!  She's doing a great job, too.  I wish I had been smart enough to get out my camera so I could show you, but alas, I'm getting old and forgetful.  Next time.

I spent a couple hours in the pool after she left; sadly that's probably the end of the pool for this year.  It really wasn't a great summer for the pool, I'll tell ya.   

Did I tell you that I started another sweater for Clover?    I'm making the Garter Cardi by Jil Eaton (Ravelry link) using Lamb's Pride in a beautiful turquoise color.

I've completed the back and most of the left front since this picture was taken.  I've knit this pattern a couple of times for my great-nieces and I love it.  It's a very simple, yet pretty knit.  I'm making the size 2 (the green sweater is a size 18 months and won't fit her for long).  The pattern goes up to size 6 so she'll probably get one each year for a while.

Finally, a silly kitty picture for your enjoyment:

I've been lengthening my weekends, too. The return of fall is going to be a rude awakening!

[Sheepish Annie]

I know what you mean about the weekends. I was shocked this morning to realize that I had to go back to work. Summers off are great...but returning to work is brutal!!!!

Looking at cute kitty pictures helps, though. Immensely.

Poor Clover!
Can't wait to see Patti spinning.

Poor Clover! It happens to us all. I could go for a few 5 day weekends myself.

I just hate it when they get sick like that, poor Clover, I'm so glad to hear she's alright now.
Sorry it wasn't such a great pool Summer..drats.
That's going to be a beautiful little sweater!

[Zonda]

Awww glad Clover is better! That is going to be a pretty colorway on her!

Oh No!! Poor Clover. Her tummy was wondering what the heck was going on and sent it right back.

Sorry about pool days being over. That's a real drag.

[Amy]

I'm so glad little Clover feels better. Poor thing.

[trek]

Ah, yes, the dreaded mac & cheese disease. Poor Clover.

Silly kitties are happy kitties!

Poor Clover! I know just the facial expression you mean, the "WTF?!" expression. Glad she's feeling better.

Cute kitty picture. :)

Little kids grow so fast & I knit so slow - therefore I have ceased any dreams of knitting for wee ones. Except hats - hats I like to whip up.

Poor Clover! I'm glad she's feeling better now.

I'm sorry you have to close the pool. It really wasn't a good summer for swimming, was it?

[April]

Poor Clover. :( I still hate being sick like that and I'm a heck of a lot older than Clover.

Quit posting links to ultra cute patterns, you enabler, you!

hhhmmm another Ladybug purchased? I may just get one now and put it on the card- I don't know how much longer I can hold out!
