this moment

{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week.

A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. - Inspired by SouleMama.

etsy loving!

I'm loving this treasury fresh, clean, and summer feeling. The orange-y red and turquoise are really growing on me this year...ready for a vacation!

Hope you all have a lovely day and rest of the week.

Knitting:
Finished the Wurm! YEA! one of the gifts out of the way. [Rem posed for the pictures he thought it was funny to keep moving around...] I've still got the Brier to work on.

Reading:
I haven't been reading a lot this week, it has been a busy week. I was working on quilts for teacher gifts and finished up my knitted gifts, but the boys and I have been reading our daily bible study, it's something new we started for the summer. [I took picture of labels before my daughter signed them and it looks like they are from me...haha!]

I did finish Yarn Knitters: Writers on Knitting. Yarn knitters is an anthology of writers who knit. Some of the stories are tear jerkers and some had me laughing out loud. There are a few knitting patterns for mittens, head wrap, coffee cozie, socks, dog sweater, and a wrap. It was an inspiration book and a quick read. A really funny poem and all the stories are short. I don't want to give out any spoilers so I'm not saying too much more.

knit & free calendar

Welcome June, my favorite month!

pinterest

Knit in public is this month, the second Saturday in June but it is a week long celebration revolving around that day.

Free Calendar from KnitPicks. The calendar looks very cool unlike the weather that has started to get hot and muggy in my neck of the woods.

"Stay cool, my friends"

Before I get a picture like this...

I get a bunch that look like this one...watching TV. 

notice the portrait of me and L on the plant container, in purple of course!

Knitting:

I've cast on a couple of projects I plan to gift in the next couple of weeks...yikes! Too much pressure?!?! I can do this...haha! A Brier Beanie and Wurm hat, can't divulge too much right now.

I paused on my Perkins Cove, if you look at the top of the picture all those elongated stitches...wrong...So I ripped them out and stopped because if I keep going I tend to make more mistakes so I will go back to it in a couple of days.

Reading:

Missing Lily, this book caught my interest while I was reading a fellow yarn along's blog. So far it's been fun to read, the author's bio describes it as a clean romance.

macrame

from Etsy

I really want one of these macrame hangers, I used to think they were ugly and 70ish, but they are growing on me!

What do you think of them?
