Stitches in Play: tgif

It's Friday!

And time to reflect upon the week...

I began a new cardi that I think I may actually wear.

I opened the last jar of freezer jam - and this weekend I have plans to make lots more.

I ate a yummy summer salad.

papaya
avocado
grapefruit
lots of freshly squeezed lime juice
salt

I took the kiddos to the library and found these for 25 cents each.

I had never heard of these or the knitting guild association that publishes them. Have you seen these before? Do you know anyone who belongs to the guild? I will be conducting a google search tonight.

Each magazine contains about fifteen patterns - many of which are not my style... but I will be knitting this cute shrug.

I enjoyed watching my mother's day roses bud and bloom.

I could not bring myself to pull and toss the last of the pansies - especially since I so love watching the blooms unfold each morning.

I watched Remy bask in the sunshine with that huge smile on his face.

Pure joy.

While Sally likes to chew on a stick in the shade.

TGIF and whether you love to bask in the sun or relax in the shade (sans stick, of course) I wish you a lovely weekend.
As for me, I'll be knitting in the shade with screaming and chasing kiddos all around and Sally at my feet. Pure joy.
