Saturday ramblings........

Well my friends how are you?  How has your week been?  Any news?  We are all good here at my house.  It has been a good week even though it rained and my roof now leaks so I guess you can say it was raining inside as well as outside.  We really needed the rain outside, inside not so much.  Still it can be fixed and we don't technically need a new roof yet but we are getting close.  So good news, right?

I finished yet another shawl for a dear friend I just adore.  This is made with Berroco Pima 100% cotton yarn in the color Basil.  I love it and yes it is another Elise Shawl bringing my grand total of making these to about 10,000, I think.  I used two skeins of yarn chosen particularity for this friend and a size J hook.  This pattern is so easy and makes such a great shawl, I hope she likes it.

This little boy went to bed last night not feeling quite himself.  He did not eat dinner just acted very tired.  He slept 13 hours last night and now looks perkier but still is quiet.  His fur brothers are keeping a close eye on him as is Mom!  I actually think he is growing and that might be what all this sleeping is about.  He has declared today a pajama day and so there it is, it's official.   He is currently in my office playing on his iPad with his favorite stuffed monkey, Mona, at his side.  Two fur boys are also in here with us, it is crowded but lovely having them all so close.

Yesterday I started a new project after cleaning, schooling and ending my work week.  This is the Cannonlands Boho Top.  I found it after a pretty big search on Ravelry last weekend.  I wanted to use more of my stash yarn and this Universal Yarn, Inc., Cotton Supreme DK yarn seemed perfect.  I bought this yarn years ago when a local yarn store went out of business so I have been waiting for the perfect project for it.  Wish me luck!

We got through the school week pretty intact minus a meeting I just could not seem to be able to attend with a special teacher of Little Buddy's.  We could not find the invite, then could not get the iPad or my computer to allow us in, then his assistant tried to help me through text messages that didn't help either, until I finally just said we were done and that was that.  I am a bit of a pain as I am not that tech savvy and all these younger parents are, still I am trying and we are getting most of his work done.  We have school therapists to meet every week, assignments for his regular class, art, music and physical education, there is a lot to get done every week.  So we will do our best and that is the best we can do!

There are fun assignments that are not mandatory but I still like him to do them so he can get as much exposure as the other kids in his class.  One of them was this wonderful lion made out of graphing points and connecting the dots.  Little Buddy's coloring is getting so much better, I am so proud of him  We also had to make an instrument for music from things we had at home, here he is with chop stick drum sticks on a box drum.

 

Darling Bear had to get his three stitches out yesterday.  I can't take him into the office so the vet tech  has to come out and get him from the car.  Let me just say Bear was having none of it and suddenly this 43 pound dog became 143 pounds and planted his feet and would not move.  The poor woman had to pick him up and carry him.  He was gone all of four minutes and returned stitch free, but as you can see he is still not over the trauma.  Hank barked the whole time we were gone bless him, but now they are reunited and all is well.

As for the rest of the weekend a lot or REST is in order for both Little Buddy and me.  I am trying to get over one of my big headaches and he just needs to be quiet.  How about you?  What is in store for you today?  Stay well my friends and see you soon.
