Weekend shenanigans

 The weather was surprisingly warm on Saturday. ... According to some. 

I have to be a bit cheeky about that one because I felt the temperature was okay.  The boys said it was warm and my son wondered why the air conditioning wasn't on. 

There was some strong breezes on Saturday, so I was fine with having all the windows open. 

I was razzed about it on Saturday, don't worry. 😆

Because it was warm and windy we didn't do much outside. Instead we did a project in the house and it was a wee bit frustrating.  I'm being mildly sarcastic, of course,  it was VERY frustrating. One of those things where everything has to be just so -- and it was -- until the end, and it would fall apart. 

Eventually, we persevered and got it done. 

On Sunday the weather was still nice, but still windy. I thought "Hey, this would be a great day to wash the outside of the windows."

And you want to know what happened after I roped my son into helping me and we were washing the windows? It started raining.  Not a hard rain, but still.  Annoying. 

Especially after the morning was really pleasant.  Even if it was windy. 

My boys were bonding. 

Aren't the trees beautiful? 

I even made brownies. 

I worked on my "Hope is a thing with feathers" cross stitch project and *finally* completed it.  Now to figure out how to finish it. 

And then I decided to work on a crochet project I started the other day. 

This is called "Harvest table runner" by Sara Sach. 

Today was not as warm. Fall is here. Well, weather-wise, it's definitely here. I think it stayed in the 50s F for the high. 

It was also publishing day. It went very well. Like I told a few friends, the day was done before it even started.  LOVE that. The office received so much local stuff that it filled the paper. 

Some lovely mail arrived today. 

I won a giveaway over at Crafty Cat Stitcher's channel.  The kit I won arrived today, with a lovely note from Cathy. 

It's such a darling kit. Too late to start and have for this year's Halloween.  I'll have to figure out how to add it to the projects for next year.
