It's Friday, the end of the work week - not for me, but for my dh & my son at least. It's a moderately warm day here today in the mid-80's. Tomorrow & Sunday are forecast to be in the 90's, but there seems to be a chance to rain on Sunday afternoon & evening. That will feel good, at least while it is happening & maybe the lawns around here can green up some! Ours lookes like it is about August already!
Yesterday I finally settled down & did the last few rounds on a sock for 1 of the granddaughters. They are Christmas gifts, but since this is the first time I have ever made socks for them, I am letting them know about them as I work on them & try them on. Maybe once I get 1 pair each done for all, then I can try to make a surprise pair for them all as well. There are 5 total & I have another 2 pair on the needles. I am trying to remember what colors the oldest granddaughter thought each of the girls would like. I believe she chose the orange, that K. would like the purple & B. would like the pink. I hope so, since that is how I am proceeding! A pale blue for my grandson is 1 of the ones on the needles, but since he wears a size 14 shoe - his will take a while, even though I am working with worsted weight (10 ply). C. tried to convince me to give her her socks for her May birthday, but I reminded her that I have issues with tendonitis in my right hand & so it is taking me a bit longer to do things than it has in the past. And since this was her 10th birthday, so was getting her ears pierced, so I bought her earrings for the gift.
Tomorrow is my 53rd birthday! I don't usually do much for my birthday . Partially because we never did much when I was growing up. Partially because we always concentrated more on the kids while they were growing up. And partially because there are some family deaths that occurred close to it & so it just doesn't put me in the mood to celebrate. But tomorrow the company that my son just started working for is hosting an Open House & so weed to get a chance to have a more involved tour of the facility than we would if we just booked a tour. So we are going to go do the tour & then probably have lunch out with our son & his gf. She will work tomorrow evening, so we won't make a day of it. One year I decided for my birthday that I was going to do something for the grandkids & that is the year that we got a family membership to the Museum of World Treasures in Wichita. That was one of the best investments I have ever made for them - I think we went at least once a month all year & sometimes twice. For my 36th birthday, we were traveling home from a visit in FL and as we passed through Dallas, my dh & 3 kids decided to take me to Showbiz Pizza (or was it Chuck-E-Cheese?). Either way, everyone had fun & it definitely broke up the long drive from southern FL!
I visited a blog today that I haven't visited in a long time & was surprised that I can no longer find a way to translate it from the original language. This women knits a lot of socks, that I love looking at & cannot figure out how she manages to make them so quickly, but it also looks like now she may be making hats to sell, but since I can't read it, I can't be sure. I sure hope the translation link that I put on here works for others!
I see that there are several people reading this blog and most seem to be coming from Facebook, but since no one has commented yet, I don't know if everyone is enjoying this or not. I sure hope so!
Have fun & Happy Crafting until the next time!
