Day number two of vacation has been so wonderful. The weather has been wonderful, super hot in the day and balmy and breezy in the evening.
We have spent our days swimming at the pool, playing on the beach, taking naps and eating lots of good food. I have been knitting in the shade as much as possible. Last week when I posted that I had received the wrong color of Cascade yarn to work on the knitted swimsuit for Livie, I got a bunch of responses telling me that they had a long wait to receive the correct color. I was hopeful but told myself not to get my hopes up high. Then the day before we were leaving for vacation, I found the yarn in my mailbox. I was so happy. I’d had visions all week of myself on the beach working on that sweet swimsuit while my kids played happily nearby and now I could make it a reality.
I am loving the springiness of this Cascade fixation yarn. I just hope I am good enough to make the swimsuit happen. I read the pattern and I have seen words such as kitcheners stitch and backwards loop cast on and I am getting a little scared : ) Thank goodness for Youtube.
I’m so grateful for this time with all my babies, especially knowing that this is probably the last we will spend with Alexandra before she is on her own. It has been bitter sweet for Poppa to have stayed home since we have always brought the kids here since Alexandra was born and its just not the same without him. With him having started working not long ago, having him leave on vacation was not a possibility so he stayed home, feeding the animals and taking care of the farm. Today he told me he had to chase a chicken into woods and I had to laugh imagining him running and catching a sneaky chicken.
I am Crafting On with my friend Nicole and Yarning along with Small Things again this week. I will be posting the Stash Bash on Thursday so I hope to see you back here and would love to see your projects.
