My past weekend ...

      This past Saturday, the Hubby and I went to a wedding. it was only about a 45 minute drive from our house and was set to start around 11:30; which of course, it didn't. LOL  It was closer to noon, which meant we had plenty of time to look around the stunning house that was the site of the wedding, as well as chat with some fantastic friends before the start of the ceremony.
     Look at this staircase!!!

     Yeah, sorry for the blurry picture, it seems that the low light did not agree with my phone. lol. Do you see that ceiling? I am so enamored with it! It makes me want one in my home...heck, it makes me want to move this house to my to! Ha!

     Here is my husband and I. Don't we look fetching?  I had done some frantic last minute shopping the night before with my best gal Ashley, and her daughter, at a local thrift store and found the perfect skirt, sweater and heels to wear to the wedding!  I had an outfit in mind, but I wasn't as thrilled with it as I became with this one.

     Here is the Bride and Groom, being attended to by the coordinator and some of the wedding party.  Her dress is just so perfect for her!!  So, so lovely!!

     After rushing home from the wedding I helped my 16 year old get ready for his Homecoming dance at his school.  This is a semi-formal that happens near the mid to end of the football season in high schools.  It gives the kids a reason for a fall dance, and parents a reason to spend money. Hehe. As you can see, my son really prefers the SEMI part of the semi-formal.  But, he was just perfectly dressed for his dates dress. :-)

Good Grief! I feel my age every time I realize he is 16. 

     The tie on him is so dashing!!

     We have been having cooler, but bright and sunny days here now for many days. I am loving, loving, loving the cooler air!  And the Monarch Butterflies are on the Move!!
They seem to be loving my butterfly bush right now too!

     Can you count how many? I believe that there are 15 in this picture! And over all, I was able to count up to 20 with out loosing track of who had been counted. I'm sorry if the picture is a little pants. I haven't washed the window in a while, and the screen seems to get in the way of the focus...but anywho, it's still a pretty sight! This is the view right out from the kitchen table, from my spot even. :-D

      Autumn is well and truly on its way in around here.

    Whee!!!!

Rainy days ... Now where is my autumn?

     Yesterday was such a rainy day. 

     Although it seems like our butterfly bush is loving the late lasting warmth, and rain.

     Wet. Wet. Wet. 

     And not a bit cold. 

     No chill. 

     No Autumn crispiness to the air. Yet.

     Warm summer air is hanging on here in Georgia. Mostly I love rainy days. If I get to stay home.       All I wanted to do, was have a fire, drink tea and crochet all day. Alas, I had to dash out into the rainy day and run errands, and have lunch with my hubby.  All in all, not too bad a day, even if a wet, soggy one.

     This is one of my project "bags of holding". I love it! The Rose I had crocheted forever ago with a bulky chenille yarn. 

      Inside is some glorious yarn purchased about two years ago. Soft, warm, lovely alpaca fluffy yarn. The colors are in the jewel tones along with a lovely stormy grey, to keep the other colors grounded.

     I have recently picked up this project again in hopes for more cool weather. It's a Grannie Ripple blanket. I will need lots more of this yarn to make it the size I'm aiming for; which I hope will big enough for our king sized bed. I also have hopes of taking it camping. Of course, I'm not sue I'll want to share my blanket. 

    I am so ready for cold weather! 

What's your favorite season?

My past week ...

     Playing with a new nail stamp kit.

     My newly made fall wreath; that will go up on Nov.1st. 

      Snowball doing famously at Lex's house. He is so in love with her and her him. And better for her, no evil grey kitty trying to do her in.

     Spent this past Saturday at an event, playing with yarn and chatting with the other Diva Ladies.

     The edging on the shawl for my grandniece.

     The finished shawl! It is so lovely! 

     Another shot of the shawl. I am so stinking tickled with this! Beads!! I crocheted with beads!!

     Last night out with the Knitiots Savants, showing off said shawl, and working on a new project.

     I love this blanket. It came from my husbands Grannies house. 

     Persephone loves it too. She is also much happier being the only cat again. Little terror. 

Well, I have been busy, just not been as busy as I would like. I've been looking for work, and it is such a pain. However, if I want to keep getting yarn, and clothes, and, well, food, a job is needed. Le sigh.

So, what have you been up to?
