I had a great birthday on Saturday. I treated myself to some new tea from Silk Road Tea. I got their Summer Shangri-La tea, which I absolutely love (you have to scroll down to the near the bottom of the page). I also grabbed two new tea cups that match my favourite tea pot.
I was also spoiled by a good friend who got me a pack of three tins of Silk Road teas, as well as other very lovely presents from friends. Apparently when I ask for no presents, it means that everyone brings me presents.
Some knitting this week:
-I picked up my First Snow Mittens again and cast on for the second mitten. The thing about mittens is that it's best when you have two that you can wear! I finished the first, which was all that was needed for the test knit. I put the project down so that I could do some Christmas knitting and haven't picked it up since then. It's knit from the bottom up, and so far I've finished the first two rows of snowflakes.
-I have a bunch of projects that I want to finish up, but when I saw that Susan B. Anderson posted a pattern for a pair of socks, I decided that I had to cast on for it. I have a skein of Yarntini Vintage that I've been hoarding, so I pulled it out and it's on it's way to becoming a very cute pair of socks.
Self-Striping Sock by Yarntini, in Vintage colorway.
-I still haven't sorted out the Square Upon Square pattern. I know that I wanted to change the pattern a bit but haven't had time to sit and work on it.
I finished my Forest Baby Pullover this past week and posted pictures here. I so excited because I was able to finish off my Winterfresh Cardigan too. I LOVE it. I haven't had a chance to take any pictures yet, but it's one of my favourite projects that I've finished. I'm actually going to wear it today. Stay tuned for pictures.
Some things I'm loving this week:
-Valentine's Day! My husband and I don't typically celebrate the day, although sometimes we'll get each other a little gift, like some tulips. I'm really enjoying doing some Valentine's Day projects with my daughter, which I'll show tomorrow.
-T is getting more mobile by the minute. He's figured out how to roll, so when he's hanging out in our living room, he's all over the place. Today he also figured out how to make a clicking noise with his tongue. It's pretty cute to look over at him and for him to respond with a loud click and a big grin.
-My husband and I started dating 17 years ago, on February 16th. I just turned 34 years old. So, doing the math, I've now officially been with my husband for half my life. Wow!
Some things I'm working on this week:
-More cringe-worthy errands! I was easily able to do three last week, but want to do another three this week.
-I wasn't able to get together some boxes of donations last week, so I'd love to do it this week.
-Although I didn't make it to 8 glasses of water every day last week, I definitely drank more water. I'm going to keep going with this goal this week.
-Yoga. Hmm. I wasn't able to do this goal last week, so I'm putting it back on the list for this week. I did have two times in the last week when I had time to do some yoga, but went for a massage and out for a drink with friends (not at the same time!) instead.
That's all from me. How did you do with your goals last week? What does the week ahead look like?
I went to yoga 3 times - but my knees are acting up, so it was a half-assed attempt on the last go.
ReplyDeleteNo going as much this week because my super awesome husband is home, and spending time with him is way more important.
This week its AGM in Spokane for all the big-wigs, so i'm in charge, my goal is to make sure the hotel doesn't burn down :) And trying to find some cheap fun stuff to do with Tim.
