What a weekend

I had the best weekend! Well, a productive one anyway.

My sister-in-law (who is 10 years 0ld) sent me the cutest letter. Of course it was written in Dutch so my DH had to translate it for me, but she is such a sweety. I can't wait to meet her one day. She wrote it because a couple of months ago I sent her a scarf I'd knitted. So, that got me thinking, I should make her matching mittens and a hat!

DH and I had to go out to my parents (who own a pine block) to cut firewood, so I convinced DH to stop by the wool shop on our way out of town. Five minutes later I emerged ($50 poorer) with a pattern, two sets on needles and five balls of wool. Onwards and upwards to the parents. We did the wood thing for a couple of hours, then stopped for lunch. Mum had made salad sammies - so nice and fresh. After lunch Dad and DH went back to work while Mum helped me get the mittens sorted. They are so cool, and I managed to finish it later that evening. About 3hrs in total I reckon.

Sunday I did the hat. Now, in case you think I'm totally nuts (which could be a fair assumption at times) I do knitting while watching the tele. Last week we got out the entire first season of Joey, so I've been glued to that all weekend (6 DVD set). OMG - I love it!! It is so funny. Does anyone know if they are planning on doing a second season?? Oh, did put Joey on pause while watch Survivor, not much exciting there though.

Anyway, TMI - but Sunday night was awesome!!! Definatly good to get some new moves in the BD department!!

So, today is Monday, and I have my knitting with me (wonder if I can get away with doing it during a staff meeting?) and hope to get a few rows done. It's her (the SIL) birthday on the 23rd of Dec, and I'll need to post them at least a couple of weeks ahead.

Anyways, upwards and onwards - it's my turn to think up a new move, and even more important than that (but barely) I have to finish writing reports!!
