Weekend Words

 

The dark brown soil is turned

By the shape pointed plow;

And I've a lesson learned.

 

My life is but a field,

Stretched out beneath God's sky,

Some harvest rich to yield.

 

Where grows the golden grain?

Where faith? Where sympathy?

In a furrow cut by pain.

Denver went to a cake making/decorating day at the High School, and this is the result...

He kindly left me a rather large piece (to eat in instalments)...

My Henning Mankell book arrived.  Looking forward to reading it but it will have to get in line, there are quite a few before it...

I've had to put my Debbie blanket aside to work on a birthday gift for a friend (shhh!...can't tell you...it's a surprise!)


And a day wouldn't be complete without an early morning 'down by the river' shot...

Or two...

Enjoy!

"Oh, Hi, Mark"

Unless you've seen the movie...

 

Or read the book...

 reading and recommending

You won't 'get' the title of this post.  I would suggest movie first...then book.



 Still working on the Debbie blanket...

And reading/watching this lot from the library...

 And that's it for today!

Just me

Making it up as I go along

My friend Debbie sent me some yarn last year from India...

  


I've been debating how to use it, and I still don't have a plan (thus the post title), but am going to start with some squares like this...

 

2 rounds black

2 rounds random (1 row of each colour)

1 round white

1 round random

1 round grey

 

I may also do some solid colour squares edged in grey to intersperse.

 

That's the plan so far. 

 The blanket will henceforth be known as the Debbie blanket!

 

The crocheted blankets and knitted beanies will go to a couple of charities...



 Reading Depths...

I'm linking this post in with Ginny's Yarn Along (which is back), so if you want to see what others are crafting/reading, go HERE.

 

And for your green fix...the back garden...

aka the jungle...and you thought I was joking!!

That's all folks!
