| Julie helping me crochet |
I have begun knitting and crocheting again (must be the Fall weather). And I've also gotten back to quilting... although so far I've only bought some fabric for a baby quilt and made a few catnip toys for the cats.
This weekend I was at my son's house spending some time with my 9 year old grandson since his dad had to work.. and his older brother did also. We had fun watching TV programs in Spanish since I was inept at figuring out their remote. We also did some sketching with ink pencils and a little with watercolors to pass the time.
And since the weather was so nice, we went outside and played what I call "grandma soccer"... meaning we kicked the ball back and forth making sure that it didn't come at me too high or too hard. He also informed me of the significance of the new Nintendo 3DS. Since I know nothing about the old Nintendo, the real significance of the new one was lost on me. But as you all know, the new generation is very tech savy.
At one point when I was sitting on the sofa crocheting, I noticed that their little dog was interested in my yarn. Since I was basically just using up left-over yarn, I crocheted a square into a cylinder and then rolled up one end... and began playing tug of war with her. She loved it! And once she got hold of the yarn, she ran with it and played with it all afternoon. It was great to see her so happy.
But I think she wore herself out. Here is a picture of her sleeping later on the back of the sofa.... a place where later I learned she wasn't supposed to be. But doesn't she look cute?

| Kiki sleeping after her busy day |
It's Sunday night and the weekend is now over. We ended it late this afternoon with ice-cream at Braum's (which is DH's favorite place).
Now it's time for book and bed - and possibly a cup of tea.
Wishing you a happy Monday and rest of the week!
aw, let them have their special spots, we place a cover over the furniture where Barney wants to sleep, none the worse for wear and sometimes I think they want to be close to our scent. I have some of that Italian ice cream from the grocery only brand that doesn't make my celiac act up. totally decadent. Ha.
ReplyDeleteLinda, I make little cat and doggie quilts, so I guess I need to make one for Kiki. They do help keep the pet hair off the furniture and are easy to throw into the washer and dryer. As for the ice-cream, DH LOVES it! (I go more for the hot fudge on top...)
DeleteCute picture! She does look tuckered out from all that play. :-)
ReplyDeleteShe played hard for a long time, then just curled up and passed out for a few hours.
DeleteWe can see what a great help Julie is!
ReplyDeleteKiki is adorable! That's such a cosy spot, no wonder she wants to be up there. She's so tiny, she can't harm anything, right? :-)
Wishing you a fabulous week ahead, with purrs from the boys to all your crew, inside and out!
It's funny how cats (and apparently dogs) are fascinated with yarn. And it did look like a cozy spot, didn't it. She fit right into it.
DeleteMost of the ice cream places in my city fell out in favor of Frozen yogurt.
ReplyDeleteLuckily we still have plenty of Braum's, Baskin Robins, and Cold Stones around. But there are quite a few frozen yogurt places too.
DeleteI'll keep that in mind--an ice cream treat to end the week. How delightful.
ReplyDeleteWe did enjoy it. I always get a single scoop sundae with peanut butter chunk ice-cream and hot fudge! DH gets the same with a double scoop... and the boys got double scoops of birthday cake (that's a flavor), chocolate mint, peanut butter, and java. All of us left empty cups...
DeleteKiki is adorable! I bet her napping spot is well used ...when her family isn't home.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a wonderful time with your grandchildren. I'm with you, all this new technology is too much for me.
Kiki is cute... and you're right, I think her napping spot looked well used.
