Well the rain is back...but the sun is around the corner

It seems that we can't quite get a full week without rain.  Today is one of those rainy days.  But I am enjoying my day very much anyway.  I am sitting on my couch, in the first sweater I knitted...

(an over-sized hoody that I love but is maybe not the most flattering thing in the world.)

The goal today is to finish the thigh high leggings that I have been working on for months!  Hmmm....I think I will get some cocoa soon, too.

Here is the progress of the leggings so far.  I found the patter here at Lion Brand Yarn.

One down and only half way left to go on the other.  I started them last year and have set them down a lot.  But I have been listening to the YarnCraft podcast a lot lately, and that has made me want to get back to the needles.

Even though it has been crazy weather, I am happy to have my beautiful daisies blooming again.  Had to share with you...

Hope you enjoy this wonderful weekend, no matter the weather!

Clean house and yard + graduation party for the sis = awesome time!

This week was a tough week.  Work was kicking my butt, and my hubby and I were working hard to clean the house for the upcoming graduation party (which took place yesterday) for my sister's graduation.

Yesterday, we finished the up the house and the yard just in time for the graduation.  Here are a few pics of the yard in all its glory.  Turned out great!

We made a yard 'divider/focal point' with old doors hinged together.

I found this cool vintage fabric that I put out for the tablecloth.  And some of my daisies and mint from the yard.

This is the new watering can set up for the pond....

We also did a dry stream bed that comes off of the pond.

I also have to share a pic of my lovely daisies that have been going crazy in the front yard....I love the whole 'sea of flowers' feeling!

Anyway, the family all rolled into town, along with lot's of friends.  It was so awesome to see my sis walk at her graduation.  So proud of her!

We partied it up afterward in our yard, at lots o'food, and enjoyed the perfect weather.  And when it got dark, we made a fire in our little fire thingy.  I have to say that I am lucky to have such great family and friends!  I know I had a blasty blast!

Today, I am taking it easy, doing a little catch up work, and we are all going to Bring Recycling, one of my favorite places to check out recycled building stuff, and more! (I think I have talked about them recently...lol.)

Hope the rest of your weekend is restful, and that you have a great week!
