Happy Saturday

We slept in this morning, and while I was in the process of making gingerbread pancakes for breakfast, Ann called to invite us to Cameron's 10:30 soccer game. She mentioned the sun was shining which, we agreed, made it an opportune day to go. Spring soccer games are often prey to bad weather in our neck of the woods. We ate, bundled up (sunny yes, but the wind was blowing and it was a cool 48 degrees) and set out. It was a wonderful way to spend a Saturday morning and even though they lost, we did get to cheer as Cameron made his team's only goal.

After lunch, I settled in to finish a new dishcloth. I bought a knitting magazine last week and it's been fun to look up websites from advertisements. A full page ad for Soho Purl took me to a treasure trove of inspiration and some free patterns. One was for a log cabin wash cloth and I decided to give it a try. An added bonus was the realization that I could use up leftover yarn. I just finished it and while it's not perfect, it was fun to try something different.

I need to get busy now. Since we left in somewhat of a hurry this morning, the bed didn't get made and so I think I'll change the sheets. Over at Homestead Happenings, my childhood pal, Kathy, has just been reminiscing about making beds. It was a fun read, and apparently she was somewhat influenced in her topic by my confession of hating to change sheets. I'm always happy to help out a friend! :-)

Meanwhile, the sun it still peering through the clouds and spring seems to be trying to come our way. These daffodils are across the street on a little bank below some woods.


Happy Saturday!
