My Long Weekend

 Hello Friends,

I hope you are doing well. This weekend turned into a very long weekend for me. I was originally scheduled to work on Friday due to our business being in the US. Then we found out this past week that we have Friday and Monday off. Friday was so relaxing, I worked on the puzzle and did yoga after so long not doing it. On Saturday we had some friends over for a BBQ, I got groceries and prepared beforehand. It was fun hanging out with them on our terrace and it was the perfect weather. Then on Sunday I had my parents over for a visit and we sat outside. Today is the last day off and I knitted, played Sims, did the puzzle, and did some cleaning and yoga. 

I started knitting socks using the perfect pair yarn from Loops & Threads in the colorway drive all night. I am knitting the socks using Loops & Threads size US 2 2.75 mm double pointed needles. I love the pattern of the self striping yarn it looks so interesting. I am using the pattern for basic knit socks on the yarn label intermediate level.

I worked on the puzzle more after a long break and finished it. Millie loves to jump on the table onto the puzzle and bite the pieces. Today she did a bit then gave up when I stopped her a few times. Once she moved, I could finish it. I bought this 500 Ravensburger puzzle called Cozy retreat on Amazon. I loved working on this puzzle and wish I could jump into the scene it looks so cozy and fun place to just hang out and work on crafts and hobbies.

On Friday, Millie saw her chance to check out our storage box I was filling for under the bed and jumped in. She didn't stay in it too long and let me finish filling it up.

Millie was very relaxed and happy in this photo on Thursday night. She knew it would be a good weekend with lots of relaxing time with mom and dad. 

Thank you for visiting my blog today! I am working to get back to my schedule after a long break off. I have been feeling good lately.  I still have some moments when I feel a bit nauseous but it is much better and less than in my first trimester. I hope that you all have a great week!

Happy Valentine's day! Knitted Heart and Finished Puzzle

 Hello Friends,

I hope you are doing well. Happy Valentine's day! I had a good weekend, we celebrated my mom's birthday this weekend and had dinner at my sister's place. The weekend flew by and it was nice spending it with family and getting a few things done.

I finished knitting a small plush heart this weekend for Valentine's day. I used the pattern Hearts by Amanda Berry on Ravelry. I used 3.25 mm knitting needles and some left over worsted weight light pink yarn. I filled the heart with poly-fil stuffing once the heart was complete. 

I finished making the puzzle I have been working on since January. It was a fun puzzle and I loved the image of the cozy scene. My sister got it for me from Indigo for Christmas the name of the puzzle is warm & cozy.

Tonight we will be ordering some takeout for dinner from an Italian restaurant for Valentine's day. Liam bought me flowers and chocolate and it has been a nice Valentine's Day so far. I hope you enjoy your day too!
