Friday Fill-Ins #74
1. For me sitting there on the sofa and not doing anything is the opposite of creativity.
2. Twilight by Stephanie Meyer was the last excellent book I read. Now I just have to go and get the next book in the series.
3. I like fill-ins because it gives me some good blog fodder.
4. In nature I like looking at the clouds in the sky.
5. Someone who has an actual plan for the country and not just full of talk with no action should win the US elections.
6. The last time I laughed with all my belly was yesterday watching the 2 year old laugh at his daddy.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to some peace and quiet, tomorrow my plans include getting out and about and Sunday, I want to knit and watch tv or go outside on the back deck. It all depends on the weather!

It was a gorgeous day here in Hillsboro. In fact, it had gotten up to the high 80s. And I had managed to finish two knitted items. One was another bib for lil Nicholas. He is working on feeding himself and can get quite messy at times. So at least his shirt stays somewhat clean. The other was a scarf made with Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Bulky Handpainted in the Ireland colorway. It made a lovely One Row Scarf. Now I just have to give it its lavender bath and get it ready for the trip to England.
