Ahhh…the first “official” day of Spring Break.
If you heard singing, it was my heart rejoicing at the extra five hours of sleep I got this morning.
Spring Break is all about catching up on chores but finding time to relax too.
The first thing I did was take Rooster to DQ for Bizzards. I had received a B1G1 coupon through my email (sign up so you get one on your birthday). It expired today, and I did not want to let it go to waste. I think you can get arrested for something like that, and you know me…I’m a rule-follower…most of the time.
Sorry I don’t have a picture of that, but I kind of forgot in my haste to inhale it. Just take my word for it. It was heavenly!
After dropping off the boy at church to paint some backdrops for this summer’s VBS, I decided the fun was over…for a little while. I had a lot of coupons that needed to be cut out and filed, so I got to work…
Coupon Queen is very generous with her extras, and she passes quite a few to me every time we cross paths. This makes for a TON of filing!
Meanwhile, there was laundry to do. As I said in one of my Random Dozen postings, one of my favorite things about Spring is hanging the clothes on the line. Today was the PERFECT day for it!
By leaving the side door and the garage door open, the breeze blows through, making for even faster drying! With the wonderful fabric softeners I’ve been able to pick up for cheap prices, the smell of the clothes is incredible!
While I was filing coupons and my clothes were drying, I had a little something that was on my blocking foam…
What, pray tell, is it?
Well, let me show you a better picture first…
This is my Linoleum Dishcloth. It’s a Kay Gardiner (of the Mason-Dixon duo) design, and it’s free! You can find the pattern here.
What a fun, fun pattern! I completed it in about three hour’s time…while I was watching my Sunday night shows.
I used size 6 needles and Peaches ‘n Cream yarn (Yellow, Cornflower, and Soft Teal).
The texture is perfect for washing dishes! It is thick because of the slip stitches and the way the yarn is carried behind the cloth.
I am envisioning more of these babies in my future!
So, will knitting be a part of the rest of my week?
Like…
DUH!
heehee
Off to watch Dancing With the Stars! Maybe I should have titled this post, Spring Breakin’, Knittin’, and Dancin’!
Woo Hoo!
