It was one of those weekends with a good balance of relaxation & productivity.
The two productive things I’m most happy about are cleaning the oven & getting the rest of the garage sorted so my car could park inside! I also cleaned out/organized some of the kids’ toys (this in prep for the Christmas tree that will be put up soon), took a few more bags of “stuff” for donation, and did some laundry. I was able to remove a big buttery stain right in the middle of one of my favorite shirts — it thwarted me the first time through the washer & dryer (probably should have not put it in the dryer), so I was very happy to succeed (thanks to OxiClean MaxForce Stain Remover)!
The kids were over for a few hours on Saturday night, which is always fun. The girls made a countdown Christmas garland & some ornaments (one of the wire trees is up in the kitchen already)… I’d been to Target, y’know, and always get hooked by those Mondo Llama craft kits!
I saw the ISS fly over a couple of times…
…even with the full moon. Look at how green the grass still is!
I somehow managed to squeeze in an almost 2-hour nap on Saturday. I was so surprised that I slept that long, but I think the stress of the previous week-and-a-half caught up with me.
I have been knitting absolutely nothing, though I am gathering some items for a little creative play (not knitting). I’ll be sitting at Ann’s for a while later today doing laundry and I threw the small tote with the Temperature Blanket in the back of the car… seaming shall commence!??

Sounds like a perfect weekend with a great mix of fun and family!
Managing to remove a stain is so satisfying, and so is being able to park your car in the garage! I love how your house looks, especially with the columns wrapped. John painted our columns last summer and has told me I can’t attach our wrap with my usual packing tape unless I want to paint again next summer. I may see what I can do with painter’s tape (fingers crossed).
Oh, bravo on the stain! (I’ve made a note that MaxForce worked for you!!! I need it in my laundry arsenal.) It’s always a good weekend when you can mix productive AND fun AND a 2-hour nap. (That’s my kind of weekend, for sure.) XO
Huzzah on the stain removal (I am going to look for some of that MaxForce!!) And I saw the beginnings of seaming on IG… oh my… that is a very good start!
Excited for the seaming to commence! That will be yet another Epic Vicki Blanket!! Your weekend sounds ideal to me – a good mix of getting stuff done, but having fun and enjoying family. Your house looks great and our grass is mostly green too (so weird at this time of year).
