The playlist for last week:
✅1. Doctors' appointments - Done, with more scheduled this week
✅2. Get ready for visitors Saturday - Done and we had a blast!
L-R: Hubs, me, our daughter, DIL, granddaughter #2, son (in back), grandson #1, granddaughter #1 with the two Littles - grandson #2 and granddaughter #3 - and the back of doggy Baker's head
Our son and DIL and two oldest granddaughters drove from south Texas on Saturday, joined by our oldest grandson who lives in Dallas and our daughter who lives an hour away with our youngest grandson and granddaughter. We gorged on my husband's grilled chicken breasts and burgers, along with some sides and dessert, and had a great visit. We even had a pop-up thunderstorm! We are planning another get-together for Thanksgiving.
I did finish a crochet bed runner. I was going for an afghan, but runner size is as far as 9 skeins would take me. It has a new home on the end of the guest bed. You can read about my process right here. I even gave my two oldest granddaughters a crochet lesson!
In the sewing room, I finally got my project cut out for Get On Board With Sewing, which starts on September 1. My day is September 5 - be sure to come back for a giveaway!. I will also post a list of the bloggers you can follow each day. You can check out the details by clicking on the logo in my sidebar.

What a great family gathering. The crochet runner would keep toes warm in winter. Looking forward to seeing your post for Get on Board with Sewing.
ReplyDeletewonderful looking family- sounds like you had a great visit
ReplyDeleteSo glad you enjoyed your time with the family - great picture! I wish I lived close enough to get a crochet lesson. I was trying to figure it out by video, and feel all thumbs with it. Looking forward to the blog hop!
ReplyDeleteSo glad knowing you had a very special time with family, Linda. You did great with the crochet bed runner, looks soft and cozy. Have a nice week, and thanks for hosting To Do Tuesday for all of us.
ReplyDeleteJudy@BusyHandsAreHappyHands……August 30….7:12 am…Great photo of your whole family! You are a good looking bunch! The crocheted bed runner looks perfect on your guest bed.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to be able to get together with your beautiful family--and you got a photo for the memories! LOVE that bed runner. You have me inspired to knit up something similar this winter if I can just find the time. (Might have to wait till next winter when the cadet is out of WP--lots of trips planned!). I don't know how to crochet but I assume it's as relaxing as knitting. Does it put you to sleep, too?? LOL
ReplyDeleteHi Linda,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for hosting To-Do Tuesday...I bass my weekly crafting
on this. I like your bed runner. I need to make one for my bed. My feet
get cold, I can't sleep when my feet are cold..ha. Have a great day!
Glad that TDT is beneficial to you, it is for me as well. Maybe I need to make a crochet runner with a heater in it - lol!
DeleteHow nice to meet the family! We've just planned a day at the State Fair for early October with our son's family. Hopefully they can make it. Look at you getting some crocheting done. Not my favorite activity but it really looks nice on the bed. Have a Quilty week!
ReplyDeleteThe State Fair sounds like fun! Thanks for visiting. :)
DeleteBeautiful family photo,Linda. How wonderful that ya'll could get together. Your crocheted bed runner is gorgeous. Love the colors that you used. Thank you so much for hosting the link party. Looking forward to seeing your Get on Board project.
ReplyDeleteLovely family!! And I love your bed runner.
ReplyDeleteThat WAS a great visit and the thunderstorm must have felt so good. The colours of your bed runner are striking! I really love it! How wonderful you had a bit of crochet time with your granddaughters. I learned to crochet from my grandmother too.

I'm sure I commented last week about our family gatherings that we have started having monthly.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad Marsha! I hope everyone in your family is feeling better.
DeleteWhat fun to have family gathered around, and enjoy good food and good times! Your bed runner is lovely!
ReplyDeleteIt was, Michelle - thanks for visiting!
ReplyDeleteI was so busy doing my to-do list that I didn't have time to actually write about it. LOL! I'm so glad your family weekend was so enjoyable. <3 Blessings!
ReplyDeleteFamily visits, good food and a completed crochet pattern sure sounds like the makings of a great week Linda. 😉
