This has been a fun summer is so many ways!
In July, my dear husband Max, had a birthday. It was a special one...but I won't embarrass him by telling his age! His brother and sisters took us out to dinner which was so sweet of them. A good time and good food was had by all...
We've been having a wonderful time babysitting our grandson 3 days a week plus our "Saturday night date" with him. Cheerios have been VERY popular around the Moser household this summer!
We even bought a little cup with a cover where he can reach in and pull out Cheerios to eat. He loves that little cup!
My oldest son Michael (known as "Uncle Mike" to Charlie) had a birthday at the end of July. We had a party for him and I'm not sure who had more fun: Mike or Charlie! He's a wonderful uncle to Charlie. As a mom, I am allowed to say that Michael is thoughtful, kind, and always so generous to others. I feel very proud to have him as a son. We had cupcakes at his party with a candle on his:
Also, Charlie and I make a special card for “Uncle Mike”. On the outside of the card, we glued little squares in the shape of a car and Charlie did some coloring on it:
On the inside, we glued a heart which Charlie colored with crayons:
We glued the shapes on since our Michael is visually impaired and would be able to “feel” the card.
We’ve been having fun in my Summer knitting classes. Here are some of the projects my students are making:
Peg is working on a jacket with a wonderful cable edging on the sleeves and front of the jacket.
Mary W. is working on her first cardigan sweater…and doing a beautiful job with it!
Joyce is working on the Sampler Scarf. She’s really having fun with the yarn she’s using that makes wonderful designs in each section of the scarf.
I discovered a wonderful treasure while going through some scrapbooks that I had forgotten I even had! I found some pictures of my brother and me when we were about 3 years old:
My dad’s parents (we called them “Granddaddy” and “Alma Dear” ) came to Petersburg,Virginia to visit us:
Here Bill and I were riding a stick hobby horse:
I was so thrilled to find these pictures! An unexpected blessing.
Our kitty, Izzie, had a fun summer. She found various ways of keeping cool—like on top of the TV!:
I finished all my Christmas knitting by mid-August! Except for 2 “more challenging” projects, most of it was relaxing and fun. Here is a picture of 2 of my “relaxing” projects:
I also made a pin to go with one of the projects:
And to celebrate my finishing my Christmas knitting, I’m going to share the pattern for the pin with you:
( when you go to the shortcut above, you may experience distortion but that will go away once you down load the patterns.)
Students who weren’t in the Summer classes are starting to sign up for the Fall classes. It will be such fun seeing them all again! The Fall classes start in the middle of October so if you’d like to sign up, email me at: notesfromknitclass@gmail.com
Don’t you just love this poster- - it says what I’d like to think my “motto” is!
Dear Readers,
I hope all of you had a summer filled with lots of fun activities.
Just as ours was filled with many blessings, be sure and take time to count your blessings…
Fondly, Mary
