My newest knit - short lucky. I'm 8" into it and loving it. It's knit from the bottom up, which was causing me a panic attack hoping it won't be too short, but I'm simply knitting the length longer by 2 inches or so if it works, so all should be well. The color in this picture is not exactly right - it's more of an olive green than this grey toned green. I'm hoping to have it done by the weekend. I want to wear it in the worst way......
Jessie and I went shopping yesterday. For nothing fun (Jessie's medication, jeans for Todd and Tyler, a new wisk attachment for my KitchenAid mixer) until we stopped at the junk store. You know you will find something good in a store with a name called "Useful Junk," right? I had to have this scale and wait until you see the bench. The best $20 I spent all day. And that girl can shop with the best of them....
Jessie's comment was "good - we can use this scale to weigh out the pig feed this summer for her fair pigs." ummmm.....no. My postage scale goes down to a tenth of an ounce - I will use that again - what can I say - my obsessive compulsive tendencies come out when I'm weighing out pig feed.
I was in the mood to bake when we got home. Had to try out my new wire wisk and the silicone pastry mat I brought, right?
Sorry I didn't get a picture of the pie before we cut into it. What can I say - the kids and Todd love berry pies.....
And the basketball? 16 to 6 in our favor... The girls were a little intimidated when they first got out there - 3 of the girls on the other team were easily 5'6" tall.
So we now have 1 more game this weekend and then a tournament game. Right now our girls are in second place overall in their division.

You are always so busy! That's funny about you being OCD on the pig's feed! LOL!
Sounds like a fun weekend :) Good job basketball girls! Basketball is done for us & we're on to volleyball & track.
I love junk stores and one named "Useful Junk" would TOTALLY draw me in! I love your latest knit...and thanks for the link to the pattern. I love her blog!
Your pie looks amazing - so full of flavour! Love your antique scale - a great find.
Oh my goodness, knitting, baking, shopping, and basketball. BUSY LADY! I love how your daughter wants to weigh the feed on your WONDERFUL scale. I LOVE THAT SCALE!!
