A Movie and Some Love(s)...

Ahhhh...it has been one of those Saturdays. Perfect combination of getting things done and enjoying the day.

Did the weekend housecleaning last night, so that I could wake up today without worry. By taking care of that chore last night, it freed up my afternoon to catch a movie and lunch with the sister.  The movie was even better than I had hoped. The sister had read the book and was really excited to see the movie. According to her the movie was a very good mirror of the book. I recommend it highly.

Lunch was just as good as the movie. I took her to my favorite place for Buffalo Chicken Pizza. Normally I am not one for adding things other than what I consider the norm on pizza. For instance, I don't order salad pizzas or bbq chicken pizzas. So when a friend told me that BJ's has the best buffalo chicken pizza, I was hesitant. Well, after one bite and many visits later, I crave it like a mad woman. With an ice cold beer it is perfection! Now I warn you it isn't much to look at(a least in it 's leftover state), but wow.

 
 Want to know what else I am in love with, this fine Saturday?

• Everything she knits. The green tweed on the needles especially.
• Reading her week in a life. Something about her posts makes me feel peaceful. Can't explain.
• Admiring these bowls, as I imagine having the will to make some homemade oatmeal to fill them.
• Imaging myself making this, with my leftover sock yarn, yet knowing full well, I never will.

Have you found any new loves this week?

***The scarf above is one of the many WIPsI have on the needles. I have been good about trying to focus on one WIP at time, but the color was just too scrumptious not to share. Yarn is Cascade Heritage Sock in Blood Orange and the pattern is the Checkerboard Lace Scarf.

I absolutely adore the Bee Keeper quilt. If I has the patience I would so make one but alas I know it won't happen but I think I might have enough stamina for perhaps a cushion. Have a good weekend :)

Aww, great post, Andi! Love all your "loves" and you must tell me what it is you're knitting in that beautiful rusty orange yarn!!

I saw "The Help" last week and loved it. I, too, had also read the book, and I thought that they did a good job of pulling out the major plot lines to include in the movie. I was particularly impressed with Viola Davis as Abilene.

I had to laugh at what you said about the Beekeeper Quilt, because I saw it on Ravelry and admired it, but I know I would never in a million years knit it!

Nice looking scarf! Oh, The help is good? I saw the trailer and thought I'd like to see it. Now I know! What a great idea to clean up on Friday night!
