Dear community,
I wish you all a wonderful weekend. Do you have plans for the weekend? Will there be enough time for crafting?

Thank you, Josefa—I wish the same for you and, of course, for everyone else here too!
Yes, I’ve taken care of my doctor’s appointment and the weekend shopping, so now it’s time for everything that’s fun. Right now, I’m crocheting another one of those bags from scraps—it’s a great way to clear out the scrap box—and it’ll probably be finished by tomorrow at the latest. Then I’ll have to see what I’ll take up next.
Tomorrow evening I’m going to a birthday party—the first of my closest friends is turning 80. Good heavens, I can’t even really picture that yet, but well, we’re not exactly spring chickens anymore. Where has the time gone?
I have a vague memory that there’s a flea market at the stadium on Sunday—I’ll have to Google it again; I’d love to stroll through it.

Wishing everyone here a lovely, relaxing weekend

Tomorrow we’re celebrating our birthdays with family.

On Sunday, after tidying up, we’ll get cozy.

Let’s see what comes after the pillow... No plans yet – maybe a UFO will land 👽👽

Thanks, Josefa—I wish that for you and everyone else here too: a lovely, sunny weekend that’s not too hot.
As for me, I’ll be at my sewing machine, making my new clothes. :-).
We do have the Bavarian Rowing Championships here in Schweinfurt tomorrow. My youngest granddaughter is rowing too, but since they’re forecasting over 30° here tomorrow, I’m not going—it’s way too hot for me, and I don’t want to pass out, no thanks. Especially since I’m not feeling particularly well right now anyway; the strength in my legs is dropping off drastically, and I’m having trouble standing and walking.
Thank goodness I have crafts and such to keep me busy and take my mind off things.

Love, Inge

Thank you, and I wish you all a relaxing weekend as well.

To you, dear Inge , get well soon. That’s true—our hobbies are great for unwinding and taking our minds off things. I can really relax and lose myself in my creativity.

I have to fill in for laundry duty on Sunday—otherwise, I’m free until Wednesday. I’m going to enjoy that to the fullest. After all, my “battery” needs recharging, too.

Inge, that doesn’t sound good… hopefully better times are ahead.

We were at my sister’s yesterday and picked up some more of the things she’s been sorting through; since she’s getting the keys to her new accessible apartment in August, she’s pretty nervous right now.
I’ll be back at her place on Monday. She just has to part with a lot of things that won’t fit in her new, smaller apartment.
But the prospect of being able to shower on her own again and leave the house by herself gives her strength.

In a little while, I’m going to plant a few more things in the flower bed. We spent a few days by the sea in Holland, and there’s a huge garden center nearby that I just can’t resist…

This afternoon we’re invited to a friend’s birthday party.
I’ve crocheted something for the occasion, as usual.

He’s an amazing grill master—the other day he served ribs that he’d cooked for hours on a bed of vegetables and potatoes.
He always keeps a roll of paper towels next to him, which he can now replace with this beer mug filled with facial tissues.
I hope he likes it.
