In my life this week…It was a good week. Normal, nothing out of the ordinary, which is always a nice thing.
Places we’re going and people we’re seeing…This week should be a good family week. Paul has three days off, which happens sometimes with his hours. It’s not always nice on the paycheck, but it’s a blessing to be able to spend more time together. We plan on going on a coffee date with a gift card I received from a friend. Plus I have a mom’s night out later this week. I always look forward to those times.
My favorite thing this past week was…Hmmm, no one thing has stood out to me. I think probably the time I got to spend working on my crafts this week was my favorite thing.
Things I’m working on…Christmas presents, cards and maybe a new crochet project. I finally finished the afghan I was crocheting, so I need a new project to start on. I might start on making some place mats.
I’m cooking…Let’s see, this week I’ve made cauliflower soup, pasta bake, dirty rice, mac & cheese and hot dogs and fries. I’m hoping to try a couple of different GF bread recipes this week too.
I’m grateful for…The many blessings in our lives. Sometimes I forget them when all I see are the things I don’t have. When that happens, I try to change my focus on all the blessings I do have. 🙂
I’m praying for…A friend who is going through some serious marriage issues.
A photo, video, link, or quote to share (silly, serious or both!)…This is the afghan I just finished. It’s not the best picture, I had to take it at night, but it’s the first one I’ve finished in quite a long time, so I’m quite excited about that. 🙂

Ordinary weeks are my favorite kinds. I love the blanket. Must have taken awhile!
Love your afghan/blanket JoAnn!
What a beautiful afghan! And it’s so nice to have that extra time with your hubby. 🙂 Fernando was laid off, and had surgery (!), but is starting a new job and will ease into it very slowly. So, he’s home a lot which like you said is not good on the paycheck but it really has been nice to share my ordinary days with him. Enjoy your time together!
Beautiful afghan! I hope that you enjoy your coffee date. My husband and I have been purposing to bring dating times back into our marriage. We missed the special moments of our early years and before children…hehe!
What a lot of work that afgan was! But it will be warm and cozy, for sure.
Simple weeks are the best, aren’t they? Ours has been kind of crazy, but I hope that will change next week.
Focusing on the good things God gives us always makes such a huge difference. I really agree with you. Have you read 1000 Gifts? It’s wonderful!
Have a great weekend!
That is a beautiful blanket! Maybe someday I will get mine finished.
