Happy Homemaker 2019-10-07

Morning!  October is here

A regular 4-day work week.  We had our fire-alarm exercise at work on Friday.. and it was cold!  Also had my 1st 'sentinelle' job to do... had to tell a coworker to go make her personal calls in a room and not in front of everybody - I wasn't there when it happened but I was told I had to go tell her because she disrupted everyone - she was talking very loudly with her daughter (I've heard her before and it really is disrupting).  

Had a spanish dinner on Thursday and posture class on Friday.  Friday we ran errands after work - got a new kitchen faucet as the other was leaking and did groceries.

Over the weekend my husband mowed the lawn, put the wood structure inside the gazebo so the roof doesn't crash with the weight of snow during the winter, changed kitchen faucet, and cut a few branches off the tree.

What I am knitting, crocheting and crafting

Knitted wool socks  - both pair of socks are up to the easy parts so it will be put aside for awhile.

Crochet baby blanket (on my 4th ball of yarn)

Start crochet items for the baby

A simple pleasure
