give thanks

Happy Thanksgiving. I have a few minutes to spend (not spare) off to finishe the preparations (read make the turkey and stuffing) I was looking something up on the net and looked out my front door to see this:

It's gorgeous. Gone now but thankfully captured in my memory and on digital photography.


Here's my winter möbius purse

Pattern: WInter Möbius bag by Cat Bordhi from the 2nd treasury of knitting
Yarn: Paton's classic wool (merino)
Color: Chestnut Brown and worn denim
Needle: US 11
Recipient: me

It's actually warm to wear. the strap is the möbius part and it acts as a kind of thin wrap when you wear it. It took me a while to post because I wanted to line it. So I needed to clean out the machine...etc but now it's ready to go for making gifts.

I have more to post but no time right now.

Have a wonderful holiday. I hope that you spend it with all your loved ones. Remember to tell them how thankful you are that they are in your life!

home again, home again

jiggity jig!

I wanted to post a few pictures from the beach....
sunrise

























sunset




























quickly fly the days.... the vacation went by so quickly.


Sad to say goodbye, perhaps only auf wiedersehen!

searching

for photos from the zoo for DD's Pennsylvania alphabet book on my external hard drive, and I came across these photos.














I remember taking this series. DS2 woke up very early one morning and to prevent him from waking everyone, we went down to the beach to watch the sun rise.



Such a peaceful start to the day. Makes me long for summer and the beach.

Red sky in morning,

sailor take warning. Red sky at night, sailor's delight

Lately, the sunsets have been really beautiful but they usually occur on my drive home and I don't keep the camera in the car. But this morning, I was up and about before the sun came up and when it did, this is what I saw.



I finished the keyhole scarf on Tuesday. Needs to be blocked... stalking the mailman for some yarn I purchased to make gifts. Hope the holiday mail doesn't hold it up too much!

Enjoy your days. It's cold here... snowed all day, but didn't amount to much. Only makes the kids at school absolutely bonkers
