...starting with a sky picture (because you knew I would).

Morning blues

Things are still drying out, but the rain is supposed to start up again soon.

Our garden is starting to come to life again. The weeping Santa Rosa plum tree has lots of buds and a few blossoms:

Buds on the Weeping Santa Rosa Plum tree

Our daffodils are starting to bloom. I've been playing with Picnik again...here's an edited daffodil picture for you (click to embiggen):

There are a couple more pictures in my Flickr photostream.

On the craft front, I've wound the yarn for my Rockin' Sock Club socks and strung all the beads:

Queen of Beads socks, ready to start

As soon as I finish the Jaywalkers, I'm starting on these socks. I'm finally to the toes of the Jaywalkers (YAY!), so I'm hoping to finish them this weekend.

Also up this weekend, start getting my stuff organized for Stitches West. I'm taking some extra time off next week, so I have plenty of time. I just want to make sure that I know whether I'm missing anything and make sure to do my homework for one class. I'm only working Monday and Tuesday next week and I'm looking forward to that!

Love the daffodils...where Wordsworth lived in Grasmere, Lake District, England, was one of the places we visited on our British Isle trip....we toured the darling "cottege" where he wrote most of his poetry about Daffodils...I have a book from there, what an interesting man! Not without strives of life.... also the Daffodil is the flower of Breast Cancer...so it's very dear to my heart....mine are starting to come up in my flowerbed, be some time before they bloom, but I sure love them....

Have a great weekend, and prepare, prepare and prepare, (yeah right, like you won't have your homework done!)....as I've said sooooo many times....you're just awesome and amazing...what an honor to call you my best friend! I "guess" we may not talk Wednesday??? Let me know...Granny on the go...get to play with the baby tomorrow, AND help Laurie decorate her room!!!!!!
Love Ya...thanks for the SEES!... my big "chore for the weekend"...haha

Blogiversary Contest...

...Happy Blogiversary to me!! It's been 3 years since I started this blog. In that time I've gone from being mostly a cross-stitcher and quilter to being a knitter and spinner. I still cross stitch and quilt, but I spend far more of my craft time knitting and spinning. In honor of the blog turning 3, I'm having a contest! Leave a comment in this post to be entered in a drawing for a skein of Sundara Petals Collection sock yarn (or a skein of my handspun, if you prefer). The winner will be chosen at random from all entrants. Deadline: 1/12/09 at Midnight (Pacific time) Good luck! (Jaywalker socks in progress)

Yeah, who knew I'd still be doing this five years later? There have been a few changes since my first post . I'm no longer just a stitcher and quilter. I've added knitter, spinner, and weaver to the list. I also dabble in macro photography I changed the name of the blog to be more "me." I changed the layout. I have more than one reader. (Don't burst my bubble, please. LOL!) I've settled into a MWF schedule of posting, except when life and work get in the way. I still find the blog a useful journal of the projects I have in process and my mindset at the time I'm working on them. A little personal stuff gets thrown in from time to time. So, for now, blogging is still working for me. If you've been reading all along...thanks for joining me on this little journey! I plan on continuing as long as it is still useful for me. OK, on to the contest: Leave a comment on this post by Midnight PST, Wednesday 1/19/11. (No, multiple comments will ...

Eye Candy Friday...

...and another week races by! We have a few blooming things in the garden. This Icelandic Poppy is on the ledge outside the kitchen window: We have some bright yellow calendulas filling a container in the back yard: and these unusual pink flowers are in another contains. Don't ask me what they are...I have no idea: Up this weekend: We're taking a shopping trip to one of my favorite stores, The Container Store . I have placed an online order for some of the items I'll need for my December baking spree. I planned to go by myself to pick it up, but The Husband wants to look for small jars to repackage the olives he's brineing. We don't shop together, so this is a nice outing for the two of us. Don't tell The Husband, but we will also be going to Williams-Sonoma, which is in the same shopping center. I need to buy the dry brine and the gravy base for Thanksgiving. I always make a special trip for this, so if I can do it on the same shopping run, s...
