summer in the past tense

Someone asked me the other day how my summer was, and I was so happy to hear summer associated with the past!  Oh, I how I love fall and winter and spring and endure summer!  It’s usually about the time that I succumb to the annual Summer Cold (brought on by the lack of fresh [...]

think pink

When I learned that Project Spectrum’s August color was pink, I didn’t think I’d find much in my photo folders to work with. I don’t know why I thought that! Every color can be found in nature. All one needs to do is look! Happy Friday!  Let’s have a great weekend!  

blues

Because when you’re blue, it’s best to look up. (Click on any picture for an image slideshow)

it’s friday and i’m not singing the blues!

Yay, the weekend’s almost here! Last month I saw these hydrangea blooms at the farmer’s market and had to bring them home. They don’t last long as cut flowers, but they are gorgeous while they last! I was hoping project spectrum would give me a chance to showcase them. Now I get to enjoy them [...]

frazzled

It’s been a busy week!  I am bowled over by the response to my Blankets for Birmingham post – people are so kind and generous! I’ve started a blanket from yarn in my stash: Saffron Cables from IK’s Fall 2006 issue, using 12 skeins of Misti Alpaca Pima Cotton & Silk.  I bought this yarn [...]

ECF – Asheville edition

Beauty courtesy of the ginkgo trees, photo editing courtesy of tilt shift maker. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!  I  plan to clear the mantle of the many knitting projects that have accumulated, take photographs of recent FOs and WIPs, sandwich a quilt (or maybe two!) and enjoy the weather!

happy friday!

Sorry about the disappearing post yesterday, I deleted it when I realized it was a moaning and groaning post and I try to avoid that! The dahlias are back at the farmer’s market! Couldn’t you just eat this one? Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

sparkler creations

Have a great weekend!  I’ve been so busy spinning this week that I haven’t taken any pictures, but I’ll rectify that over the weekend!  Tootles!

friday flower

The zinnias are starting to bloom! Hope you have a great weekend!
