just a few things.....

So, just thought I'd throw a few things up that have been going on around here, put these bags together and hung them on my art room wall in hopes of containing the knitting chaos, eight bags, eight projects, it kinda sorta works....


My wonderful sister sent to me the best wool I have ever seen/felt, the colors are amazing, put them all in our mema's flour jar between working on it, think it looks like the best candy, the project with it is going to take awhile, but should be alot of fun when it is done, very under the sea themed.



Alaphabet peppers, habaneros, need a really good salsa recipe, if you have one pass it to me please!!!!








This leather bag in one of my faves, made it from some leather from salem glove co. and some linen, want to do anther out of this lee jofa fabric and brown velvet, do you think the aqua linen works??? Want to use the wood bracelets to connect the handles to the bag, think there should be a zipper too.





This is out or Noro Iro, the best yarn ever, love the cable pattern, want more of the yarn....











New fave hat, made from the simple pleasures pattern on purlbee, out of baby suri and baby alpaca lace, snuggly enough to keep you warm, loose enough to avoid hat head.










My first real sweater, love it, out of merino wool that feels like silk, it is the perfect through on over a cami do.












Monster squash, this is what happens when you cant find squash because the plants are soooooo big.










These are some kinda spicy peppers, made my eyes water just sitting on the table.













So this is a little out of order, bedroom shot with really cheap ikea lamps that i glued paper onto and then strung with crystals, table painted red by himself, (these are the sort of nice things your husband will do for you when they are laid off)









This is the other nice thing your husband will do for you while he is looking for his next job, he will grow the most beautiful garden in the world, this is an oasis, it is a treasure hunt every day to see what is out there, and if only I could capture a picture of the bumble bee who lives here, it is massive, and so bumble beeish it just doesnt look real at all.
