autumn leaves

look at this...I just had to try this.

This is from leaves from my maple tree in the backyard. Isn't it just gorgeous?
It's from this website  http://www.lobzik.pri.ee/modules/news/article.php?storyid=244
I had to use google translator to get the gist of it. Really simple, I made this in under 20 minutes.

and this is what the trees look like with the leaves still on:

The colours this year are absolutely spectacular. Driving to work I get to see fields of this. It is awesome.

...and another one I missed...

....this is Flamenco 2.0 - Noro wool. Interesting to knit with. Love the look of this one. It's sort of our every day shawl for cool days.

fun or what?

Bella Roque

Forgot to add photos of the finished product. I ended up making 2 as the green one didn't match my dress. I ended up making it in black with green beads.
It did look smashing....if I do say so myself  ;)

The last one is the black one... hard to see the colours.

Lazy Anna

Just a few pictures of my lazy Anna, which went to my mother-in-law for her birthday. She is always cold and loves warm things around her neck. So this was perfect for her.

I really enjoyed making this one. It was quick and easy, and I didn't need a whole room to block it.

Summer....ending....sigh

Hi all.

Well summer nights are getting cooler and I can hear the geese flying overhead. That is a sure sign of summer ending. The other day driving down to work, I noticed that the leaves are starting to turn colour already. I am depressed.  However, it is a great day today and I really should be outside instead of inside at the computer.
Yesterday we had a lovely breakfast outside and I so enjoyed that. Hopefully there will be more days for that yet to come.
I have started a new mystery by Birgit Freyer - Heavenly G - and I am finished clue 2, now it's repeat clue 3 - 3 times. It's a slow progress. This one will be a poncho. We had the option of choosing a shawl, cape or poncho. I decided on the poncho just for something different.
Pictures will follow once I clear my camera of the wedding shots.

Our dining room is sold and will be picked up in 2 weeks. That was totally unexpected as I have had no response from Craigslists. The guy delivered wood and was interested in our dining room - sold!  Just like that. I had just finished printing some flyers to put on the local store bulletin board. So much for that.
Then I was making flyers to sell our piano and decided to do some research on it instead. I found out that it was built locally anywhere from 1879 to 1912, It's an antique!  So now we're not sure what to do. We may just keep it and have it restored at some point, or donate it to the local museum if they want it.
We'll see how well it fits with our new furniture when it arrives in October. Can't wait!!

Mystic Glance #2

OK.  so I knit a second one because the first one didn't match my dress for the wedding. This one is now black and I knit in lime green beads. It actually looks really good with the beads.

It's so hard to get the beads to show up. Maybe one of these days I'll get a good shot. Hey..maybe at the wedding?

So now I am going to place an add to sell my dining room. As the kids are moving into their own house in a couple of weeks, we have ordered new furniture and I need to get rid of the old stuff.
