i'm kinda in a little trouble but its not that bad...

so it started with this suri merino from the bargain bin...

and i had promised to make dave a hat... (yeah i know he thought the last one was too big but its ok. he likes the way my brother's turned out so if i can duplicate the result...anyway.

and i have to make 2 pair of the fiber trends felted ballet slippers...

and the icing on the cake michaels had a secret sale on novelty and i've been eyeing this ticker tape ribbon yarn for a year... so there we have it my no buying yarn promise out the window...but $2.79??? how could i resist?

and in my defense this hat for my nephew (his christmas hat shhhh don't tell) is entirely made of stash yarn. so i've moved 2 balls from stash to leftovers after i finish this so i'm not completely fired...the question is can i finish it? that and the slippers. well just one pair, but both before christmas??? no i'mnot crazy, i'm not talking about the real christmas the one thats a few days after the real christmas. the one that happens at dad's house!

anyway those are my recent additions to the stash, and they won't be stash for long i've got plans for it all!

what do you do

with a beautiful day off? well we went for a "scent"ic drive out to the beach. we being the dog. and me. she loves to stick her nose out the window and smell where we are going. we took a few lonely roads. ok, so maybe like 10 little roads. i make turns at random when i'm not in a hurry. and can you blame me? just check out the view! it really was spectacular. i would love to live out this way! we finally arrived at north beach in point reyes national seashore. they have a few beaches where leashed pets are allowed. i snacked on a quick lunch of tomatoes, figs, raisins, and almonds (from the farmer's market again) then we headed down to the water. my baby is 12 and she's never seen the ocean. i must be a terrible mother or something. she was just staring and staring. she couldn't get enough. after repeatedly chasing and running away from the waves for a half an hour she was content to just sit back and relax on a dune. and then she stood and told me it was ti...
