not so winter blues

you know those doldrums you get when it's cold and dreary and cloudy and you just wanna cry for no reason? well down here it really is for no reason. because it's not winter. not in the strictest most wonderful sense of the word. you see its cooler here about 70... need i go on? you folks in the cold places don't know how lucky you are. we're missing snowboarding. and watching the snow. and fires in fireplaces. and scraping off the cars even. sigh. i'm not trying to be a sad sally but sheesh. what happened to winter? i know i know we live in florida now i should be happy i could go to the beach today if i wanted to but heck. gimme some snow man!

ok.
rant over.

i have photos. really i do. they're in the camera. i can't get them out. my computer is dead/dying and the boy has to order parts. so just imagine you're seeing freshly buttonholed baby clothes. a recovered rocker and some mostly finished socks. have that image. now hang on to it. til my computer gets fixed i'm stuck using this linux thing of the boy's without photoshop, with all my nifty photo editing gadgets :(

so stay tune. k?

I hear ya! In NC, it still gets chilly (we're at 34 right now), but snow is pretty much unheard of. If it's gonna be cold anyway, give me snow!

Hope the winter doldrums leave you alone soon.

knitting updates

ok, now for a knitting update :) i know thats what you really wanted to see. here are the contents of the sockpalOOOza package that goes out in one week. i am so excited! counterclockwise from lower left: there is a sock tote for her to use the next time she knits a pair of socks, the socks, postits. my favorite way to mark patterns, a card telling her all about her socks, a postcard of longs peak to show where i'm from, a birthday card fror her to share with a knitting friend on a special day, and stitch markers. yeay! i love presents! i can't wait to mail this! and on to current knitting... so a few weeks ago i went down to highlands ranch for the Littleton meetup, i went next door to string to do a yarn exchange. thats like free yarn you know. and picked up 7 balls of this elsabeth lavold sily wool. ooooh. wonderful yarn! i know, there are only 4 in the photo. thats because my italy cardigain is well under way. 2 balls in i just stared the third and i love love love this y...

and a last farewell...before i ripped out sunrise circle i took a parting photo...this sweater was jus tnot meant to be. too many other things wanted to be finished first. soon to come the bad penny 2 that i'm making for my trip to italy!

so much to do!

with only a few days to relax. a trip to the beach turns into a blur of "i just want to sit here" mixed with "but we have to do this too" so several days worth of photos divided into day parts. cause really it is all running together :) think sandra bullock from that movie premonition where the days are out of order...but nobody's gonna die. sunrise: over the ocean. after waking up early not feeling well from a late night out with the family. i took one for the team ad finished the wine...don't do that. not good. i ran the 2 blocks to the boardwalk and over the dunes to the water to get these couple of shots. seagulls and beachcombers are your only company when it's this early! i've never seen so many mussel shells when it wasn't after dinner. midday: on the boardwalk. after the beach you go to the boardwalk to grab lunch at mack and mancos. apparently the best pizza ever. i'm not convinced. but heck i don't really get the wa...
