vacation is coming...

After a summer of working, I'm finally going on a little vacation. This weekend my family and I are heading out to Martha's Vineyard for what should be a wonderful and relaxing vacation. And to get me pumped up, I've been trying to find the perfect project to bring with me!

I was hoping to be able to finish my Nightsongs shawl by the time we are leaving, but I'm not sure if I will get to or not. If I do finish by some chance, I doubt I'll be able to block it. But here's to hoping...

I've named it Beigesong!

I'm supposed to have 7 repeats, and I think I've got 5 so far. I'm using a worsted (Blue Heron rayon/metallic) in place of a fingering weight yarn, so I'm not sure if I'll need all 7 repeats. Maybe 6 will suffice.

My dilemma is this: I thought it would be fun and easy to bring a shawl along for a project but after just finishing one, will I want to make another?? Another option is a garment--a top-down sweater maybe? And then, what yarn to use?! I need to use something out of my stash.

Top choices coming soon...

yay camera!!

I've been wanting a camera for quite some time now. Over breakfast, Bryan and I were sitting drinking coffee and looking at the newspaper. In the sale flyer, we saw a camera and I casually said, "I want a camera." He says, "OK, let's go get it."

voila!

I got a Nikon Coolpix camera, just a nice little point-and-shoot thing. I've already taken about 100 pictures, mostly of the cats :)




aren't they precious??

there's also a lot of yarny things coming...
