Snowman Builds Himself

Our New Place

After looking into buying we decided it was smarter to rent and save money. We found a place that is amazing and are really excited to move in June 20th - anyone want to help us??- It is so nice to know our next place will be as great as out current home.

Ganesha

I found this on my way home from a visit for work in Oakland and thought it was great. Karen & I went back on the weekend and found a ton of great graffiti.
Ganesha is the hindu god known as the remover of obstacles.

Spring Chicken

This candy dish was a wedding gift - Thanks Anj. it is super cute with jelly beans inside.

Poncho is done

This is from Last Minute Knitted Gifts too ( although It too me about 6 months to knit). The pattern uses the herringbone stitch and you connect a rectangle into the final shape. My first attempt was too narrow, so I added the strip of green. In the end I think it added to the look. I'm amazed how much I like it considering I have not worn a poncho since the 70's.

Sping has sprung around here

Karen's Grapefruit Margarita

Combine in a shaker with ice,

• 2 parts fresh squeezed grapefruit juice

• 1/2 part Patron Citronage
  

shake and enjoy

a finished knitting project

Since so many of my knitting projects are in progress, I wanted to post something that finished. I made this for myself and love it. The pattern is from last minute knitted gifts ( a joke unless you think a couple of months ahead is last minute). the book has good stuff - but not exactly " oh shit I need a gift for jenny's birthday tomorrow I better whip up a chevron scarf". The stitch is basically alternating increasing and decreasing to make curves. I made this last year in India.

What's a girl have to do to get an iPhone?

The truth is my phone stopped working because I spilled bubbles on it and i tried to rinse it out and it didn't work. I ordered my iPhone today.

This is Sexy!

Beautiful Beets

I heard Obama does not want any beets to be served in the White House, he's missing out. These were from Terra Firma Farms and were delicious roasted with salt, pepper, olive oil and juice of half of a lemon.
