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.

gingerbread houses

This year I made my first gingerbread house. I followed the recipe on you tube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0BrIBKrvS0) and created plans for construction based on the images on howcast. Howcast is a fun website with how- to- videos on anything. Anyway, after adding a bit more liquid to the dough and rolling it out with all my strength- It was fairly easy to construct. I made two and invited my buddies, Edee & Posey, to decorate one of their own. We never quite finished the roof I see - ( homeowners seem to always have unfinished projects even when they are gingerbread)

Oh Tannenbaum

We got our tree! This year I'm a bit obsessed with holiday nesting since I was out of the country last year. Here is the super longs tree all gussied- up.
