Farmer's Market

A friend and I meet some Saturdays at the Ferry Plaza Farmer's Market at o-dark thirty to catch up. After the coffee and the breakfast sandwich, and hours of fast talking, we go out to get any vegetables and flowers. It is my favorite way to begin a Saturday. All is right with the world.

The market was especially colorful this morning.

Box Bags

I was inspired by some conversations this week. And I pushed through some projects. I've had the fabric for a while.

I love the way the contrast fabric just peeks out from behind the handle. (of course, the bag is lined in the same fabric.
I have wanted to try these since I saw this, and then these.

Beautiful Things

I have been working on my vest. It is delicious.

But here are pictures of some of my other favorite things.

I spent some time at Aveda. So it follows that I spent some money at Aveda too.

We are puppy sitting for friends who are out of the country, and we had a little dinner to introduce the puppy to my nephew, who is 5. It was a charming evening.

Perfection

Here is a picture of a perfect afternoon.
A Latte, A Mac, and a sweater on the needles.
Wonderful Fall.

Done

The textures here are just so amazing.

I highly recommend it!

A Second Try

I worked up this vest last year. I loved it, and wore it a couple of times.
And then, it got wrapped up in the sheets, and sent off to the laundry. It felted. (of course it did) Emotionally, I am just about ready to sew up the bottom, and make a bag.

And so I have picked a new color, and started again. This one will be a dusty lavender.

Ivory Ab. Fab. Kit

I'm 9 rows from finishing.
This is the Absolutely Fabulous Throw Kit from Colinette in Ivory. The textures are beautiful.
It's knit on a size 11 US.
I will be fringing until my fingers bleed.
It cracks me up when we shorten the name of this project to "Ab Fab" because of the reference to the Brit Com of the same name. This elegant blanket is so subtle and understated, and hand made, and 'real'. Such a contrast to the botox, hair spray, world of "instant coffee" and "make believe with Eddy, Saphie, Patsy... and the rest of the gang.
