Debbi_bliss_baby_bolero001

At long last, a finished project! Our friends just welcomed their first grandchild (yes it’s true, I am now old enough to have friends who are grandmas and grandpas). I made a baby bolero using a Debbie Bliss pattern and baby cashmerino. That yarn is sumptuous. I hit the jackpot at Macy’s and found a darling dress and bonnet to match. Here is a closer look.

Did you notice the metal rimmed tag? It’s an embossed tag saying it is handmade by me – I got the embosser in 2003 from Martha Stewart , I was going to include a link to it but can’t find it anywhere on her site – I don’t think she is selling them anymore.

Beginning today, I will be attending a three day spinning workshop with Celia Quinn. It is being hosted by the local spinning guild – have I mentioned how much I love this guild?

I have been neglecting ye olde blogge these past few days. I am tired, slightly cranky and not very chatty. Daylight Savings Time has brought out a beast in me! I feel out of kilter.

Tomorrow I am going on an excellent field trip and expect a complete reversal of spirits. I am hopping on the train – along with Ricki and Peggy – and going into the city to see these ladies. Cara and Wendy will be there as well – and who knows who else!

Expect full blogging to resume on Thursday : )

so who’s the banana head now?

that friend I mentioned earlier? well here’s what happened during a long and somewhat confusing conversation about the new HBO series Big Love, the show about polygamy.

I say something or other about the Bill Paxton character ….

she says, “what do you mean, the Bill Paxton character?”

I say, “I can’t think of his name, but the husband, the guy Bill Paxton plays”

she says, “Do you mean it’s not a reality series???!!”
