OMG — how great is this packaging?! I ran into Waldbaum’s last night to grab two things and saw a display of this pasta.

Now I want every box of these. I want to hang them on my kitchen wall.

Did I ever tell you that Boar loves trains? He has a dream of walking the right of way ala The Station Agent. On our way to Rhinebeck he noticed lots of pedestrians on the old train bridge that crosses the Hudson in Poughkeepsie. Sunday morning we drove around until we found the one end of the path. The bridge (and surrounding pathways) have been turned into a state park – Walkway Over the Hudson! Boar was thrilled!

What are you doing on Sunday?  I’ve got something fun planned – the Cinema Arts Center is showing the documentary Handmade Nation: The Rise of DIY, Art, Craft, and Design. They are also planning “a micro indie craft fair (goodie bags for the first 50 folks), art exhibit, a skillshare or two, some creative/interactive performance art, and a book signing with author/filmmaker Faythe Levine!”

so how about it?

The minute I sit on the sofa I become a bullseye!

I am nearing the end on my most recent knitting project and have decided that before I begin the next new thing, I will absolutely finish two other projects — one needs only the buttons to be sewn on and the other needs to be seamed.  Those last details always defeat me.  ergh.
