I was getting tired of the old look blog-look. I'm still debating on whether I like this look or not. What do you think?
Regarding knitting, I'm almost finished with a baby sweater. I'll post some pix when it is completed.
Over the weekend I purchased 5 balls of Muench Touch Me yarn - this yarn feels so yummy and is appropriately named touch me. I'll be making a scarf our of the Scarf Style book with this yarn.
Later this week I will be taking a road trip with my parents and brother down to Shreveport, LA. I have not been on a road trip with the family in a very long time - I'm thinking at 15 years or so. This should be an interesting trip - I'm happy that I'll have my knitting with me.
That is all for now. Keep on knittin'

It has been way too long
All, It has been way to long. A lot has happened since I last posted.
Turning 30
Most importantly, I turned 30 - hooray!!! In case you were wondering, I had a spectacular birthday. My lovely husband, Andy, completely out did himself - and set the bar VERY high. He planned and executed a wonderful surprise party one Friday evening, then took me to a wonderful spa - Sundara - for the remainder of the weekend. While at Sundara we both received massages. A couple of hours after our massage, he surprised me with a bottle of 1996 Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon - this was a wedding gift to us several years ago. We had been waiting a long time for the perfect moment to open this bottle - my 30th birthday was absolutely the perfect time. Thanks to all of you that made my birthday spectacular.
Buttons & Pins
This summer I have amassed a large button collection. My collection of buttons is beginning to rival my collection of yarn - very scary! Here are some pictures of a few of my favorite buttons and pins that I
have added to my collection this summer.
Knitting
I have been knitting - several baby items, a hemp ponchette (which I already gave away), and of course my favorite felted purses. Since my last post I have made at least an additional 4 purses. It is getting to be that time when I need to start planning my knitted Christmas gifts. I can't believe that it is almost already Fall.
That is all for now. Drop me a line sometime.
Happy knitting!
