Peace Out

I was a little irritated with myself after the previous two posts (as you probably were too) - too much complaining, not enough doing. So last week on the Friday afternoon I had off, I finished my sweater (Peace, by Kim Hargreaves) while sipping a lovely iced latte on a front porch. Well, almost finished...there should be buttons and button loops here, but I'm thinking I only one want button, just at the base of the v-neck. Jury's still out on that one.



Here's the non-modeled, highly edited version to show the pretty stitches:



Specs can be found on my project page on ravelry...(I'm under bella blu mama) - I tried to link but it didn't work. Who knows how to do that?

But knitting wasn't on the list of neglected activities...so Saturday, I baked some pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, complete with freshly grated nutmeg (who knew nutmeg looked so cool on the inside?) and whipped out the camera for some picture and video taking.



Here's a little snapshot of what my neighbor calls a Horton Hears A Hoo plant:



And here's one of the rainbow we had that night:



So yeah. Sick of complaining. It's summer time, the day is long. The vegetable and herb gardens are springing to life (no pictures on them just yet...but wait and see).
