You were knit together

A friend of mine is expecting her second baby girl this fall. I knit this adorable little bonnet with alpaca yarn in a pretty golden yellow. I hope she loves it :)

 

Hello August

We have had beautiful sunsets this summer. Rainbows and pink skies. So pretty.

I'm still knitting my Tecumseh and started my Framed Sweater for Rhinebeck. 

I am in love with it! 

A new sourdough starter is showing off (thank you Joan for sharing) and I made my first loaf today. It will be used for some yummy tomato, mozzarella and basil sandwiches.

I caught up with my knitting friends over coffee this morning. It's been a busy start to August!

 

Monmouth County Fair

 

Liz, my mom and I entered a few things into the Monmouth County Fair Home & Garden Competition.

We always enjoy the fair and seeing all the 4-H kids, animals, talented pieces and all the gardening entries. We all brought home some ribbons! 

More of Summer

 Summer nights and days with family, sun, sand and smiles.

This and That and Celebrations

Just a few pictures from the week so far...

Some of the apple tree barn boys.

THIS BOOK!!!!!!!! I read half of it in one night. I need a few hours to finish.

It's sad, it's happy, it's heartbreaking, but hopeful. I'm loving it. Still knitting my Farmhouse Dishcloth.

Planning to cast on the new Andrea Mowry Rhinebeck sweater, Framed!!!! Need to finish my Tecumseh first but these colors are what I'm thinking for the sweater.

Every morning I'm awaken by this goofball catapulting himself to my bedroom screen window. Then I roll over, open the screen and he makes his way in for breakfast.

Celebrating 25 wedding anniversary at Nicholas Barrel and Roost. It was our first time there and we loved it. We will be back!

And our baby of the family is officially a teenager today! Happy 13th birthday to the little boy that completed our family. He's awesome. I'm so lucky to be his mom.

That's him as a little guy!!! Ooooh I miss that baby face!
