sneak peek

i promise knitting content sometime in the near future. but not now. why?

because we just moved.






please ignore the boxes, etc., and focus on that ladder. one of the coolest things about the new house?


it has a loft, from which one can take great photos!


also wall-to-wall carpeting, which the bunnies love!


and a headless buddha on the back patio!

we're still working on it - lots of pictures to hang, bunny-proofing to do, and a dining table & chairs to buy. as much as i hate moving - and we do it too often - this place is amazing. i'm loving it already!

wool & bears, everywhere!

although we were only there for one and a half days, b and i managed to see quite a few of my favorite things with the family while we were in the NEK.

farmers' markets there know what's really important - cinnamon rolls and warm mittens!




the awesomeness of "downtown saint johnsbury" - handknit socks and bears in hats!




b and i rode the horse at polly's pancake parlor -


and climbed around the basin and lost river -







all in all, a quick but wonderful trip. i can't wait to go back in the winter!

long ago in a land far far away

okay, maybe not so long ago (although it already feels like it). but certainly far away. on friday, b and i saw most of the day from an airplane - from los angeles to boston - and as night fell, hopped in a car to drive the three hours north to the northeast kingdom. the reason?


mike and beige finally got married!

i've known these kids for a long, long time and can't believe they've finally done it! beige and i met through a local children's theater group when we were 11, and mike joined the gang in high school. i was so lucky that the two of them decided to live in los angeles for a few years; beige was my main crafting companion and she went all-out for this wedding. i kept catching glimpses of beautiful handmade details - from her necklace to the wall hangings to the garlands on the tables. and mike, ever the artist, even designed the glass etchings!

beige and mike are also rabbit companions, so mike's dad made a surprise wedding ornament:


but b and i snuck into the house to visit the real thing!


it was a great time -


we met up with old friends -


and new(er) -

and it was totally worth the trip!
