blur........
Oh, how the days are flying by!
My sister Kelly made her 3rd annual trek to Maryland Sheep & Wool this year...
Last year we dyed yarn...this year we did something quite different.
We got Tattoos.
It says Om Mani Padme Hum- Click for translation
I'll let her show you hers...
Needless to say, it was a wonderful experience with my sister...one that I'll remember forever.
Spent the first day like we did last year (Donna came on Sunday)
(more pics to come)
In the blur...
I also have been furiously knitting on TRELLIS.
I fell in love with this years ago...
Decided to make it for my Best Friend Kelley who is expecting her first baby. (!!!)
She also is keeping the gender of the baby a surprise.
(sigh)
BUT....Wonderful for me...being that green was also the color of her nursery.
It also happens that Rowan Wool Cotton comes in a lovely shade of green.
I finished this beauty up on Saturday am (1:03 am - to be exact)
Yo, procrastination, Yo!
I went to the baby shower at Noon on Saturday...she opened my pressie first (yay!)
Happiness all around.
She loved it. She's a great one, she KNOWS the value and effort of a handknitted gift.
I love her for that.

The Day I Saw the Queen...
For once, my camera was cooperating....talk about a great shot!
It was lovely.
Once in a lifetime!
I was like a foot from her...she's tiny!
She's a fast walker too, she moved down the line...soooo fast!
I just love that her bag and shoes are coordinated.
I think this is a first for GSFC in my tenure there....snipers on the roof!
Yeah...Secret Service Guys are so so so so very DELISH!!
rowr!
Today was really really really cool.
