Monday, July 10

just because

i am working past the second sock syndrome on my rib and cable sock. i am almost to the heel. phew! i can't wait to get something new on the needles. the sock along with my circular shrug don't make for great photo entertainment as you have seen them on the needles before. so instead, random stuff.


hi. meet my tv boyfriends. together. on the same show. i was drooling. i heart jon stewart and anderson cooper in a big way (ok so ac might be gay, but it's not like i have a chance anyway).


target score. cool cable knit bag that i debated on buying vs. knitting. for $14.99 i thought it was best to buy the thing. i love it. it is adorably slouchy.


tonight i am having my first official sit down dinner party. there will be 6 of us. i am serving up herbed cheese chicken wrapped in phyllo, salad with fried goat cheese balls, almond rice pilaf and for dessert vanilla pots de creme. mmmmmm... here is hoping i can get it all timed right. above is my centerpiece. this was my birthday gift to myself a few weeks back. i love the fake chestnuts!

knitting content someday :)

oh! i thought the green things hanging on the branch were pom-poms! i think i'm zoning in on the green things ... because i really like that fabric under the knitted bag.

man anderson and jon together in a sandwich. nice. yes any man that looks THAT good and wears prada is def. gay. sometimes it's a shame. but still easy on the eyes.

Nooooooooo, AC CAN'T be gay. NOOOOOOOOO! That would be a disservice to the female population in America. LOL! HE IS HOT! And from American royalty you know!

LOVE the table! Gorgeous as always. You have such the eye!
