christmas preview



25 days
and counting

nothing like a Christmas deadline (did I mention I won't be in town!!!) to motivate some fast learning.  this year I traded my crochet hooks for needles and so far I'm pretty pleased with the result.










I'm in love with yarn lately. If I had my way I would open a little yarn shop just for an excuse to order piles.

halloweenish festivitations!


 lu's wicked spooky pumpkin on the left, my impressionist totoro on the right

 halloween dinner party with witchy squid-ink black pasta and festive masks (such as the mustache on a stick)




 nothing like stake conference on halloween...especially with the frightening Keith B. McMullin of the Presiding Bishopric...

 The annual Charles regatta.  This year we took a spot on the Eliot bridge: the tight squeeze under the bridge and sharp turn of the Charles after the bridge resulted in a lot of near collisions and gave the coxswains something to yell about.
 October is also a great month for patriotic mini-golfing and leaf peeping (pics ala Beast)


 Finally, we were fortunate to have a very special house guest over Halloween and especially delighted to find tucked in her luggage some Halloween cheer of her own.




Happy Halloween!!
