Off I go.......

After a busy four days, I'm packed and pretty much ready to go. Spring in Australia will be coolish and rainy according to the forecast. Very pleasant here in Tucson. I'll be missing some good fall weather, but the sister get togethers are outstanding! I'm excited to also finally see Perth.

Tomorrow is the tour of the west coast before I finally depart from San Francisco. A little wine and a sleeping pill and hopefully I'll wake up a couple hours before we land. Just hope I'm not too spaced out and forget to put my knitting in my checked bag at customs. No needles on Qantas.

Off I go for I'm sure will be a very busy few weeks. Nonstop fun is always good.

Fall in the Northwoods

Back in Tucson after 12 quick and chilly days in the northwoods. Lost Lake was beautiful as ever, just didn't have much in the way of sunshine for pics of the wonderful fall color. Had an unplanned stop in Minneapolis on the way there.....so guess that means a trip to the Mall of American....I was good and actually didn't buy much of anything. I did pick up some nice yarns in Wisconsin, naturally.

Now I have four crazy days till I leave for Australia. Off and running.....

Surprise...it's not jewelry

Finally finished my Clothilde shawl. Love the silky yarn.

Running out of steam

I'll probably make a few more pieces, but I think I've done a pretty good job in such a short time.Time to pick up the knitting needles again.

Getting close.....

Well, managed to make quite a few pieces today. Still have a few good ideas left. We'll see what I come up with tomorrow.

Can't wait to clean up this room!

Starting to slow down a bit, but I still have some really good parts, pieces and stones left to use up. The fingers are hanging in there.

Day Four

Day four of the frenzy. Didn't accomplish much today as I'm waiting on parts and pieces to arrive in the mail. A huge Mexican lunch and a huge Mexican beer also had a factor in my production today. Sure makes you want to take a nap.
