PBF, progress and pictures

Just a wacky shot for today.... (I gotta get back in the booth, this was the end of the reserves)
for an absolutely wonderful set go visit JesC on Flickr and of course, our fearless leader, Andrea. And if she is up for it today LeSophie (even if she doesn't rock the booth today, she has a kickin' blog)

And just because this was a knitting blog at one time, I thought I should update you on the progress of a few things.
Here is the finished Tomato Hat that I made for my cousin's new baby that is due this month some time.

How F-ing cute is this? I am going to make a few more for all the babies that are due this summer/fall. Way too cute. (Ann Norling Fruit hat pattern, Debbie Bliss baby cashmerino and another DB yarn I can't remember right now)
Edited to add- I guess I made blog lines news! , thanks to Sarah for brining this to my attention, purdy cool, huh?

And here is the progress on the baby sweater. I am hoping to have it done and in the mail before I leave for Alaska (WHAT?! ALASKA? What is that all about??? More later)
I would be further along, but realized that my original start was WAY off gauge so I frogged it and started over, on the right size needles- I am loving it. Been sneaking in time each morning to do a few rows while I sip my chai tea...



again, Debbie Bliss Cashmerino - pattern from the Last Minute Knitted gifts

and some pictures of the new house-

The entry/stairs to the bedrooms/loft take from the living/dining room (that is COVERED in purple and grey sponge paint- holy crap)

My new fabu and overly HUGE kitchen, look there is an island in there! I need an umbrella in my drink quick.

The cratins, like little book ends are enjoying the windowsills and the new view out front (see that tree? It is a Japanese maple, it is huge- and I know it will be awesome come this fall.)

most importantly, the keys- the previous owner gave us the keys on this key chain- there is globe on their people- it is meant to be (hubby and I are both geographers, our *worlds* are all about the world)

Have a great weekend- I have a 60th birthday/retirement party to pull off as well as teach yoga and hopefully relax.
wish me good weather and good bbq skillz...
