October 2009


I’ve finished some knitting projects recently. Here is Salina, which I finished just before France but decided not to take it.

I love it. It’s thin, and yet very warm. I’ve blocked the cuffs and like it much better now.

I also made this little sundress for Lila. Bad light in this picture, but it’s a mint green.

Here’s the adorable little model! I made the one year old size, and she’s 4 months. Room to grow!

Finally here is a lace scarf I made for Dee’s birthday…on the blocking mats.

I’ve got 6 more projects on the needles (or about to be cast on). Fall is so great for knitting!

Mummy came to visit this weekend, arriving Friday night and leaving Monday night. Unfortunately it was cold and rainy for most of her trip, but I guess at least it was a change from the Phoenix sun!

We took her out to dinner at Bellissimo on Friday night, our favorite Italian place in Fairfax.

And we relaxed with some wine.

On Saturday we drove down to Richmond, which is the halfway point between us and Virginia Beach, where our cousins live. Christopher and Dee met up with us at Can Can for a nice French lunch. Archie even came up to say hi.

It was a nice little reunion.

The rain had stopped by Sunday. We went to brunch at Red Fox Inn in Middleburg, and then went wine tasting at Three Fox Winery.

We came home with a bottle of their chardonnay, which Aaron loves (me too).

Misty was very happy to have Mummy in town.

I almost slipped her into Mummy’s carry-on before she left.

On Monday we took Illy for a short hike where she found lots of squirrels to chase.

We did some shopping and that was it! A nice relaxing weekend.
