I'm back! (but not back, back).
Thursday, October 13, 2011 at 5:34PM So, well, it seems that turning 40 brings quite a bit of celebrating along with it. I am not complaining--not at all. I'm extremely grateful for the many things I've experienced these past couple of weeks.
But that said, as I try to get back into my routine, I'm finding things to be a bit of a moving target around here. More than usual, that is. So if the blog has fallen through the cracks, at least it's in the company of many other things dear to my heart, such as a tidy home, meals from scratch, and manageable laundry piles (that last one is killing me).

I darted off to here with a fun group to celebrate another's 40th...
More pictures and stories of those memorable trips soon, promise. But today, it was my knitting guru's 40th birthday. Happy birthday Jenn!!! We celebrated over lunch with another knitting buddy (Hi Lynn!). And we plied each other with yarn and other knitterly goodies.
I made some simple stitch markers. They are nothing fancy and just from art supplies we had on hand. I need to find smaller beads for the next batch (they are a wee addictive to make). These markers do not fit larger sized needles...
I also whipped up a project bag with her logo. I was out of ribbon to use for the cinch ties so used cording from my stash. Does cording come in fun colors I wonder?
I also tucked in some Madelinetosh Vintage in Trodden. I've not knit with Vintage yet but it feels amazing in the skein...
Her sweet husband is whisking her away for the weekend to New York city to celebrate. She promises to report back on visiting Purl Soho and Tender Buttons. I completely forgot to ask whether she's hitting M & J Trimming. Can't wait to hear all about it. Have fun Jenn!
