Sock Summit 2011 - stitch marker swap




These are the stitch markers I made for the SS11 stitch marker swap :)  Two different styles, because I ran out of the larger green beads.  Hope they look turtley enough :)

Lavender Festival 2011

A few moments from the 2011 lavender festival in Yamhill.

We visited 4 farms - Wild Rain Farm, Willakenzie Lavender, Red Ridge Farms and Mountainside Lavender Farm. And we also spent most of the morning at the Yamhill Festival shopping at the Plein Air Artisan market.

My goodies:

Olive oil and Passion fruit vinegar from Red Ridge Farms

Late Harvest Riesling from Sokol Blosser winery

Lavender Honey (can be found at all the farms)

Lavender bunches and a dram of lavender essential oil from Mountainside Lavender Farm

I bought the Blue collage art and turtle print from Magda Moor

I bought another sea turtle print and a mini sunflower oil painting by Megan Turner-Baxter (Art By MTB on Etsy).  Not pictured because she had to send them to me.

Day 16: Long Exposure

I used my Canon DSLR to take this picture (4 second exposure).  I cheated a little and reversed the image so that my "r" was not backwards.

How can there be a sunset when it rained and the skies are grey?  With fiber of course.  Lovely wensleydale and mohair locks to the rescue!

Tea Time

IMG_3213.jpg

Hazel is having fun playing with the teapot that she got for Christmas.  I taught her how to pour a cup of tea and how to "eat" the little treats that came with the set.  She doesn't quite have the "pinkie out" while drinking down yet, but we're working on it!

I also got a tea set!  Except mine doesn't talk, or come with a teapot.  It was at Starbucks and discounted (yay), and I've been eyeing it since November.  I bought some Jasmine tea pearls, because that is my favorite.  And every afternoon I've enjoyed some tea while I knit or crochet, it's perfect!  I'm loving the little red one the most.
