New Shtuff

New pics of The Sophster, our garden, my new haircut, my latest knitting projects, and more. Here ya go...

We'll start with the haircut. Whaddaya think? I like it!

(Never mind the bird that appears to be sticking out of my head.)

At the Arboretum, holding Maddie's dog Sadie. (Maddie has been so generous with allowing Sophie and others to play with her puppy!)

A little addition to our garden bed: lighting!

My Latest Knitting Project: the Tree of Life Afghan

I've got 2 more "tree" section repeats and 1 more "flower bed" section repeat left to go. It's rather slow-going.

Another knitting project: fingerless mittens

This was to keep me from burning out on the afghan. They're part silk so they feel lovely to wear!

And, drumroll please.... My newest Etsy acquisition!

My good friend from Ireland, Yvonne ("bonzie"), made this beautiful bag just for ME! It's stunning, isn't it? I bet you're drooling, huh? Go get a tissue, you're embarrassing yourself.

Love ya bonz!
