Random Thoughts and Pictures

I'm really glad the elections are over. This site was one too many with signs. Did they really think we'd vote for the one with the most signs? Or the one with the biggest sign?I knitted a quick hat the other day. It's perfect for rainy days. I didn't even have to use my umbrella when it was sprinkling in SF yesterday. I had Will capture Alex on the perch behind me, and the leaves changing out front when he took this picture.
A close up of the hat, but you can't see detail. It's 6 rows knit, 6 rows purl, repeat. It's also good for bad hair days.

I was on a creative roll this week. I found this 1950s kitchen fabric at the local yarn/quilt store, and I bought plain dish towels at the dollar store and then I cut and sewed the fabric onto the towel. I remember now why I don't love sewing, but I remembered quite a few things from my junior high school sewing class, so that was good.What a beautiful sky.

It was chilly this weekend, but it's going to get worse tonight and tomorrow with 35 degree low temps. We bought this stove from a neighbor at their garage sale. It really heated up the room and the house, which was just what we wanted. And the neighbor helped Will deliver it. It's only two doors down, but this thing was HEAVY. They used a dolly and it was still a lot of work. This weekend was the first time we used it.


About the only way to keep this boy off my desk is to hold him down. That only works for a few minutes.
Happy Thanksgiving to all. There are so many things to be thankful for.
