A meme that looked good at the time...

More rain...

More dying, this time some kid mohair. It really looks like the sky above our little house right now.

Since it is raining and I feel somewhat reflective, here is a little q and a.

8. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS? Yes.

9. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP? Uhh no.

10. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL? Thick creamy yogurt with "bare naked" brand ganola on top.

19. WHAT COLOR PANTS, SHIRT AND SHOES ARE YOU WEARING? Olive green yoga pants, handknit socks and a chocolate colored shirt. I guess I was filling earthy today.

20. LAST THING YOU ATE? Uh, yeah the vanilla mix (see ques. 13) of course.

21. WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW? More rain dripping from the roof as we have yet to purchase gutters for this little house. But rain is a welcome sound in Texas. The lack of it can be a disaster.

Yumm, that mohair also looks like cotton candy! Enjoy your rain (and by the way, "burnt sienna" was always my favorite crayon name).

[Nancy]

oooh! i loved the alabaster yesterday, and that kid mohair is beautiful too...

i'm envious of your 20/20 vision, i'm blind as a bat :)

[Lorna]

we travelled through Fort Worth the last time I was in the States - how exciting..I love your photo of the trees.

[theflyingmum]

I too, am a red-head (OK, now getting quite gray-ish...) I LOVE the smell of lavender, and my favorite is Earl Grey with honey and cream (or, lately, goat milk, as I am succumbing to inherited lactose intolerance...) And I'm with ya on the carrot cake too!

[knittingphilistine]

Good to know that your favorite smell is lavender, as the soap/yarn trade is coming up. ;)

And love those Erika Knight socks... definitely want to make those too!

[Enthusia]

oh...i am so stuck on the homemade cream cheese frosting part--cannot read further. must go bake.

[Amy]

you guys are great!

hello fellow redhead who like earl grey tea and honey as well!
