The house is decorated!

Well it's that time of year again and I left my shopping to the last minute...I am venturing out tomorrow with my pals Punkin and Becca to tackle Harvard Square and a few more diversions. I am scaling way back this year...just fun little things. We have so much and when we need something we generally just go and buy it so I was thinking...hummm... does anyone need a Jesus nightlight? Toilet paper roll cover to put on the back of the commode (sp?)? Something a little more domestic like an apron? Or perhaps a baked good, nah! Like I have time for that, urgh! There are only four more days left! As for consumption, just eat a lot of cookies and forget trying to find the perfect holiday jumper!

I made the ginger bread house with guidance from my pal Mary Clare, she is the most naturally craftiest person I know...she inspires everyone she meets, ty MC!

Bunker Hill...day 4 of filming...

A new TNT TV pilot called "Bunker Hill" is being filmed in Boston. My neighborhood has been inundated with film crews and trucks for a few days now, actually 4 days...They haven't been to intrusive and they have been leaving the area cleaner than it was. I can't wait till it airs...One thing I did read was they wanted to film in Boston for the whole series...Donnie Wahlberg acting and producing as well as Brian Dennehy and Bridget Moynahan.

Craftland in Providence

This is my hometown...and boy has it come a long way...



Went to visit CRAFTLAND! Local and not so local artists sell handmade articles. They have something for everyone...t-shirts, bags, baby stuff and greeting card...too many to mention...they have also made things from recycled materials...it is worth a trip. There are also many new boutiques and gift shops downtown...

Vacation outing!

My friend Becca and I took a trek out to Historic Salem Mass....
We visited a fellow knitter we met on our Rhinebeck trip. She works at a shop called the Seed Stitch Fine Yarn, and that it is!!!

Coming off Rhinebeck made it less tempting to buy MORE yarn but I did manage to pick up a skein of Blue Sky alpaca...it's a heather icy blue and sooo soft...
I am thinking of some fingerless mitts for Bert...

..and some Brittney cable needles...

It is a beautiful space with a wide range of, you guessed it, YARN...they have yarn for everyone and budget! They also carry little gift things too! Becca picked up a cute pair of scissors that look like a bunny and stand up...The ears are the blades and they put feet on the finger holes so they can stand on a surface...

Happy Veterans Day
