Prom 2011


The month of May always brings us to the Prom and peonies. And the young ladies do look a bit like the pretty flowers in my house and garden. Jon did invite Ashley Anita Evans to be his date. We got to meet Ashley's mom and step-dad and siblings who live in Oxford, PA. They came casual to take some snap shots of the couple .... Dave and I are dressed to chaperone the prom as we have done since 1984.

It turned out to be a lovely evening.

The Tweedy Hat



The Tweedy Hat is one of my latest projects. It is a new feature in my shop. I should probably come up with some patterns that I can whip out that would be cost effective but I do love Fair Isle type knitting. This is a herringbone pattern .... I love it. I do hope to have some little sweaters and mitts to go with but my model is growing up so fast someone else in the family may need to have a baby soon!
