I can’t believe it’s been a month since I’ve posted! This is what I’ve been doing. Vacationing! We spent Christmas at the beach in L.A. this year. My dad lives 2 blocks from the beach and the weather was a nice change from the freezing Portland temperatures! This photo was taken …

I am on a roll. Christmas is almost here and my presents are almost all done! Well, except for the scarf I haven’t started yet because the yarn is taking forever to get here. My most recent finished project is a scarf for Margitha, my stepmom. This is the scarf that started out as gloves [...]
