Jump In, The Water's Perfect

Out with the old ...

... and in with the new:

(This is the first picture taken with the new camera.)

Pretty Fruit

Last night I made smoothies with my boyfriend.  I couldn't resist borrowing his camera though:

Okay, there were also raspberries, strawberries, and banana in our smoothies.  Yummeh.

And I'm in a knitting slump, not made any better by forcing myself to knit.

Food Fail!

Apparently there's a huge difference between black bean sauce and paste.  Well, at least I now know what not to buy.  The sauce isn't that nice sweet stuff at the Vietnamese restaurants at which I'm always eating.

Now excuse me while I eat my plain sticky white rice.

Why This Weekend Feels Like Work

Yesterday (Saturday) we had band rehearsal from 9:30am to 5:00pm.  Two oratorio practices and one regular practice.

The oratorio is today.  We have yet another rehearsal at 1:00pm and the actual concert thing is this evening.

On Wednesday I've agreed to play in a competition with the concert band.

Then next Saturday is another mid-day rehearsal and then the concert that evening.

And that is why I actually took sick days this week to get rid of my cough.

Kool-Aid!

I was bored ... being snowed in makes me destructively constructive.  I'll probably wish I'd left the natural alpaca alone.

But I really like how that blue turned out.  That was a fluke.

And Here It Is

My latest finished object (believe me, those are a rare species these days coming from me):

I've called it "Blood Orange" because the colours remind me of the fruit.  (Obviously.  I haven't had my tea yet this morning.)

Pre-picture Post!

This one's mainly to remind me that I need to post pictures of my latest FO.  It's 198 Yards Of Heaven done in some miscellaneous yarn that looks suspiciously like Patons SWS.

This time I've remembered to take a picture of it before I block it (but I still forgot to get one while it was still dry).  Hopefully by tomorrow night it'll be fully dry and I can complete this post!
