September

That would be September, not in chronological order...

 A package arrived in the mail. Some of the boys' "old" wooden toys a friend in Germany had been storing for me. Sweet, sweet memories!

 I made the bear in second grade! That makes it almost thirty years old! The doll on the right was Noah's first doll when he was wee. The other doll I bought a couple of years ago for no particular reason. It will now be Nuriel's when she is old enough for it.

Nuriel had a birthday. She's one now. The owl bunting was made by a dear friend. So sweet. Some of you have heard of my picture dilemma on the birthday. It was a crazy day. I learned that having to prepare a birthday celebration that's taking place two hours after work while still needing to chauffeur kids back & forth after school makes it impossible to fit in a trip to buy camera batteries. It was a very sweet lil' celebration, though. Good memories, which is the most important part!

The nature table is looking more like spring, but we like it that way. The Koru maiden was made by Marie over at Softearthart. It will become more autumny soon!

Nathan had a birthday, too. He's thirteen now. I'm officially Mom to two teenagers. 

Nathan used some leftover bass wood to cut out some owls. He's planning on woodburning details.

 Enjoying the last days of summer...

Sweet Lil' Somethin'

Knitsch. Heart of Glass.

I'm very happy with my Summer 2011 Knitting. I used a lot of stashed yarn. Nathan's hat is finished and provided some earache comfort already. Seven shawls are waiting to be blocked with two more very close to being finished... I currently have Rasmilla's Elvira on the needles. One more day, then back to school!

The storm. Yikes. It was a scary thing for me. I was at home by myself with Nuriel. Thank goodness the trees in the neighbor's yard decided to stand a bit longer. We spent two days without power. Lucky us! Some are still waiting a week and a day later...
