I really DID go to Italy

Inside the Bargello is a beautiful courtyard! Boboli Gardens
View of Ponte Vecchio from the Uffizi
Beautiful View of the Florence Countryside
Ponte Vecchio at Sunset from Piazza Michelangelo

In 15 days...

I leave for Italy for almost 2 weeks.
Holy S*** I'm going to Italy.
I can NOT even believe it.
I've been busy the past few months
knitting
knitting

did I mention I've been knitting.

And totally neglecting my little blog here, except to have a friend help change the colors around!!
Thanks friend (you know who you are!!! )

Forgive me, those of you who might still actually be waiting (yea right)
for me to make a new blog post
my creative talents have been used up elsewhere

... knitting.


OK, so I have to go start packing for my trip.

I'll try to remember to post pictures when I get back
or
something

after I'm done knitting.

Three random pictures!

Just wanted to share. I take all these pictures and never seem to get around to uploading them or sharing them. So i'm working on that. here are three random pictures from my life....

This is the scarf I made for my sister.

This is the soup that I made for dinner last week.

This is the spoiled rotten dog that lives here. (yes, thats me sleeping)

The perfect weekend ends with...

....A walk through White's Bogs
(this is where they grow cranberries)

The perfect weekend....

... starts with an unexpected phone call from a friend.
...continues with some cuddle time on the couch with a really stupid campy movie. (from dusk till dawn)
...fall into bed to read a book. Angels and Demons by Dan Brown
...get sleepy and turn out the lights. Snuggle deep and sleep.
...wake up when I want, no alarm.
...sitting here, blogging about it with my cup of coffee

So far, perfection.

Tell me about your perfect weekends!
