A little of this and a little of that (big ass picture post ahead)
♥ Comments (15) ♥
Mostly WET and SOGGY. The weather has been a little nuts around here. Some really scarey storms came thru last week and the county had been declared a disaster area. Uprooted trees were everywhere. It has just continued to rain and rain and rain here. I’ve been up to a lot of stuff as usual around these parts. Let me show you.
First I want to thank Hannah & Joff. They don’t have a blog, but she lives in the UK and she knits up a storm. Her and I did a english tea swap on our own a while back. She up and sends me another gift.
I forgot the sushi bandaids in this picture! Yarn! A notebook! Oolong Tea! a cd of Joffs band!
can you see my favorite part of this package? Joff (her fabulous boyfriend who used to live in chiago) drew me my VERY OWN LUCY DOG on this notebook!!!!! SQUEEEE!
thank you hannah and joff! This whole little package was so very sweet of you. And i just love the time you took Joff to draw a Basset hound even though i know they are shaped like barrels and aren’t easy to draw. THANK YOU!
Next, we rode our bikes on saturday IN THE RAIN
5 miles down the lakeshore to the bend in the lake just before the oak street beach
to watch some of the Chicago Air and Water show...now what is this you say?
my camera didn’t want to focus on it, no wonder they say it disappears on radar! It’s the oddly square or bat-signalesque Stealth Bomber. This thing was impressive as it flew toward you it was so flat my camera wouldn’t focus. neato
then we caught the Thunderbirds, who this year had not one but TWO WOMEN PILOTS. go girls.
they were so fast by the time i’d see them they were gone and hard to shoot
So this week i’m busting a sewing groove for Renegade Craft Fair see
We also made this for our neighbor who just got back from Memphis for the 30th anniversary of the king’s death
I hope she’ll like it!
And last but not least more things that fly…
I’ve been stalking three of these little guys
they make me tired just watching them eat
Edited: to add one more picture of the little guys

I remember seeing a Steath bomber a while back - a bit creepy how fast it went by!
Hummingbirds are amazing - how their body can beat their wings that fast is just amazing!!!!

Lucky you! I’ve always wanted to see the Thunderbirds! The Stealth looks pretty cool, too. Looks like it was worth a bike ride in the rain.
The bags look great. Good luck at the craft fair!

1. That little Lucy notebook is too much. No wonder you let out a squee!!
2. This weather is nuts! We got like 6 inches of rain, but not all the wind and craziness it sounds like you guys got.
3. Air & water show = awesome!
4. You neighbor will totally love that pouch!
5. Hummingbirds are so cool!
Ok, I’m done now : )

I have seen the stealth bomber and fighter (smaller, more triangle shape) before. I have never seen the Thunderbirds. Being a Navy wife, I have seen the Blue Angles several times.
Cool swap package. My sock partner hasn’t said a word about her socks yet. I wonder if she hates them? She got tons of Piddleloop goodies too.
You know I dig the Elvis bag.

Even though they might have been hard to shoot, that’s an awesome photo (esp. the first one) of the Thunderbirds! Very cool.

wow I love where you live it looks amazing, its so different from here, hope the weather calms, ours is total pants too! The fyberspates yarn is lovely to use by the way ;)
that stealth is amazing, we have jets go by daily here, we are about 50miles from an airbase so this is kind of their practice ground, they are great to watch! We have seen some of those helicopters too, the big ones, and HUGE planes thatgo so slow they seem to defy gravity!
All the bags look great
