More Self-Portraits

Self-Portrait Tuesday

I took these in my office this afternoon.





They look very different from some of the first self-portrait Tuesday pictures I took, and might I just say the the afternoon light in my office is spectacular. These are untouched photos in terms of color.


Here's an update on what I'm knitting.

This is my almost-finished, organic cotton Francis sweater.









This is the very start of my Hemlock ring lap throw done in cotton as well (but not organic).





Hopefully I'll be able to update in a few days with a finished object and a larger Hemlock Ring.

Sorry about the lack of posts lately. I'm being consumed by my in-laws...I mean, my TIME is being consumed by my in-laws...

An early love of reading is a great thing!!







What's better than glue? Self-sticking foam!!

And, to end the day, an image of autumn.

Oh, the joys of glue!! Three-year-olds love it (but don't know how to use it). Whenever I have a down moment or things are getting a little out of hand, I pull out the glue. They don't care what they're gluing, as long as they get to use the marvelous sticky stuff. I hand it out with blank paper and confetti, I give it to the quietest people, we put it on construction paper, tissue paper, receipt paper, foam, fabric, not to mention our hands and tables. Glue, how I love thee, let me count the ways...

Sorry about the lack of a post yesterday. Between school, tutoring, and Blair's concert I wasn't home long enough to post one.
