We had everyone over for dinner yesterday--so great! But, it was a joy to snuggle up on the couch today and do nothing after juggling turkey, potatoes and side dishes. I have watched James Bond movies, one right after another, and worked on the Alan Dart gingerbread house that is part of the pattern that came with the gnomes from the last post.

Gnomes are Done!!
Here they are!! Yeah!!For the last week or so both gnomes have been done except for the faces. I always find faces so hard to do. I had black-headed pins poked into the heads to show where I wanted to put the eyes, but I hesitated. Maybe beads would look good for eyes? I just couldn't decide...but finally I grabbed my needle-felting needles and made little wool eyes for each gnome.
The yarn I used was the palette yarn from KnitPicks (fingering weight). The facial yarn color wasn't perfect, a little dark or something but it works OK, I think.Tuesday, October 20, 2009

Amish Hills



We took a trip this weekend to see more fall colors. This is Holmes County, Ohio where many Amish families have lived for a long time. Their well-kept farms are beautiful with the autumn colors in the background. We saw lots of groups of Amish walking on the roadside, on bicycles and in horse-drawn buggies. I kept myself to descreet peeking, though I longed to stare, especially at the children. Taking pictures was more fun than usual because there aren't as many telephone poles. Telephone poles and wires have become a real visual menace--hate 'em. (tho I like my electric lights--thank you very much) :-) Monday, October 12, 2009
