A weblog about my life and designs.

It'll be Saturday til October, deer, clouds, mittens
Title thanks to hubby. I was telling him that it feels like Saturday every day. I can hardly keep track of what day it is. It's because he's home from the arm surgery.
New Finepix camera came in the other day and I've been getting used to the additional complexity it has over my old Olympus 2 mp. This one is 6.3 mp but also has lots of settings and can do movies with sound. So have to get used to IMovie, as well.
The fawn photos were taken with my old camera - new one hadn't come yet.


There's a female and 2 young ones around lately and they've been coming up close to the house, which the deer don't usually do. One of the fawns is very sprightly and jumps around going backwards. Alot of fun to watch. Don't know if this guy is the one, but mama is nearby under the hemlock and the sibling is behind the tree out of sight.
I'm working on mitten designs in Cascade 128 Chunky and Cascade 220 yarns. The brain can't concentrate on the baby blanket charts or pattern. Heck, it's having a hard time just keeping track of the mitten pattern. I keep ripping out. But, hopefully, help is coming - doc app't in a 11 days.
A quick storm blew through today - here's the pre-storm clouds, taken with the new camera - not even adjusted. I love clouds - they can be so dramatic.


Got mittens to knit, so, til later.
