Merry Christmas from Brooklyn!

Happiness is...snow!

The city is blanketed in a white fog right now, and huge snow clusters are falling in front of my view of the Empire State Building. *sigh*

Gimme 2008, part II

I recently watched the documentary Can't Be Satisfied, and now I MUST learn to play blues guitar. Forget that I once had lessons and felt indignant about the whole thing. This time it's for reals. Especially if someone buys me a vintage 1972 daphne blue Fender Telecaster thinline.


I guess I could also settle for a 1968 pink paisley Tele....

Holiday '08 Wishlist: continued...

Stay at home vacation

I'm off for a week to knit, clean, cook, eat, relax, and most importantly, be with family. I started things off right by baking some white chocolate and cranberry cookies from this recipe and enjoying them along with many knock-out dishes and hot, seasonal libations, at a friend's house in New Jersey.



The rest of the weekend consisted of knitting for my etsy shop, and for Cinder. Here he is modeling his new winter sweater:


Isn't he a natural? Something else very exciting is taking place today, but I'll save that for a later post...!
