My latest obsessions

So.....I thought a good way to start off would be to show a couple of things I've been interested in lately. I don't have my camera with me so no pics of what's on my needles right now yet. But here are a couple of my latest obsessions:

1. this picture...cracks me up! I have a friend with one of these little dogs and they have entered her in races...she didn't win but she looks just like these! Go Margo Go!!


2. twinkle yarn - i just bought my first skeins of twinkle yarn and can't wait to try the Balthazar Vest found in the Twinkle's Big City Knits. Have read from other blogs that the sizing is funny and I'm not sure I can understand the patterns..but we'll see. I may be posting a mess of a vest on here later. Too bad our local yarn store closed and I have no one to help me...except maybe some helpful blog readers!! Here's the color I got...it was my third choice after the others were backordered for forever. But I like it and it reminds me of cotton candy.


3. The chandelier we're getting for our new house...yay!! It's an antique that my uncle is giving us for a housewarming..1800s french antique. My husband...we'll call him "Tweedy" in honor of his love for Wilco (who we're seeing in concert on Monday!! whoohoo)loved it for how "rustic" it looks:


4. Our new house!! Pics to come

5. Strawberries that Tweedy is growing in his garden...the reddest and sweetest ever.

6. Not work.

7. but many more...that's enough for now.
