My poor blog has been neglected for far too long...again.

Tonight or on this very early morning, I'm popping in to wish everyone a great holiday season. 3 more days and 20 hours (as of this moment) till the big day. Nothing extravagant planned in these parts...just another day with a lot of baking. 

This year I decided to create my own Christmas cards to share the joy during this festive season. BUT, I waited, no, I procrastinated and ran out of time. I had grand plans for my cards...Sewing cut-outs, gluing on buttons, ribbons, and scrap booking paper strips - so much for thinking big.

Oh well, I'll always have next year.

Fortunately, my MS works has a greeting card program and was my saving grace.  

A few people who read my blog will receive one of my two designs. I really hope the bright colors bring a little bit of cheer and joy to your holiday season.* 

 

God Bless

Holiday Cheer Socks

Nothing like a little color to bring on some holiday cheer.

It's a Mr. Sketch kind of day. :-) 

 

  

Happy Tuesday.

Wordless Wednesday

Guided by the Light of the Moon

My neighborhood experienced a power outage on the last day of August. 

People came out of their houses...still muggy out.

Even the crazy lady from across street came out with flashlight in hand.

She didn't say a word to anyone...

it's okay...

we mustn't tease the lion.

I can feel Autumn approaching.

Monthly Post

Yup, it's been a month and one week I've posted on this little blog of mine.
I tell ya, I'm losing the blogging mojo and seriously considering deleting my account but, will ponder it a little while longer.
Here are a few random pictures I thought I would share.

Downtown San Diego in the early evening. Beautiful. Taken 3 weeks ago. The days are getting shorter and we're that much closer to Christmas.

Went into Nordstrom with a friend that same evening. She was shopping around for a Burberry purse and I went along for moral support. You know, cuz that's what friends do. We got the best customer service from this young man named Joseph. Sharply dressed with cool socks to boot. I'm proud to say he is an FIDM student.

Stocked up on my Fall magazines this year. I stopped buying magazines a long time ago. Occasionally, I'll bring home one or two mags if I see something or someone featured inside that has caught my attention.
I spotted this great sweater in Teen Vogue's fall issue (please don't judge) and had to get it as a reference (of course) to my ever-growing list of knitted sweater projects.

Last but not least, Sharpies!!! How can you not love Sharpie markers?! I have a ton and it's okay. That's what I keep telling myself. You can never have too many markers. I keep telling myself that too. I'm ready for school.
Oh, and I picked up the Vogue's September issue. Loved the movie, love the mag.

I haven't knit anything lately. The muggy weather is killing me and the last thing I want to do is knit, plus, it makes the yarn difficult to handle, unless I sit in front of the fan all day. So, instead I sew.
Thankfully, the sporadic cool evenings put me in the holiday spirit. Time for hot apple cider and potato cheese soup. Nothing like comfort food to make life feel like a pair of warm comfy slippers.
