six friends meet for a camping trip

yesterday's adventure

we took a trip to bainbridge island! Pretty safe to say that I love making the trip over there.

i always think the cranes look like brontosauruses.

our friend ty likes to take pictures even more than i do.

jason made everyone in the bookstore laugh when his cell phone rang, really loudly, in the middle of the quiet store.

(really? it would be wrong to go without visiting the awesome yarn shop.)

so fun to see these girls last week!

Ellen's Malabrigo Cashmere Lace

The Last 5 Years

Rachel & I went to see this last weekend, thanks to a free ticket promotion for Seattle's Live Theatre Week. I've been listening to the soundtrack of The Last 5 Years for about... the last 4 years. :) I was thrilled to finally see it as a live show!

Nebraska-trip

I won this banana playing pitch with Mom, Grandpa, and Grandma. 'Nuff said.

These lovely girls came to hang out in Lincoln.

Hi, Mom! (I liked your new house!)
Went irrigating with Dad (these are soybeans). Also saw Dad & Connie's awesome new house and had Johnbengetty!

Inspired

Through the wonders of Ravelry, I saw that my friend Pan just finished up a garterlac dishcloth. It inspired me to finish one I'd started back in March!
