Ornamental bird houses found at the Salem Art Fair and Festival. This is the largest juried art festival in Oregon and a fun outing for the family. Lots of theatre, music, food, and, of course, art for sale. The children’s art area is fantastic and Bush’s Pasture Park is gorgeous. Hub and I agreed that we need to come back with more time and more money. I want one of these houses for my garden!

Pumpkin is no longer…now we are Xena Warrior Princess!

..and then there was yarn…

I am the luckiest daughter-in-law in the world because my mother-in-law is a knitter and completely gets the whole stash enhancement thing. She gave me a late birthday present of a gift certificate to Northwest Wools and, well, we can’t have that sitting around now can we?

I have three projects on the needles and this Manos will be a “reward” for finishing those projects…oops, make that 4

- Rippley ( Indigo Ripples ~ I am knitting the ruffle)
- Reina ( halfway down the leg on sock #2)
- Kochoran Clapotis ( Grandma wants this, so I am motivated to finish before fall)
- Pi shawl (no I haven’t forgotten about my lovely Pi shawl..I am on the last section)

…back to work!
