trick or treat!

thanks for the beautiful halloween treats! boo!

though the weather is still pretty here in sunny california ( it is still in the eighties), i am itching to pull out my yarn and start crocheting some scarves. my first yarn choice is this beautiful rich red. i am attempting a new stitch (basket weave) that i have never done before...let's hope i can do this pretty yarn some justice.

echo lakes to lake aloha

she always brightens my day...

i was feeling a little down when i woke this morning until my frankie crawled up onto my chest and shoved her fuzzy little face in mine. she began to purr instantly. i scratched behind her ears until her purr was accompanied by happy little squeaks. i admired the way her black and white fur swirled in different directions in order to avoid her eyes, her mouth, her soft black nose. she has the most amazing markings. call me an obsessed cat owner (or does she own me?), but she always brightens my day.
