Vintage Photo Friday

I recently got some photos from my Dad when I went up to the mountains to visit him for his 80th birthday. This shot is my grandfather and my grandmother, and the little baby is my dad. I love that flapper style my grandma is sporting. My grandma was a major influence on my life, she was always making things and I'm guessing she made both her dress and my dad's baby clothes in this picture. I used to love visiting her because she would always give me a "special" pillowcase - one that she had sewn and embroidered with flowers or birds. She was the most creative person I've ever met, and she has inspired me in my own creative endeavors since I was a baby.

Thanks Grandma!

Mr. Bonnet climbs a tree I love Mr. Bonnet. I love him because he is kind and generous and handsome and sweet. And because Mr. Bonnet has a sense of adventure! Here Mr. Bonnet is spending good vacation time climbing a tree. Why? Because it's there of course!

Sock Innovation - Cookie A. Last night I went to see my pal Cookie at Unwind yarn store in Burbank. She was signing her new book . If you haven't yet seen this book, it's a terrific book! She tells you how to design your own socks, and if you're not the designing type, she also includes some of her patented styling Cookie socks for you to knit. I love Cookie's socks, I think she's one of the most innovative sock designers out there. Here Cookie is making the Cookie face while she signs my copy of her book. Look at all the beautiful socks!...
