Owl's Away

Well Tyto took off on his flight to Heavener, Oklahoma today to deliver a package to Rowan Dragonsinger. I so hope she likes everything I included. I can't wait till it arrives.

Of course this means that the term is slowly coming to an end. I always hate end of term. It's so quiet on the boards when the term is over and I have being on Holiday. Well, off to knit some more.

Where is Winnie?

Well Winnie is traveling to some interesting places this week. Some fine examples of modern and ancient architecture. First she traveled to Dubai and visited a library shaped like a book. Now that would be something neat to see. After that she went to Giza, Egypt to visit the pyramids. To me the photo she posted reminded me of the movie "the Mummy" with Brendan Frasier. I wonder where she if off to now.

Where is Winnie?

Well our Miss Wartbobble continues on her travels this week. She went to three different places, unfortunately I can only guess at two of them. The third location has way too many posibilities. So here is what she reports......

1) her first location was to a capital city built on a lake that has dissappeared to celelbrate "Dia de los Muertos" Well.........she is of course at Texcoco, Mexico. Modern day Texcoco, Mexico is where the original Aztec Capital Tenochitlan was built. It was built on the Lake Texcoco in the Central Mexican Plateau of Mesoamerica. Modern day Texcoco is the east of the current National Capital, Mexico City.

2) her second location is a Windy City where kites are built and flown and the home of a pink library. Well there are many windy cities, chicago for one, but Seattle, WA has a pink marble library, so I am going to guess Seattle, WA.

3) her third location is a Northern Coastal City that hosts an annual multicultural carnival. Oh my, could she possibly be in Brazil?

Well those are my guesses and I am sticking to them.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Well this weekend is Halloween AND Daylight Savings Time, which means and extra hour of sleep on Sunday, Yeah! I love this time of year. The weather is getting cooler and fireplaces are burning and we will be camping at the beach in the next few weeks.

I made my godson a Halloween Hat this week. I don't think he'll wear if for very long but that's okay it was fun making it any way.

My kit for Dragonsinger is coming along nicely. I received her patterns in the mail and now........to shop for yarn. The handmade portion is coming along nicely. I hope to get it out early, but no too early.

Wow, what a week!

Well, it has been quite a week. My son turned 15 years old on Thursday. Next year we'll be dealing with driving lessons, etc...... We had a Birthday Party for him last night and I had told him he could invite a few friends from school. Well, at one point, we had 24 teenage kids in the back yard. But, he had a great time. Ed made a fire in our portable fire pit and the kids sat around and had a good old time.

On the knitting front, Round 2 of Shuntbumping is today but I will only have a year to work on my project and then I'm taking a class at Knit Affair. I am making a Frankenstein hat for Anthony.

As for Rowan, my spoilee, I finally found the patterns I want to send her. I had some troubles, but I noticed a particular company in her blogs and profile. So I perused their on-line catalog and found the perfect pattern. Now for it to arrive so I can order yarn. I started my part of the project and it is coming along nicely. I hope she likes it!
