ah..today.

i've been trying to figure out how to describe our wonderful day...
but it's quite late...and my ice cream is melting...
may i just say...it was a lovely...most delicious...water playing...skateboarding....steak eating...wine drinking...wool knitting, soon-to-be-summer kind of day.

progress

worsley and i are gearing up for our first slow design meeting...
i am officially pumped. {and officially a dork for just using the word: pumped}
remember yesterday's picture?
well here she is...felted and looking mighty fine...and mighty teeny.
and keeping in the mind of slow design...i have to add how much i adore the wool from our local sheep. when i knit with this yarn my dry hands are treated with a lovely lanolin rub. it's dee-vine.

frost


well...
it's cold again. which means going out-shide is a windy and eye-watering event.
the heat is back on and the familiar sound of the old furnace kicking in is surprisingly comforting. my hands are back in wool and needles...also very comforting.
don't get me wrong...i'm ready for warm days...but right now, i'm going to cozy up and read my book.
xo albert.

are you there blog? it's me albert.

"where have you been albert?" says you.

the truth is, i'm not sure.
busy eating ice cream with a two-year old...
busy digging worms with said two-year old...
and spending nearly every waking hour outside.
(or as hugh says "out-shide"...he sounds just like liza minnelli. i love it!)

the past month has been filled with such great happenings...
one in particular...is worsley and i are launching a slowdesign
group in our wee river town. more to come on that...
and another great happening is...tinK.vintage has finished
it's spring...ahem, i mean summer collection! the website
should be updated by the end of the week...right, dear?
lastly, i'm reading a very good book.
justine you will love this book too...and thanks for your
pep talk... it feels good to be back.
