I’ve been having a trip down memory lane while tackling the job of organizing photos that have been stashed away for years. For my fiberphile buddies, I just have to share this vintage 1949 picture of my mommy knitting a sweater for me (I would have been going on 3 at the time).
Yes, I know I am sort of giving away my age, but I think this picture is priceless and just goes to show you why I myself must have taken a later interest in knitting!

Did you see that Yarn Packs in Silken Kydd for the HeartStrings Bi-directional Lace Strips are a featured new promotion offered at elann.com this week? I love the way they’ve planned the soft color graduation across the strips of the stole. The stole was knitted by Lorrill Anderson. It is just stunning!
Bordering on land that is preserved for Louisiana wetlands, I often get to see native wildlife by just stepping outside my door.
Yesterday’s morning visitor was a water snake that had made it all the way to my driveway.
KJ Lodrigue (www.kjun.us) helped identify my buddy —
Has to be a broadbanded watersnake, but the white is HIGHLY unusual. Looks like what is called a “pied” morph. Awesome.
After taking the photos, I got ready for church. By the time I was ready to leave, the snake was gone from sight. No doubt the concrete was heating up and it was ready for cool dip in the canal behind my property.
I came across this saying earlier today on the MusicThoughts: inspiring quotes about music site. The saying seemed to be so appropriate to how I’ve been feeling.
