Snipets

It's been too long since I updated this blog. I feel sort of bad about it, mostly because I did truly enjoy posting and sharing. It's just been a very busy time for me and I wasn't even sure if anyone was reading any more.

I have decided, that at least for today, I am going to just post lots of photos with quick captions of what's been going on.

3 whole boxes of quality, sweater quantity yarn donated to me by a local knitter.

Filling the Horlock Galleries with new art. 

All of my babies! 

Blocking my Bad Oyster Shawl.

Hat that is out of yarn :( 

Hand dyed fiber by one of the LYS owners in my town.

Making progress on my spinning grab bag

3-foot tall paper mache tree. My new installation project. 

Weekly Inspirations:

Art: Check out this local artist I just discovered. I have seen better works by him than shown here, but  you get the idea.
Knitting:People just keep designing gorgeous, non-lace shawls. It's kind of addictive to just favorite them. I have over 200 in mine Ravelry list. 

Food: Have you ever tried making alfredo sauce and adding pesto to it? That's what my roommate Heidi did on Monday. It was super delicious and I highly recommend it. Especially if the 2 are homemade to begin with. 

Life: What can I say? So many things are happening here. But it's all good things. I'm just taking life one day at a time.

OHHHHHH AND if you're interested, I have instagram now! My name is Lisa_24_7. Follow me for art and knitting updates!

Going's On

I wanted to take a quick moment to share with you all a few things that have been happening around here on the non-knitting front.

I've been gardening this summer, mostly just Tomatoes and Peppers, but I have a parsley plant that my aunt started for me. I nibbled a bit but haven't really used it for anything really. Well, last week I went outside to water and found these guys!

Swallowtail caterpillars

Little babies (believe it or not, this is about the size the one in the first picture was when I discovered him)

All three just hang'n out. 

My new obsession has been to check on them pretty much all the time. Watching them munch away and grow bigger. I can only hope they decide to make their chrysalis on the plant as well. 

In other news, I've been doing a lot of food experiments for my lunches the last few weeks, and with a bit of a push from some friends decided to start up again on Lisa's Tiny Kitchen. I plan to share recipes, tips, ideas and ramblings, so you should definitely stop on by! Today's post: Citrus Roasted Chicken!
 

I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. I have to be heading off to work here soon, but it's a fun job so I'm not complaining. ;)
