Trying for bokeh

Sandra posted a challenge today to work on bokeh, and the Digital Photography School challenge for the weekend was "dessert." I combined the two challenges in this photo of our York peppermint patties with Christmas light bokeh in the background. 
 

 

Scarves are ready!

My two scarves for the Special Olympics are ready! I'll be mailing them off tomorrow. Yay! It turned out that Alaska had met their goal by the time I was ready to send them, so mine will be going to Virginia. I hope the recipients love them! This photo of the second scarf was taken specifically to apply to the Daily Shoot assignment of "horizontal lines."

It's been such a busy week!

This week has flown by, and I'm not even sure what I got done. I worked a lot, spent a lot of time with kids, went here and there...and suddenly it's Friday night. I did manage to finish the first Special Olympics scarf and start a second...
 

This afternoon Mom and I Skyped with my brother.

(Please ignore the messy desk.)

I guess things really did get done this week...but I'm not sure how we got to another weekend so quickly! 

Quick post for this busy day

It was a crazy busy day for me, so I’m just going to post a few shots quickly, and then I’m going to go to sleep!

I finished the first Special Olympics scarf last night! Yay!

Our weather today was…well…fickle. It went from raining to snaining to snowing to overcast to snowing to raining…last I checked it was snowing again. If you like a variety of wet, we’ve had it today! I liked the raindrop suspended in this shot with the bokeh snowflakes – it really describes the weather we had.

There’s no doubt about what the weather was doing in this one! We had some times when the snow was falling in fat, fluffy, puffs of flakes. It was quite pretty, actually.

Cool stuff...

I have a new knitting project...I'm excited about this!
 
I am going to make a few scarves for the Special Olympics - www.scarvesforspecialolympics.org/
This is the start of my first one.

I also want to share my wonderful new knitting bag!

I got it from Thirty-One. 

Now I'm off to work on my first scarf a bit more. I'd like to be working on my second one by the weekend. Whew!
