Here’s the last and final prize for drawing winners. Kathy wanted a needle roll and said she liked red and here’s the result. The smallest roll is for sock needles and shows the outside color. The middle one is for longer DPNs and the largest roll is for straights. Hope these meet with approval Kathy!

Yesterday morning I went to a crop and worked on my albums. I love the pumpkin pictures but obviously still need to do some journalling on these pages. I also bought albums for the pictures we’ll be taking in a few weeks on our Colorado trip.


We’ve had our first harvest of Lincoln peas. I can’t wait to eat those! I also found some gorgeous local strawberries at the market yesterday and turned some of them into a salsa to go with my salmon and brown rice, yum!

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
1/2  sweet onion, thinly sliced and sauteed until soft
