The Little Adobe 2016 Part ii


Oh Pacific Grove.
This place is overwhelming in how it can touch you.
The beauty of the coastline.
The charming victorian homes, cottages, adobe houses.
You can walk and drive, and not see everything you want.

You have to keep coming back.

For mom and I it's like coming home. To a special place that is all our own.

We wandered around Carmel yesterday morning. We'll head over there again before we go so I can snap some more photos. We can't miss a sign of Carmel in Carmel right?

We took a stroll along the trail on the coastline last night...

Remember, I warned you a lot of these were coming.

I couldn't resist photographing this mans fantastic jacket. 











mom, watching me crab-walk my way down the rocks to get closer to the water... probably panicking just like she did when we were kids... 


I love this. Roots climbing down the side of the cliff and the tree is strong and beautiful. 

another point of beauty in PG. if a seed can find a crevice it will grow and it will thrive. it's the magic of the Penninsula. 

so many seagulls

The 'To-Do' list...

and by 'to-do' list I mean 'to-knit' list. I'm really really trying to get on track with this list and stay deeply focused. It has helped that I have successfully removed all yarn from the living room and into Mr. Brown's Yarn shop on the second floor. Except for the fact that I went in there the other day with a shopping bag and loaded up. Currently in the sidelines to be finished 1. Ledge Trail Vest 2. Twiggy for me 3. 70 Yard Mitt for my other hand Finished those bad boys last night! this is what happens when you use the 10s burst hands free option on your iphone and you're holding said phone with your chinny chin chin. On the List: 1. Twiggy for a Christmas gift 2. Iris the Gourmet Monster but since it's for a boy I'm calling it Orvil. 3. Great White Shart Shark 4. Bosco - for me 5. Stillhouse Vest - for me 6. Woodsy - for me 7. Three Seahawk themed hats as gifts. 8. Gifts for friends... and on and on and on If you...

Finished Object

I'm not good at keeping surprises a secret...I get so excited that I usually blow it. Well not this time... I knit this sweater for Bump and had the buttons custom madefor it by Buttons by Robin, a wonderful shop on Etsy... She used a photo of Rupert that I emailed her...Rupert is their (Bump, C & M's) family dog... I couldn't post a photo until they had received the sweater which arrived on their doorstep last night... Oh how I wish I could have been there when they got it! It turned out amazing! Pattern: Baby Sophisticate Yarn: Big tweedy Cashmere (lucky boy) Please check out Robin's shop on Etsy I know you'll find buttons you love and she does amazing work!

W.I.P

Bears Barn Owl. We had a hockey game last night and while I'm normally so wrapped up in the game that I don't have time to knit, that was not the case last night. Silvertips have had a rough go and the Red Deer Rebels really wolloped them last night. So I knit. I ate some dingleberries. Delicious. and I knit some more. I have a feeling I'll be finishing this bad boy up by tomorrow and he'll be the star of the retreat. Isn't his color wonderful?
