this image of silke stoddard's knitting is burned into my mind and tatooed on my heart.

she never looks like a senator from krypton on the red carpet.

soft and long lacy scarf light enough for spring, extra long for winter wrapping, elegant enough for church, cute enough for a tshirt...i really love this scarf pattern (gee can you tell?).

time for a new spring look...

i love her style.

i love that she's an expert knitter and yet chooses to create very simple pieces;

have a happy st. patrick's day.

and i love it (thanks, coco).

i am craving some sunshine.

i am going to turn on some good music and choose to be happy.

may the light always find you on a dreary day.

really really happy.

like this one, from sweet mary, that she left on the clean room post: "Your house seems so organized.

3. i think that packages stacked all over the house are a nice decorative touch (and they remind me how good people are to donate to project 31) happy things!

there's a tiny restaurant

my homekeeping secrets

simple is always prettiest to me.

my happy plans for this evening include knitting and watching two favorite movies: far and away followed by tristan and isolde

i always enjoy knitting lacy stuff but this pattern was especially fun, super easy, and portable.

and totally not what you are supposed to be eating
