Saint Cupcakes carrot cake cupcake was still good two days after purchase. Cake moist and frosting yummy. I mentioned that there was a wedding reception attended and a missed wedding last Saturday? The photographer was given a surprise gift from Jessy the bride, a gift pack from Saint Cupcake. You can read her blog post here and see one of her photos there of the bride and groom. If you're a Saint Cupcake fan on Facebook you might have seen it posted there also.
On a health note, I apparently dodge exposure to the Noro Virus - no not from yarn fumes! ;-) Judy apparently was exposed to it by a member of her traveling group and was violently dealing with it on Thursday. She called to check to see if my car ride with her was enough exposure, thankfully not! I just have a head cold that is going to keep me from fun things this Saturday - no spinning with Shelia at the Newberg Library this morning or going to the 90th Birthday celebration of Brandon's grandfather. I was running a fever again last night so need to stay away from elderly people. So much rather suffer from a stuffy head and an earache than the vomiting and diarrhea!
I've been working on the Annabella's Cowl with the yummy Artyarns Ensemble. Since it had a section of just plain stockinette and now a 4x4 ribbing, not something that can get messed up too easily. I just have a few more inches to go before its finished.
I live in the Great Pacific Northwest where I read lots of books, you can check them out in my Shelfari bookshelf to the right. I currently knit and spin and have become more active in the SCA so more sewing! I also do quilt and bead-work and have learned how to Norse wire weave. I do have past experience with crochet and ceramics, but don't do a lot of it now. I may also be lured into weaving in the near future, so life is fun and interesting! Come share my adventures!

Things Finished This Week
I had thought that a tam might work for me as a hat to wear during the Seattle to Portland Yarn Crawl. So I pulled out some pretty yellow yarn and knit up the Sunflower Tam:
Up next is to finish Gail's socks and a little project for Knit-Purl:
Brandon though says it doesn't work for me. So it goes into the pile of stuff for gifts this year. Either a birthday or all the way until Christmas. I'll still be trying out other hats and hopefully will find one that works!
I finished up William's Twisted Beer Glove Envy. They took the fit of the Mitt Envy with their thumb gusset and 12 stitch cable area and used the cable from the Son of Stitch n' Bitch's Beer Gloves along with the numbers for the individual fingers and frankenmittened them. William isn't used to the shortie fingers and thus not too sure about them but I think he'll soon like them once he's using them on a regular basis.
