hm, nevermind the later:
my sister claudin is here visiting for a week and we’ve already packed more into the last four days than i usually do in two weeks. of course, no work makes that easy – as do lovely events like the “fabulous fiber fest” (must be said with giant exclamation marks in your voice, it’s so very fun to do) where we ran into julia (who posted a cute pic of claudi and me, and one of me spinning) and marnie, which is always great. i didn’t go crazy but got some lovely fiber (pygora and a grafton batt of merino, plus some exotic fiber from a friend) – and notice the lovely glitter mascara? i like some fun makeup now and then, and glitter always receives a happy ‘yay!’on sunday caroline, claudi and me went to the hollywood farmer’s market for their annual heirloom tomato festival. claudi, ever the professional/fanatical runner, ran in griffith park later that day while i took shots of the food haul, yum.
more happened since (today was our beverly hills day, with a nice celebrity sighting, etc, tomorrow is all santa monica with hopefully some bike rentals), and claudi has fotos too – plus a trip to the bay area is planned for thurs and friday, and so on and so forth. yay.
happy late august everyone~ ~

Hmmm, yummy… both fiber and food. :)
OK. So what is the goat fiber with peppermint oil? (Inquiring minds are dieing to know)
The food looks so yummy. Good lute as well.
I must say the picture Julia posted of you and your sister is so sweet. Looks like you two were having a blast!
Ooh, heirloom tomatoes.
It was great seeing you. So glad I got another chance before the grand trip up to Portland. Let me know if you enjoy spinnning the pygora.

I read this post this morning and got totally sidetracked when I went to Caroline’s site – she is so talented. Anyhoo, I love your pictures and am totally jealous of the heirloom tomatoes – yum! You and claudi are like marni and I – go go go! It’s fun, isn’t it?

Looks like a fantastic four days!
