Natural Saturday

Any day at the Museum of Natural History in SB is a good day! Today was one of those days. George & I (with the boys, Sadie was at a bday party) met Tracy and had a nice meander around the museum. From May – September they have a Butterflies Alive exhibit. Here in Santa Barbara we have one of the largest Monarch butterfly migrations in the world. Hence, a fantastic exhibit! There were some of the most amazing butterflies & moths, not just monarchs. I suggest if you live in the area or will be visiting to go check it out before September 11th, that is when it closes for this year. If not this year then plan to go see it next year for sure! It is so pleasant, beautiful, it smells GREAT and you could just sit & relax in there all day. I WUVED IT!

So now we are home on this here yucky overcast, really humid although not too hot, day.

I made a beanie for one of sadie’s friends birthday today. Here are some pics. It’s crocheted with some kind of lame looking wave. I could have done better on it, I just didn’t have the time, energy or normal level of perfection. Considering he is an 8 year old boy I don’t count on him keeping it his whole life. It was fun to make though. Here are a few pics with Sadie modeling.

Like I said, not perfect but good for a kid & superfast! 2 hours worth of work. Woolease yarn, simple!

My goal for tonights knitting is to complete Sadie’s bedspread. All I have left to do is work 12 more rows, bind off, then start the edging. Once done I will post pictures! Should be fun!!
