Leaf Necklace

I depended on a number of key colleagues to survive the past six months of planning for the enormous work event two weeks prior. I relayed to one of my staff that knitting had become my survival/therapy. It was how I cleared my head every evening before bed. She then passed along a link to some lovely knit jewelry patterns. I’ve never made a knit necklace, nor incorporated beading into my knitting, but I had a skein of yarn that my mother-in-law had purchased for me during a trip to Italy that seemed like the perfect material for some fancy accessory work, I got the inspiration from a zodiac jewelry collection. As a thank you to this wonderful human for all of her support, I created  my first knit necklace for her. Thanks, Sandra! (I foresee making many a necklace for loved ones this holiday season!)

Columbus Day Weekend // 2015

ColumbusDayWkend_2015-11

A few images from one of many fall walks by our home this weekend. We are so fortunate to live among such natural beauty with so little disruption and noise. We love our little secluded plot of land with very few neighbors and even fewer cars. And Mother Nature made quite a showing to further reinforce the awesome.
