Hovercraft at the Harbor

This past weekend we went to Oceanside Harbor Days where the Marines lined up the beach with some pretty crazy vehicles and let the public climb all over them. My favorite was this hovercraft. It's a massive cargo carrier that puffs up and floats right across the water. We often see them off shore while the Navy and Marines are doing training maneuvers so it was really fun to see it up close. We were lucky enough to get to see it head back to Camp Pendleton, too. Check out the video I took of it leaving the beach, I got pelted with sand but it was totally worth it! 

30 Minute Scarf Pattern

I hopped in to Yarning for You and saw this adorable scarf my friend Deb wipped up. It seriously takes 30 minutes to make from start to finish! Plan 10 minutes to knit the scarf, 10 minutes to cut the fringe and 10 minutes to add the fringe to the knitted scarf. It came out great! You can find the pattern here. Get it!

New iPhone Panorama

I'm totally in love with the new panorama setting on my iPhone. iOS6 has been good to me! Here's two images of a nice night Thomas and I spent with my parents at the Oceanside Pier here in lovely Oceanside, California. These photos are unedited and straight out of my pocket. Amazing!

What happened this week?

I found this creature in my bathtub! No thank you. Sir, I said, NO THANK YOU! I really don't mind spiders in the wild, I find their webs fascinating and their colors incredible. But don't go moving in to my home. This is my home, you make your home beyond the doors of this home. We work on a catch and release program so this giant, non-poisonous spider got scooped up and escorted outside to some nice cushy ice plant. Then I found another one on the sofa. I didn't sleep well that night.

I did some knitting on the deck. This is some kind of short sleeve sweater idea I'm having. I'm not sure if the knitting will turn into a pattern I like or not but I suppose that's the plight of any designer, knitting or otherwise. This little sweater will be for Ewe Ewe when it's complete. What's better than some Wooly Worsted merino yarn? Not much! I'm also sipping a Maker's and 7 here. Delicious. 

One dog did a weak job of guarding us from the hallway.

The other didn't bother at all and slept under the sofa.

Happy Friday, I hope your week was a success and your weekend is sunny and warm! 

Technicolor Carrots!

I just got around to eating the carrots that I unearthed here and oh my are they the most exciting thing. EVER! I mean it! Purple outside, orange inside. Color fun!
