Disneyland

My friend Erin won a two day trip with parkhopper passes to Disneyland through a radio drawing. She invited some of her friends (Kelly, Bree, Susan, and me), and we just arrived at Disney’s Grand Californian. Wow. Just. Wow.

They surprised us with wine, cake, chocolate covered strawberries, and toys in our room.

grande seda

phew!

i finally finished the grande seda project by mirasol.

it’s a lovely horizontal cabled shrug/vest.

i used the recommended yarn called wach’i made of cotton and silk.

the pattern suggested a frog closure but i will probably stick with a shawl pin.

mirasol is a fantastic company in peru doing community projects.

they create beautiful yarn and write lovely patterns.

check out more about mirasol yarns and the community centers they build here.

new? car

so i recently sold my scooter and bought a car.

sad but happy.

i do like the ac in the summer. and being able to drive longer distances.

the car’s headlights had aged, and in lieu of replacing with expensive parts, i decided to try the headlight restorer kit sold for approximately 25 bones at the local car parts shop.

what do you think?
