I am home from Colorado and loving life. Remember my list? My silly, pent-up, can’t-relax-to-go-on-vacation list?
Yep. I went on vacay and accomplished my goals, minus the discipline part. My running shoes remained in the suitcase and a margarita remained in my hand for most of four days. I needed a break from work and the heat; mission accomplished. My swim this morning felt great and refreshing. I can’t wait to ride this afternoon.
That list, in photos:
A lime green baby bolero from One Skein completed and delivered to my newest favorite baby on earth: Jonas Finn.
Jonas and his proud mama, Min.
I am in love.
Seriously. Could he be any cuter? (said in my best Chandler Bing voice.)
Then there were the swaps:
I’m not showing much of this one yet, but I participated in Heidi’s back to school swap. My partner lives in Australia, hence the summery print. And has three little girls. Big bag for mama, little ones for the wees. Stuffed and shipped and it only cost, ahem, $43 to mail. Yikes.
Another swing bag for a friend who made a request. I love this pattern in canvas.
There was also plenty of reading (I just finished The Binding Chair. Three out of five stars. I had no idea where the Chinese tradition of binding feet came from and it is a bit shocking!), stretching, cheering for the Broncos and playing dice. A few fun photos of family and Colorado to cap off a perfect vacation:
The view from our patio, pre-snow.
Two days later, snow-capped peaks.
Our clan, minus one very unhappy-to-be-in-Texas-without-her-family mama.
My brother Cody and his new puppy Raja.
A wonderful weekend indeed. I hope you are also feeling at peace!
