Henna Tatoo

Went to the Capital Hill Pride Festival today. While I was there I got this henna tatoo around my ankle. I'm thinking of getting something similar in a regular one.

Low Tide

Yesterday was the lowest tide of the year. So I took a break at lunch and walked across the street to check out the beach. I saw several starfish, which I got pictures of, and one really big crab which was too fast to get a picture of.

Amazing huh?

Tacoma Finish

My little brother's band:

Tacoma Finish, a Alternative/Rock/Jam Band in Seattle, WA.

Check it out!

I Won't Back Down

It is another day of hate as Prop 8 in California, the ban on gay marriage, stands.

But we won't back down. One day it will be equality for everyone and then no one can tell us our marriages and love are illegitimate.



Stand with us.

MJ's Baby Blanket

I had the pleasure to work on baby blanket with my Renton knitting group over the last 4 or 5 months for MJ, one of our members due in June.

We came up with the idea of knitting different squares in several different shades of green and purple. Angi who owns A Swell Yarn Shop was kind enough to put her expert yarn dyeing skills to use and supplied us with some wonderful yarn.

The yarn was then distributed to members secretly and each made one or more squares using different stitch patterns.

Here are pictures of my squares:

And here are the squares before we seamed them together. It was quite the puzzle to put together!

But Bella kept us entertained and we got it all seamed in one afternoon.

Here is MJ with her blanket at the baby shower we had for her:

Didn't it turn out beautiful?!?

You can read Shawna's write up on MJ's blanket and see more pictures.

For The Renton Gals

Happy? ;)
