May 2007 Archives
Thank you all for your comments on our wedding! I'm a little overwhelmed right now, but I really do appreciate all your kind wishes! BFF (no longer BF) and I are embarking on a new adventure, and, well, read on...
Topanga Canyon, 2003. An early, misty morning in May.
While not singularly remarkable, this picture has always been special to me. You know the feeling: when you capture that moment and something in you changes forever. For me, it started with a lump in my throat and became a pitter-patter in my chest. The instant before he turned to look for me, before I waved to get his attention, before I ran down to join him. I resolved to follow him wherever he would go.
Love takes you far.
Years later.
Far means Europe: Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Greece, Slovenia, the whole continent.
Far means a year, maybe two years, perhaps for good.
Far means wandering. Mostly in search of the best rock climbing (of course). Immersing ourselves in different cultures, getting lost in ages-old cities, learning new languages (Spanish and Catalan for him, German for me), eating and drinking yummy new things. And, having a memorable time with the only person I'd ever think of wandering with.
By the time you read this, we'll have crossed over the Atlantic, on our whirlwind honeymoon/climbing adventures. We'll be without roots for a while, but with BFF I'll always be home.

The husband and I are so very grateful to J., M., and D. for taking loads of beautiful photographs; Julia—dear Julia, I can never thank you enough—for orchestrating the wedding, and calming me down when we had to turn around in downtown traffic to pick up the forgotten license; and the Honorable Judge Harry Pregerson for giving us a truly wonderful day.

Is it heresy that this knitter is posting about quilts when the East Coast knitblogging contingent is converging at MDSW this weekend? :-)
The thing about quilts I've found more satisfying than knits (horrors, such blasphemy) is that you get a finished object in less than half the time. This quilt? Took me four weeks. Total. (Uh, Wendy put your hand down.)
Cold temps earlier in April provided me with the perfect excuse to throw this on top of our comforter. The Polar Bear I live with didn't complain for once. Maybe he's getting used to having a stack of quilts piled at the foot of the bed?
Yes, it's more Amy Butler squares. More, more, more! This time around I'm using fabric from her Temple Flowers and Charm collection. These came from eBay, part of a huge set that included Ginger Bliss, Belle, and Gypsy Caravan. I lucked out on that particular auction. eBay is pure eVil.
