I’m finished her body, finished her arms, finished her collar...though I still have to seam her & put in her zipper. Here’s how Olive looks so far…

She looks a little tiny...but as we all know...ribbing stretches...big time. I’m really looking forward to finishing Olive. As you know, she was put on hold for Birch and Butterfly.

I mentioned that I want to knit up another Butterfly for my Christmas party. I’m torn between these 2 colors…

I LOVE the black and I already have beautiful blackish grey irredesent beads for it. As far as the wine color, I only have clear beads for now. I can see the black one with a nude cami underneath with a pretty black skirt or slacks. Just don’t know!

Donna and I want to knit up this Rowan sweater from Magazine #32…

We both decided to knit this in white KSH. I know, I know more KSH. I’m sure I’ll get sick of it soon enough...not!

Workout Update…
Let me start by saying my that my Pilates instructor has upgraded my workouts to the intermediate to advanced level on the mat, the reformer & the Cadilac. Help me! I am so sore. My abs have gotton super strong from these workouts. I look forward to going as she is constantly changing and trying new exercises. No boredom here! Just sweat, sweat, drip, drip away!  I’m still going 2 times a week. I have also been doing my weights and cardio about 2 times a week. And of course there is my golf at least 2 to 3 times a week. More if I could.

I am getting so excited about Stitches East. I can’t wait to go!!!! If anyone else who is going wants to meet up...at the show or to get some dinner & drinks & gambling or any time, let me know. It is always great to meet the bloggers.

Pretty photos…

These beautiful butterflies are always on our Butterfly bush. I wonder what attracks them to this pretty bush with gorgeous purple flowers?


Did I mention how much I love my new camera?

Have a great rest of the day!
