Latest Venture

Well, every respectable leaf has dropped from the trees here in the Foothills of Maine. If it weren't for the millions of pine trees in Maine, this state would look so desolate in the Fall-Winter season. I so hate this time of year. Our planet is supposed to return to its' original 'temperate' condition in a few years and I cannot wait! If we could just do away with the winter, life would be so much grander for myself and quite a few others.

Right now, it is raining to beat the band outside. Flood warnings are up for most of Maine's counties and high wind warnings are supposed to be in effect later this weekend. Temperatures have dropped and most folks have been using heat for more than a few weeks now.

I have been using my creative energy to knit baby things for an adorable 4 month old named Ruth Summer Drake (who lives in my town), a sweater and hat set for my cousin Michelle who just gave birth to her first child in Los Angeles; and a Baby Blanket for another cousin's baby who is not scheduled to enter the world until November.



Ruth needed a Car Seat Blanket to keep her toasty while visiting friends and relatives.



Here is a hat, a pair of Thumbless Mittens and a pair of socks for Ruth. The socks are knitted from wool so they are sure to be extra warm.



Finally, here is little Ruth modeling her hat! Isn't she Cute??!!!



Here is the Baby Blanket for my 'Yet-To-Be-Born' cousin next month.



Here is the Kimono-type Sweater and Hat for my cousin Michelle's Baby Boy.
