i have been down with a cold the last few days, that is why i have been quiet. i went back to work today and am a bit less tired. though i still think siesta should be a US custom.

last weekend my friend kathy and i celebrated our birthdays late. we had an amazing brunch at Salty's in West Seattle. while neither of us can do all-you-can-eat justice, it was amazing food and wonderful to get to sample as much as we wanted. and crab, oh my, crab. pity it is so messy to eat! it was lovely, though. i heard a waiter tell someone there were 26 desserts alone.

then we went to TWO yarn stores, and wandered around west seattle a little. and there was a new french bulldog puppy at So Much Yarn. his name is Angus and he is adorable. He is tiny and his ears are still floppy. is it terrible that i think i would rather have a puppy than a baby?

Kathy gave me some really wonderful presents for my birthday.. there are some more photos on flickr.. these were some of m favorites. little hand-knit felted pods. they are so cunning, i would love to see an entire installation of them someplace.
p.s. ok, only pods. the shells and rocks are on flickr, though. click image to go there.
the pod pattern is from secret snowbird
