Anne Actors

When watching Anne of Green Gables the movie, The part that bothers me the most, more than inaccuracies in storyline or the fact that they took license with characters, is that when they made the character of Matthew and then had to get a body double for the actor when he was sick, it doesn't look at all like him when you see him from different angles. Let me tell ya, it just gets on my last nerve. Completely detracts from the enjoyment of one of my all time favorite stories.

Europe

Okay, caught me believing this Europe trip wasn't of my own imagination...I'm actually getting ready now. Today, I got the luggage set, the converter/adapter, a set of locks and a money belt.

Sticky Stitches


I made this today. 
It really didn't take that long, but now I need someone who sews to finish it up for me. As it is now it is quite uncomfortable to wear. More like a combo robe & acupuncture set. All around I am quite pleased with it, though. Now if only I had a friend (hint), or a mother (hint), or a sister (hint), who had a sewing machine. (Hint, Hint)

The Snow


We just got our first snow up here in the high desert of New Mexico. It was very pretty, big fluffy flakes, blown against the side of buildings and mesas , and sitting softly on all the branches of the evergreens. So picturesque. It's getting colder by the day and the sun falls below the horizon sooner and sooner each day. Exactly the weather for hot tea, big soft quilts, and stacks of good books.
