How I remember Nara, Japan (A photo series)

Contest submission for bittersweet's photo contest found here.

the wheels on the bus go round and round....

Inspired by this post awhile ago (who am I kidding, I am always inspired by Kelli), I decided to start taking the bus at least once a week. It probably more than doubles my commute time, but it's been pretty fun. I take my knitting with me, and it's fairly productive. Look what I got done today on the ride there and back!!

Please ignore the fuzziness. I don't like flash, and well, it was dark by the time I get back. That's almost a whole square for this blanket! I'm so excited. Can't wait to see how much I get done tomorrow.

I've got mail!!

How awesome is this? I love mail! Here are some recent acquisitions from the mailbox... :)

From a swap with cousin. Haven't finished my part yet... Love it, thanks so much!!

A bag for my knitting...

...which is already inside... :p

Other SUPER fun stuff too!!

And I won a contest on Joanna's blog, and she sent me this! It's gorgeous, right? Thanks Jo!

Mmmmm mustard yellow...

And reversible too! Who doesn't love reversible things?

Some gorgeous laminated cotton...

And here is the little bit of sewing I've done recently...

Duck pillow that I picked up as a kit from PIQF. Please excuse the wrinkles, it is already being used!
