Weekend in Photos

This weekend we went up to the Poconos for our ski weekend.  I don't ski, but I enjoy sitting in a warm house knitting and reading and baking cake while others ski.


Simon brought the guitar and we sang lots of Bruce Sprinsteen.  


We played lots of games, Phase 10 and Settlers of Catan were among the Favorites. 


It was also our friend Jason's birthday so we decorated the house. 


He wore a fancy birthday hat.


And I made him a spice cake with white frosting which Kirsten decorated.  

On Sunday we went and learned how to shoot, sadly my camera battery died right when we started so I have no pictures of us getting safety instruction, leaning how to load the magazines, or target shooting.  It was really fun.

Long Weekend

I'm back, well I was back yesterday from Jim Thorpe, but we still had our friends staying with us.  It was a great long weekend with a lot of events.  Our first event was a student of mine's Birthday.  He was my student at the camp I worked at and lest summer he was old enough to come back and work on staff. 


I got to see some friends that I hadn't seen in awhile and catch up with another one of my old students who goes to school in Boston. We had dinner at Bucca di Beppo.  


We sat in the Pope room at the restaurant.  There was a bust of the pope on a lazy susan in the center of the table.  We played spin the pope a lot during dinner. 


Other than all the pope pictures the food was yummy and the company was great.  
Then on Saturday our friends from Boston came down for our friends wedding in Jim Thorpe.  It was great to see them and Simon and I were excited to spend time with them.  


The wedding was beautiful and the food was amazing.  It was from the catering company that uses all local produce and meat.  They had the best crab cakes I have ever eaten in  my life.  The reception is where I took most of the pictures.  


The bride's dress was beautiful and almost like a sculpture with all the draping and crinolines.  It was reminiscent of butter cream frosting.  (Oh, by the way the cake was amazing!)


This photo has a great story.  Our friend Josh was the DJ and he played raining men and all the guys we are friends with got up and danced on the small stage in the reception hall.  It was hilarious.  


It was a great party.  I was so caught up with all the fun I forgot to have Simon take a picture of my dress.  I will have to have a photo shoot or see if any of my friends have on of me wearing my dress.  (The dress came out perfect and it fit like a dream!)

Now I am looking forward to sitting around on in my living room, watching some netflix and knitting.

Happy 27th Birthday



Today is my 27th Birthday.  I am now in my late 20's and I am glad to be in my late 20's they are so much better than my early 20's.  With that said I am going to go eat pancakes that the hubs is making, drink coffee, and have a day where I do what I love best.  Which means I'll probably end up knitting a bit and sewing, and maybe watch Pride and Prejudice.
(BTW Interweave Knits is coming out with Jane Austin inspired knits.)

Post Birthday

Yesterday was my 26th Birthday and now I am officially a year older. Simon likes the months of October to March because our age gap closes, if only slightly for those months. Birthdays to me are an excuse to go out to fancy dinner or by myself a new pair of boots. I have yet to buy my new boots, but we did go out to dinner last night with our friends Antea and Wes. We went to Jones in center city and the food was great. I absolutely loved the potato pancakes. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that I liked this resurant as it is a Stephan Starr resturant and I do love the continental even if Simon does not. We can both agree on Jones though with entrees like meatloaf and pot pie on the menu Simon gets a good sized portion of some of his all time faves and I love the idea of comfort food in a homey comfortable setting. (I love the fact that each booth has a nightlight.) Add in a mural of the jersey shore (Simon and mine favorite summer spot) and Jones was a great pick.

I leave with a pick of some new hand spun in my Shop.

Happy Late Birthday

Yesterday was my birthday, and sadly we could not celebrate as Simon had a late class and i had to work. yuck! But Simon is taking my to my favorite Italian place on South St and is going to let me go crazy in the yarn shop (i do have a spending limit) but he has to go in and he has to stay with me while I shop for yarn! Also on Saturday when I am done with work we are meeting up with a bunch of my friends for drinks and pub food at the Nodding Head. So I have a packed week of celebratory eating and drinking.

As it was my birthday yesterday I have deceided to share some on my favorites from etsy. I did have to wade through a ton of vintage wedding gowns in my favs, but i do have some awesome things.
