The Best Birthday Gift Ever

Oh yeah!

 The best series on the Civil War.  The best gift, from the best daughter.  Thanks, honey!

KNITTING INTERRUPTED

In order to complete two Christmas gifts for two sweet, small boys.


The sequin and bead work does not show well in these shots (I NEED a new camera, SANTA), but I know two little guys who will like these stockings, and, I'm sure, whatever we decide to put in them.




Now back to my regularly scheduled past time - knitting.  But I can't post the yarn, nor the project, because that too is for a gift for the dd who gave me the best birthday gift, ever.  But, I will say that the yarn, which I purchased at a lys in Las Cruces, NM, is the softest, yummiest yarn I have ever worked with, and I wish I had bought lots more.  Since I didn't, I'm hoping I can at least get it on the internets, because Las Cruces is approximately 6 hours from my home.

We went on a weekend getaway a few weeks ago to Ruidoso, NM, which is an awesome Indian reservation (Apache) situated at 7500 feet in the rugged Sierra Blanca mountain chain.  It is breathtakingly beautiful, and one of our favorite places.


The next two shots were pulled from the internets, and show the beauty of this town way better than I can.


Set in this gorgeous mountain lake surrounding is a beautiful resort/golf/convention center/hotel/casino thingy, which supports the tribes still located in the area, and shown below is one of the town's main streets (there are only two!) in it's Christmas best.  Truly a magnificent little community.
