Portraits at the Exploratorium

Last August, we travelled to Oakland, California to visit Richard. Oakland is right next door to San Francisco. We were only there for a few days, but one of the highlights was a visit to the Exploratorium. The Exploratorium is a Science Centre. It's located on the site of an old World's Fair.


Check out the height of these pillars!














There were lots of cool things to do in the Exploratorium but I just loved the many opportunities for portrait taking.
This mirror turns you upside down!










Here's a portrait of Richard, Aaron and Hart!












And here's me taking a picture of myself!









And here's me taking another picture of myself.



And here's Thea emerging from a swirl of colours!

Knitting and Party Outfits

First, inspired by Brooklyn Tweed's lovely striped Noro scarf, I have started knitting my own Noro striped scarf. Here's a photo of the work in progress. Second, in a wild and crazy mid-life crisis kind-of-moment, I purchased a wild and crazy (for me) party dress. Here's a picture of Hart and I off to Auntie Gloria's party. I felt I needed to do this before I turn 50 and while my weight was down. I AM planning on keeping the weight off. The secret to getting on a dress like this (which has a lining that you can't see) is to leave it on the hanger and "dive" up to the light. If you don't do this, you risk getting tangled in the lining. You also have to watch how you sit since you don't want to bend the sequins when you sit down. I can report that the party was wonderful, the food was great, the decor was beautiful and it was great to see people we haven't seen in a while.

Happy New Year!!!

The best thing about 2009 was the arrival of Thea and Aaron's new cousin, Kalil. We got a new tree for Christtmas. Thea got a beautiful feather headband from Auntie Anne. I knit a bunch of hats this year - here's the one I made for Aaron. I also knit Aaron the Incognito tube.
