little baby gray
i am looking for a good home for this little girl stray.
i’d keep her myself but i don’t want to be the crazy cat lady.
so let me know if you want a gorgeous little kitten with golden eyes.

laundry detergent
i like doing laundry.
i like ironing.
i can use it as an excuse to knit and watch the television.
well, you can’t knit and iron, but you get the idea.
anyway, i made my own detergent the other day using a recipe that ashley posted.
it was pretty easy, and once made, i poured it into my old laundry detergent container with the pour spout.
the nice part is saving money, and using the individual ingredients for other uses.
next i’ll be making homemade dishwasher detergent once my old store bought runs out.

grande seda
phew!
i finally finished the grande seda project by mirasol.
it’s a lovely horizontal cabled shrug/vest.
i used the recommended yarn called wach’i made of cotton and silk.
the pattern suggested a frog closure but i will probably stick with a shawl pin.
mirasol is a fantastic company in peru doing community projects.
they create beautiful yarn and write lovely patterns.
check out more about mirasol yarns and the community centers they build here.

colorado
I visited my friend Stacy who lives in Colorado a couple of weeks ago.
Her church The Refuge is a pretty cool bunch who takes care of each other and the downtrodden.
They even have a community garden on the property where they meet.

summer sunflower
In the community garden where I live, I planted sunflowers.
I’ve never grown them before, but I remember my dziadzi (grandfather in Polish) used to grow them in his garden in Tempe.
