New York, New York

Hello peeps!
Tomorrow I'm taking a plane to NYC :D I cannot wait! I've been there before...but I always love going back! This time my good friend Amy and I are going to Boston as well! Pictures will be up when I get back :) Have a great week, I know I will ;)

Puppies!!Puppies,puppies,puppies!

On Saturday I went to visit my brother who is watching some dogs for a family friend. One of the dogs had a litter of puppies about ten weeks ago so I got to play with all the puppies :D Complete and utter bliss! Puppies are the cutest things on the planet! These are a wire-haired dachshund breed and are adorable beyond belief!

My shoes were particularly interesting :)

Yearning for yarn!

The weather is rapidly getting colder here so I decided to knit myself a scarf! A circle scarf to be exact, which is quite easy if you have time and knitting needles and are handicapped when it comes to knitting intricate stuff. The  knitting needles are quite large, size 8/9 so you can see progress quite quickly. The yarn I used is an alpaca blend in a dark grey which is soft against the skin, me like! My goal is to knit myself a sweater with the help of nice aunts and co-workers! Hopefully I'll be done by christmas, but if this rain keeps up I might be able to finish before. Any others out there that feel like knitting recipes are written in chinese?

An apple a day keeps the doctor away!

On Sunday I had a little helper in the yard, which resulted in way too many apples in my kitchen. So when life gives you apples- make pie! We started with a fairly simple apple crumble (although the recipe should have said more apples, it was a bit dry) and ended with a fantastic apple pie that looked like the pie from a cartoon window sill. For the pie recipe we needed a whooping 1,5 kg/ 3 lb of apples, luckily I had plenty of hands to help :) Now I'm off to pick more apples that will be sliced and diced and put in the freezer so I can make pies, cakes and crumbles all winter long! Got any recipe tips with apples for me?`
