Let the Photos Do the Talking

I had a great weekend in Austin, but surprisingly, I didn’t take photos of all the fun things I saw. (Not even one with Meg in her new sweater!) Here are a few photos I did take, and one I didn’t.

img_7165.JPG Some self-portrait action, showing the fancy necklace I scored from a piƱata…

I was trying to get Meg in this photo, but she turned her head right as I snapped the shot.

  2. Good times, good times.
    You are probably aware of this already, but Etsy has some cool shops for dog collars. Here’s some that I found:

  7. Glad you had a good weekend. Glad it was a moose lodge and not a moose, hunting season has started here now so we have to watch out for the real moose on the highways. I like the pic of all the wool, nice colors.
    Love the Flame collar as well. What a model he is. :)

  8. It looks like fabulous fun! :-)

    But I have to know what the green ball of “yarn” is on the table?

  9. You look terrific and it seemed like you were having a good time. As always, the doggies are stylin’ and profilin’.

  10. I just want to know how you get the gang to wear collars. Mine have chewed through every collar I ever tried.

  15. The big ball of green “yarn” is actually cut up t-shirt material, wound into a ball. There are needles there so anyone can have a go at knitting with it. The last person who completed a row must have had really tight tension, because no one is strong enough now to complete another row!

    Believe me, I tried. And I’m no weakling.

  16. It was great to have you here! I only wish we’d have more overlap time before I leave.

  18. Sounds like a good time in your soon-to-be home city!

  19. DUDE! I thought the Caro was gone, so I didn’t call her when I was in Austin. (Her house is near the house where I was staying.) My Austin time was so minimal though, I didn’t get to see anyone or knit at all. So sad! I have to go back again SOON!
