Quick update on Vermont flooding

Just wanted to let everyone know that my house in Jacksonville, Vermont, was unaffected by the catastrophic flooding that occurred this past weekend. However, we were very, very lucky. Wilmington, the next closest town, was devastated. Many roads and bridges in the area were compromised, if not washed away. So many mind-numbing images online of the destruction. So overwhelming...

So until I can do a more extensive post, here's information about how you can help the people of Vermont.

Take care and be safe, everyone!

Eye Candy Friday -- The Impending Storm Edition

The approaching ominous clouds over Jones Beach Theater, right before the scheduled start of last week's Jimmy Buffett concert...



Who'd a thought that a week later we'd be getting ready for significant hurricane! I've got the day off to day, so we'll be battening down the hatches at Chez Elizzabetty. If you're in the path of Irene (and that's one might big path she has), please stay safe!

Eye Came Friday--The Calming Version

Some soothing blues and greens for a Friday...

Colorway "Peace" from my Psychedelic Moose series...

You know, these just might find their way into the Etsy shop this weekend...

Eye Candy Friday--The "where the hell have you been" edition

Yeah, I know. Long time, WTF? There's been a lot going on, and I'll get into it all eventually. But for now, how about some
"fruits" of my labor...

Eye Candy Friday

I just loves Eye Candy Friday. Especially when there is so much unbearable cuteness to share...

Presenting Houdini Miss Lily, as she wriggles out from her sweater!

She really does like wearing sweaters, but she also loves gettin' nekkid.

Oh no...

Why you touchin' ma butt?

Eye Candy Friday -- The Sleepy Edition

Just resting up for the weekend...

Eye Candy Friday

Handspun and plied on my Ashford Joy. My first complete skein! A little on the bulky (and slightly inconsistent) side, but that's fine by me.

Random Thursday

What better way to ease back into the blogging thing than a Random Thursday! Here's a look back at the last few months...

• Nice horsey outside the sugar house.

Visiting sugar houses during the Whitingham Maple Festival

• What's the best way to ruin a pair of sneakers? Walk through the snow/slush/mud of early mud season, of course!

• Nothing like spinning by the fireplace in a wonderful Vermont inn...

April knitting weekend in Vermont

• Hanging out at the old watering hole (which has since been renamed and under new management) with Punkin.

Monday open mike night at Bartini, Babylon Village

• The unbearable cuteness of Lily...

...even when she on guard duty!

Eye Candy Friday -- the unbearable cuteness

Meet Lily, the newest resident at Chez Elizzabetty--the L.I. residence

Hi Peoples!

Elizzabetty can't come to the blog right now 'cause she's hyp-no-tized by my unbearable cuteness. (Yes, the cuteness is just the cross I have to bear.) I let her come back to you when I done making her play with me.

Later, chicas!

Fall foliage at Jockey Hollow, Morristown, New Jersey

Yes, I'm a bad, bad blogger. But I'm looking to fix that. More posts to come...

By the way--as of October 26th I'm no longer unemployed... :-)
