home away from home.

You can see some of the other forts that have entered here.

One of the many fun things that went down (er... up) this weekend, was our fort! It's been too long since I made one, and this one was perfect. Elsie's loft is full of all the best kinds of happy things to make one awesome fort. I miss it already, and had some good times watching tv shows and knitting with some of the best company under the vintage tapestry roof.

It's been a fun day of flying so far. (never fun to say goodbye to friends, but I'll be back :D) I was kinda nervous.... well, make that pretty nervous about traveling alone, but now that I'm 1 flight away and a 2 hour drive from being home, I'm realizing that it's not so bad. It's rather fun actually. I haven't felt this independent in a while, and I'm proud of myself for navigating around, and making every flight in good time, while managing to eat properly and not leave anything behind! lol.

me and my starbucks will continue to chill out until I leave Minneapolis for Grand Forks.
Happy Thanksgiving once again to my Canadian blog friends! Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend.

  11. Hey! Loved your tutorial and decided to finally go to Hobby Lobby and get some fat yarn like the kind Elsie had that you were using to teach me on.

    It's a plum. Now, I'm going to find an easy sweater pattern and try it out.

    Miss you!
