If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere. ~ Vincent Van Gogh

This week has been a bit of an emotional roller coaster. Hiking and being out in nature has an amazing restorative effect. It soothes the soul. The British Hubby and I had a chance to enjoy mother nature on Friday. We had a short hike on part of the Pacific Crest Trail. The British Hubby found a lovely stream for us to picnic and relax. I love hiking in the Pacific North West. It’s pretty easy to find trails with amazing waterfalls, streams, babbling brooks and stunning views. Here are a few photos from our picnic on the Pacific Crest Trail or our PCTP as the British Hubby called it.

You can see the start of Milo III also made the journey. This is out of Malabrigo in Rios Purpuras to match the second aviatrix hat from last month. I’m on a bit of a tight deadline for this one. There is a possibility I won’t have this done by the baby shower.

Below I’m modeling a hat from Malabrigo March 2015. It’s my Blue Mashed Potato Molly made from Malabrigo Worsted in Blue Mashed Potato. Worsted hats are so warm and squishy.

Update on other wips:

• Nothing new on these wips. I’m furiously trying to finish Milo III.

Here’s Burt in his anti-paparazzi phase. “No pictures, please.

Stay tuned for the first liberated Orphan Wip of November coming soon!
