Do, Do, Dooo, Lookin' Out My Front Door...
Cara and Stephanie live in places very different than mine. Stephanie lives in the wide open spaces of the West and Cara's place is what I expect in many big American cities. Our condo is a townhouse style, in a row with 6 others, and a big front lawn and trees out front. You can't see much in any direction from the front door except the neighbors door. A picture of our front door will show the beautiful stained glass window a friend made for us several years ago. That's Moxie looking out through the glass. The view we love, and show you most often, is out the back door and a short walk away.
This week has been busy and it was difficult to fit in much
knitting time. Tuesday night I did work on a sleeve for Gloria and hope to have the another complete this weekend.
Seaweed is calling as she wants her time in the sun. It might be
good to keep things simple this weekend and finish up these two
projects. Since Project Spectrum begins on Wednesday that should
be a perfect day to cast on Cutaway. I can't wait to tell you
what I have planned for her!
Enjoy your weekend and yes, a photo shoot is scheduled as it will be a picture perfect weekend in the mountains. Rosarie will have her place in the spotlight soon.
Such pretty mountains - I never tire of your photos of them. Have a great weekend, I look forward to seeing a modeled Rosarie!

Just look at all that snow on your front lawn! It's still winter in Utah. We just have mud. :(
I'm gathering my things for Project Spectrum too. So glad we're starting off with reds and pinks. With a bang, you know.

Have a GREAT weekend!

Thanks for your comment Margene, about my sock pal socks. What a beautiful view! Also, thanks for the reminder about Project Spectrum -- is it really March next week?! :)
Posted by: Laura | February 24, 2006 at 05:22 AM
I wish I had that view! ;)
Can't wait for the photo shoot and to hear more about your Project Spectrum plans!!

Hi, Moxie! Have a nice weekend, Hon. I hope everything is fine.
Posted by: Norma | February 24, 2006 at 05:51 AM
I love the colors in Gloria, as well as the colors in your beautiful stained glass!
Posted by: Kim | February 24, 2006 at 05:55 AM
I love CCR! Thanks for starting my day off with that song. Nice front door - the stained glass insert is beautiful.
Posted by: Carole | February 24, 2006 at 06:18 AM
Wow, I can't wait to see you in Gloria. Cute pattern, and you finished in no time at all. I feel marooned on sleeve island, 10rows/in. Darn!
Posted by: Judy | February 24, 2006 at 06:23 AM
I love seeing where other people live... the mountains and the stained glass are both breathtaking, as I'm sure Gloria will be when she's gotten herself together.
Posted by: Lucia | February 24, 2006 at 06:24 AM
I can't wait to see Gloria all completed and you wearing her!
Posted by: Jackie | February 24, 2006 at 06:30 AM
I can't wait to see Rosarie and your pictures this weekend. Have a good one!
Posted by: Scout | February 24, 2006 at 06:38 AM
Ahhh... Love the pictures from your back door. Heh, I don't even have a back door.
Have a happy knitting weekend!
Posted by: Chris | February 24, 2006 at 06:45 AM
That's my favorite place for a stained glass window (my parents have one with their house numbers)... yours is beautiful.
Posted by: Liz | February 24, 2006 at 07:17 AM
Have a lovely weekend! I look forward to *meeting* Rosarie!
Posted by: Jennifer | February 24, 2006 at 07:40 AM
Gorgeous view - your mountains are so majestic. I just love them. The stained glass is beautiful - I've always wanted some, but just haven't found the right one. Have a great weekend!
Posted by: Stephanie | February 24, 2006 at 08:25 AM
Wow, what a back door view! Awesome!
Posted by: christine | February 24, 2006 at 08:52 AM
That's a beautiful stained-glass window! You don't often see personal touches like that in condos or townhouses--there's usually an association screaming about the color and size of your mailbox, the wattage of your porch light, stuff like that. (Ask me how I know, sigh.)
Two finishes in one weekend? (Three, if Rosarie counts?) I think you're the only knitter I know who could pull that off.
Posted by: Beth S. | February 24, 2006 at 09:15 AM
love your stained glass Margene!
Posted by: ann | February 24, 2006 at 09:21 AM
I can't wait to see your finished Gloria! That was a fast knit for you. I am thinking about swatching for Cutaway soon too so I'm curious about your news for yours. Have a great weekend Margene!
Posted by: Karen | February 24, 2006 at 09:26 AM
Aw, Moxie! Did doing this front-door picture freak her out as much as it did Chappy. He did NOT like the idea of opening the door and not going any where!
Posted by: --Deb | February 24, 2006 at 09:26 AM
I never tire of the view from the back of your home! Unfortunately, ours is of the Neighbor From Hell and his big, ugly, blue plastic (and illegal) swimming pool. Love your stained glass!
Posted by: Marcia | February 24, 2006 at 09:31 AM
Looking forward to Rosarie's time in the sun and most likely some snow! Moxie is a cutie! I see the other dog in the background. We are owned by two Cairn Terriers! They would love a screen door like yours and I would love the stained glass window! Have a great weekend!
Posted by: Peg | February 24, 2006 at 09:43 AM
Thanks for sharing your view with us -- I love getting a glimpse into other people's lives. I can't wait to see Rosarie and hear about your weekend adventures. I'll be working Saturday (bleh) but knitting on Sunday!
Posted by: Zarah | February 24, 2006 at 09:44 AM
End o' month can be such a hairy time at work.
Have a wonderful weekend, Margene. I can't wait to see pictures of Rosarie in all her finished glory! Do you think you'll wear her a lot?
Posted by: Snow | February 24, 2006 at 10:03 AM
Yay! Rosarie picutres!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Posted by: Imbrium | February 24, 2006 at 10:59 AM
Looking forward to seeing the Rosarie modelled in the sun (or shade) such a beautiful thing she is.
Posted by: Liz | February 24, 2006 at 12:38 PM
Amazing difference between the front and back door views. I cannot imagine seeing that out the back. Cannot. Looking forward to seeing Rosarie.
Posted by: Laurie | February 24, 2006 at 01:26 PM
Oh wow, your pictures are great too. I would love to live in the mountains. I was supposed to do mine today from Stephanie, but didn't have time. I'll aim for Monday.
Have a great weekend.
Posted by: Rebekah | February 24, 2006 at 01:36 PM
Your mountains are magnificent! Love the stained glass over your front door.
Posted by: regina | February 24, 2006 at 02:54 PM
That stained glass window is a great hint about what lies inside.
Posted by: Katherine | February 24, 2006 at 04:30 PM
That is a killer view! Well, Glenn and Dave will be leaving Reno with the U-Haul early tomorrow AM, but without me, so I will have to see the snowy view another time, but am really looking forward to the view in June, as well as the results of your photo shoot. Happy Weekend to you, too!
Posted by: Birdsong | February 24, 2006 at 06:59 PM
That view is better than any TV I've ever watched...much more entertaining!
Posted by: Debi | February 24, 2006 at 07:29 PM
You live in such a beautiful place. These pictures take my breath away!Your wool collection looks fabulous too!Mmmm.Happy knitting!
Posted by: Laura | February 25, 2006 at 02:52 AM
So pretty...
If I could find a way to make the staircase look interesting I would take the photo but you have to get off my side street to get the cool stuff out my door.
Posted by: stinkerbell | February 25, 2006 at 06:19 AM
Beautiful view :o)
Posted by: JessaLu | February 26, 2006 at 07:00 PM
Ahh, what a beautiful view - front and back! Different both ways. And the stained glass is so pretty!
