scenes from a cozy christmas / 1 / quite possibly the most perfect tree i ever did see / 2 / my dad playing his piano... an instrument he hasn't played since he was a child, but one he plays with religious fervor these days / 3 / my mama's pumpkin pie... a favorite.

it's that time of year. nevermind the amazing indian summer we're still enjoying here in oakland, let the xmas knitting begin!

sun setting at my parents house in sonoma. californian holidays still take some getting used to for my east coast self, but i'll take the sunsets any day of the week.

it's non-stop knitting here in oakland. i'm planning on giving my hand knit socks as gifts, but i realize it's cutting it pretty close with xmas just 5 days away.
