I completed Joshua's socks today and here they are.




Nice self striping yarn in cool, boyish colors. This is the first time that I used a 'forethought' heel to get the neat bulleye's effect which is more noticeable on one of the socks.
I should have knit the foot just a tad longer because the socks fit perfectly so that means Josh will be growing out of them pretty soon which will be a shame.

Woo hoo, I'm on a roll! :) Back to my regular scheduled program because it's Monday and the kids go back to school. Josh walks to school (his own personal salt mine).

So much for our cold snap here in SoCal; the temps rose to near 80* this weekend so my pasty white legs were back in shorts. My guys are always in shorts so it was their usual attire.

I'm sure the flowers/plants/trees are confused too with the weather change.



I know this pic isn't in B/W but it's my 365 project and I can do what I want to which doesn't bode well for the rest of the year! ;P

There are only a few trees that change in the autumn so these bright cheerful flowers caught my eye this morning. Yes, I'm behind in posting but I'm catching up now.

Today is as good as any to kick start my project...

Kevin Westgarth #19

I went to Toyota Sports Center to watch the LA Kings practice. They had just come back from a road trip and this big guy Kevin Westgarth scored his 1st NHL goal against Dallas which is very exciting and the whole team was almost as excited as he was. It will be nice to see him score more this season!

Introduction...

Hi my name is Debbie and I am a SoCal (Southern California) native. I am in my 40's, married 15 years to a wonderful guy, Hector and 2 wonderful sons, Tyler and Joshua. I'm a SAHM (stay at home mom) after spending about 15 years working as a pharmacist. I enjoy being with my family/friends, reading, travel, cooking & good food, reading, snowboarding, NHL hockey (LA Kings), knitting and photography.

 The photography part is the most important especially to this blog since this is how I share and document all of  these other  items that I've mentioned. I shoot for pleasure mostly but recently in the last year, I've been wanting to challenge myself to take better pictures. To do this, I thought I would try the 365 photo challenge and post 1 photo a day. I looked at other 365 day projects to get ideas and what I've learned is that anything goes. Some will take a self protrait daily, some just take a picture of whatever but the idea is to post a photo daily. This will be a huge commitment on my part and I will try to shoot daily although I know that there will be times when I can't. So I was thinking of having themes on a monthly schedule. For example, I can have the theme of  Vehicles take dozens of pictures on that subject and post a photo a day along with the story behind it. Some of the themes are very broad so that will be fun in how I intrepret and share it.

So far I've come up with 17 themes and I figured that I can get myself going at this years end so I can work out any kinks in my project. I will try as much as I can to stick to the month's theme as possible and post a photo every day. If I do miss a day due to life I will post the photos as I am able but I do want to commit to this.

I will just go down the list and begin posting December 1st.

Here is my list:
