| Cherries |

With just portrait work to do last weekend we were able to have our first relaxing Sunday of the summer. What better way to spend one of those than with some canning?
I found a recipe for amaretto cherries a few weeks before and had been fantasizing about them obsessively. |
The only issue that I ran into is that my cherries got pretty floaty. I don't know what the remedy is for that-perhaps maybe just packing them in tighter?
It has actually been a few weeks since we made these-I heard that waiting a bit made them more intense. And seriously, life doesn't get ANY better than when you can come home to a jar of liquored up cherries after a hard day. Forget those pesky forks or accompaniments like ice cream and pound cake. All you need are fingers and greed. |

I was trying to get a good picture of this beret that I knit to post on Ravelry. I, however, learned the lesson that self portraits with heavy cameras that are meant to be of an entire hat are not as easy as I had initially bargained for (that is if you don't want to include a mirror and have very short arms).
Enter toddler. Who just so happens to be at that perfect age where I can say, "Please take these towels up to the bathroom for me." or "Wear this hat while I take your picture." and I am more times than not, met with an extra enthusiastic "Okay! Ma!" |
| I only include this one because, it looks to me, to have a twinge of 'blue steel' to it. |
