Working Weekend…

It was a fun kind of working so I’m not complaining. Most of the weekend was dedicated to photography. There was a very early morning photoshoot on Saturday with Amanda (many thanks go out to Bob and Sue for taking care of the kiddos). I should probably qualify my “very early” - my typical bedtime the past 6 weeks or so has probably averaged about 2-2:30am, so with a bedtime like that a 7am photoshoot is very early. Then there were quick edits that evening followed by more refined edits on Sunday once the top picks were chosen. Above is a sneak peek of the results.

Due to working, however, I don’t have my linkity pulled together. In fact, the whole week last week was pretty busy so my Google Reader is indicating more than 300 unread posts :-/ I’m hoping to catch up on that a bit today. Since 10 on Tuesday is not happening this week I’ll have linkity for you tomorrow. An even exchange of one list for another, right?

I did get in a quick trip to the farmer’s market and got some of the most amazing heirloom tomatoes I’ve ever had and was excited to see the roasted chilies are now in season as well as pears and more varieties of peaches! The usual eggs and mushrooms came home with me as well. So it wasn’t *all* work, but very busy nonetheless. What did you do this weekend?

Having to get up by 7 is criminal even thought I have to do it myself lol. The piece of the shawl in the pic is pretty.

I love the small Heirloom tomatoes & grape tomatoes for some odd reason I don’t like big tomatoes.

Just picked our first heirloom tomato - and didn’t get a photo of it!

Can’t wait to see the rest of the shawl!

Oh, that’s a very promising photo! Getting great pics of finished knitted items is such a challenge-yet another thing pattern designers have to deal with all the time.
