Knit and Bead Times: August 2009
http://knitandbeadtimes.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Knit and Bead Times. Adventures in travel, knitting, beading, and retirement. Monday, August 17, 2009. New York's Bead District. Dateline: New York, 7/16/09 - 7/28/09. I didn't actually buy anything at M&J Trimming. But I was fascinated by browsing there. They have some beads, and an incredible inventory of sequins, ribbons, rhinestones, etc. I imagine that this store is frequented by fashion designers and people creating costumes for Broadway shows. Which is a fantastic store for beadweavers like us....

Knit and Bead Times. Adventures in travel, knitting, beading, and retirement. Sunday, April 12, 2009. What Happens in Vegas. Dateline: Las Vegas, NV, 3/25/09 - 3/30/09. Whoever invented that slogan for Las Vegas probably didn't have beading in mind. But beading was the reason that Jim and I drove to Las Vegas. It was the second annual BeadAway, organized by Brea Bead Works. The drive was an all-day event, about 10 hours including a stop for lunch in Bakersfield. We ate at the 24th Street Cafe,. After Cin...

Knit and Bead Times. Adventures in travel, knitting, beading, and retirement. Friday, July 15, 2011. Finding My Father's Family. Dateline: Emerald Hills, 7/15/11. I immediately started asking myself the logical next questions: Was his German wife still alive? Did they have any children, who would be my half siblings? And how would I ever find out the answers from 6000 miles away, and without speaking much German? Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Emerald Hills, CA, United States.

Park and ride at 280 and Edgewood. Jocelyn picked me up and we headed to Burlingame. Bought: 3 skeins of Laines du Nord Mulberry Silk. 11:15 - San Mateo. All of us liked Nine Rubies' one-skein project, a beaded purse in both knit and crochet. The pattern came with a 10% discount at The Beading Frenzy. At Creative Hands, I receiv...

Knit and Bead Times. Adventures in travel, knitting, beading, and retirement. Tuesday, September 22, 2009. Walking in New York. Dateline: New York, 7/16/09 - 7/28/09. When I'm in New York, I usually don't gain weight even though I eat more than usual, because of all the walking I do. While we were there, an article in the New York Times. At home I would never set off on a 3-mile walk; my usual walking loops through the hills are 1 mile and 1.5 miles. But one day I used Gmaps Pedometer. Links to this post.

Knit and Bead Times. Adventures in travel, knitting, beading, and retirement. Tuesday, July 29, 2008. Dateline: Stockton, 7/11/08; Petaluma and San Rafael, 7/19/08. Whose sign we happened to see on the way into town. There we heard that there was another bead store in town, so of course we made an unscheduled stop at Beads Plus. The excuse for the knitting trip was to go to the Muench Yarns. After lunch we headed south to San Rafael, where we stopped at two more yarn stores, Dharma Trading Co. Although I...

Knit and Bead Times. Adventures in travel, knitting, beading, and retirement. Friday, November 6, 2009. Better Late Than Never: Yellowstone/Teton Highlights. Dateline: The Western U.S., 8/20/09 - 9/1/09. Our first stop in Yellowstone was to see some of the geysers, one of the many features that make the park unique. The next day, we saw two eruptions of Old Faithful, the most famous geyser of all. We heard that 90% of visitors to Yellowstone never get out of their cars, much less take a hike like this.

He was born the same day as the state of Israel, May 14, 1948. I was born one year and two months later. We spent a lot of our early childhood together.
