Getting Ready for Snow!

Last night Mr80grit when out after I got home from work and had two new front tires put on my car in preparation of the storm coming this weekend. All the weather outlets are saying that we might get snow in the valley tonight. I wanted it to snow but I would rather be on a day that I don't have to get up early the next morning as we go out for hot chocolate on the first major storm. But maybe it won't really hit hard until later. We have been known here in Salt Lake to trick or treat through the snow.

Friday's Finished Object

I finished this last night! I like the pooling of color. I really like the yarn.

The colors reminded me of toasting marshmallows over the campfire. I always caught them on fire so they were black, white and toasted brown.

Pictures of China and Fergie...no words too tired

Another Autumn Day

Today was another gorgeous day, not too hot. Mr80grit got some yard work done in the thimble size backyard we have. I was trying to post another picture from our weekend but blogger didn't want to do it, so another day. We are suppose to get a pretty big storm this weekend. Rain in the valley with heavy snowstorm in the mountains. I am ready! But I will have to view it from the valley as I work this weekend. There will be more storms so I can handle not chasing this one!

Monday Musings

I really don't like Mondays that I work. So I am just going to reflect on what a Wonderful day yesterday and enjoy some of God's workmanship!

Just 20 mins from home.

This afternoon the rain stopped and the sun came out, so Mr80grit and I went for a drive, just 20 minutes from home up Big Cottonwood canyon we saw some beautiful sites. Colors of fall with winter. I love this time of year. I enjoy living in Utah for its seasons we have all four to enjoy!









By the way, I swear I can smell Christmas coming.....

Rainy Day at the Fiber Arts Fair

Well it looks Autumn finally hit today, after high 80's all week the rain came this morning and really hasn't let up since. Which is great because I love that kind of fall weather, but today was the Great Basin Fiber Art Fair.

Mr80grit and my mom brave the weather and enjoyed the booths, from the look of the alpacas the weather wasn't too bad. But then again they have nice warm 'coats' on. I got some great fiber on this trip to Wheeler Farm. The farm is about 5-7 minutes from our home.



After a wonderful lunch at our favorite restaurant, Stella's Grill. Mr80grit and I headed to our favorite LYS to finish the got to have yarn for no reason. We meet up with fellow Ravelry friends to have fun knitting, talking and staying warm and dry.

Tomorrow Mr80grit and I plan to go chase the snow and some autumn colors. When we have sunshine I will take pictures of my wonderful purchases.
