Astoria Goonies weekend

We had a great time recreating scenes from The Goonies during our weekend trip to Astoria with the Davis family. The kids patiently went along with all of the stops though the posing got a bit silly.
This is the jail from the opening scene when one of the Fratelli brother's escapes.


Here is the Goonies house. The owners are VERY nice to welcome visitors on foot - and the view is amazing from up here.


We also hit the Maritime Museum where the kids could run around a real ship . . . . we loved the whole weekend.

children of the corn . . . er, pumpkin patch

I love this kids! They had the best time and so did we! Marfie did a great job finding a good old-fashioned farm for our pumpkin picking.

fall knitting projects

So, so happy to have wrapped up Em's swing coat and E's matching hat. I fell in love with this jacket from the Mason-Dixon knitting book - the same one I found the Emma Peel dress in.




I used KnitPicks yarn, repurposed three buttons from an old shirt of mine, and embroidered the sweet little ferns freehand. I made E a sort-of matching hat and I am also making one for Tall House Double Cup.
Em loves it - yea!
