A post which I cannot find a creative title for

I had fun putting the floral-y designs along the side. I love the vintage-y look of this photo! I also love my headband. :)

Because...I don't really have a reason for this picture.

Isn't she just the cutest thing?

I am entering this photo in Kelsey's Photo Contest.

And now, to leave you with a quote from Emma:

"Whom are you going to dance with?" asked Mr, Knightley.

She [Emma] hesitated a moment, and then replied, "With you, if you will ask me."

"Will you?" said he, offering his hand.

"Indeed I will. You have shown that you can dance, and you know we are not really so much brother and sister as to make it at all improper."

"Brother and sister! no, indeed."

I don't really know why I like that quote, but I do.  Maybe because at that point Mr. Knightley loves Emma, but she doesn't realize that she loves him yet. :)

Do you have any favorite quotes from any books?

I hope you all have a good day!

What I've been up to

I thought I would share with you just a couple things that I have been doing lately.

First, the other day I went out and took some pictures. It's hard sometimes to take pictures this time of year because the flower are mostly dead (question: does anyone know where that phrase comes from?) and there is less color outside. However, with some thought, there are many things to take pictures of. 

Including this...I don't really know what it is, but it I think it looks cool.

My sister, Lydia, grew squash and tomatoes this year. The photo below is a squash flower-thing still in her garden.

My latest knitting project is a scarf. Yes, that hole is supposed to be there. :) You can go see a finished one here. I love the yarn! It is just soo soft! I was knitting this scarf in my school library while reading. The librarian waled by and commented on it and said that she knit, too. :) Later, a girl saw it in my bag and pulled it out to look at it. She pointed to the hole and said "You missed a spot here." I had to explain that it was supposed to be there. :)

Oh, and the book I was reading in the library while knitting? Emma by Jane Austen. I love this book!!!!!! I have seen the BBC miniseries Emma and love it, so I decided that I should read the book. :) I already wanted to, though. It is pretty funny and sweet. I'll let you know when I finish it.

And now, enough about me!

What have you been doing lately?
