Spring and Sunshine

Just finished a toddler sweater for my granddaughter who will be four next month. I see a few mistakes but it is a bright yellow spring color and I take pleasure thinking of her wearing it.

I bought the yarn at Stitches West last month in Santa Clara, which was a delightful part of my visit to California.

Warm California Sun

My recent trip to California was blessed with perfect weather. A visit to San Francisco included a stop at the de Young Museum which was having an exhibit of Dutch Masters. In the spotlight was the famous "Girl with a Pearl Earring." No photos allowed. Visiting with friends, we took some time to ride up to the tower at the de Young and enjoyed the spectacular view of the city.

The de Young has a fabulous collection and the museum on the Sunday we were there was crowded with art lovers but you know museum crowds seem to be a gracious group, so it is easy to enjoy.

Next stop was lunch at a unique restaurant in Golden Gate Park overlooking the Pacific Ocean.This was my first visit to the Beach Chalet and 

 the grand murals inside done by the WPA in the 1930's are a must see attraction. Sorry I didn't take a photo of the view of the Pacific from the upstairs dining area.
