Bangkok Farmers Market

Bangkok Farmers Market has been going for a while now.  It is based at K Village, behind Big C on Rama IV.

Kim's Got Me Beat, But.....

 OK, I must admit that I haven't seen any outdoor Christmas displays going up around town, but by the looks of Target (above), Home Depot and JoAnn's, (below) Christmas is right around the corner - like next week!

Christmas Comes Early To Bangkok

Good grief, is it that time already?  The Christmas tree is being constructed outside Central World this week.  I also spotted several Christmas tree cardboard cutouts as display items in there.  Yikes, best get shopping!  I have to admit to hearing a Christmas song a few weeks ago, but as it was at one of those concession stands in Emporium, where they sell ghastly musac, I assumed that they just didn't realise that it was Christmas music (er musac), but now I am not so sure.  Happy Long-Draw-Out Holidays!!!

Another This and That Post:

 As you all know by now, we live in the foothills north of SL overlooking  Antelope Island and the Great Lake.  While I have gotten used to the amazing sunsets we get here (below), one morning I got up to see the moonset, above.  It was a full moon, huge and so amazing hanging over the island that I had to run and get my Coolpix from my purse.  I was able to get a few shots before it vanished behind the island. 

Finally, back to Quilting

 

 While I seem to be quilting all the time, little seems to be getting finished.  I completed a couple of baby quilts that went off to the up coming Festival of Trees for a local children's hospital charity, but very little else.  I did, however, just finish the piece above (last night) and am working on the hexagon quilt below.  Kim I really am doing my quilting and now that I am finished making 300 paper covered books for my quilt group next year, I am back to the machine.



The top one was really fun to do.  It measures 14 1/2 by 17 inches.  I used English paper piecing for the hexagons using left over Japanese fabric from another project I need to quilt (!) and tacked it to a quilt sandwich I machine quilted a grid on.  It worked out pretty much as I had hoped.  The one on the right is a work in progress, but my thinking is that it will look wonderful on a little girl's twin bed.  Now I just have to figure out which little girl.  I have a feeling that there will be three more in my future.

Brighton Ski Resort

 

 From these photos you wouldn't suspect that the ski season is right around the corner, but winter is on it's way.  We have a number of fantastic ski resorts up the canyons from Salt Lake City and Roger's favorite one is Brighton at the top of Big Cottonwood Canyon. 

Home Leave to the UK & France

So, this is our new house, shown from the lake.
