Resolutions
So one of my resolutions for 2012 (which is not really anything to do with the New Year... more to do with knowing that I will be moving soon and needing to get my affairs in order) is to finish up some project.... So finishing up I have! Both of these have been WIPs (Works in Progress) for more than 6 months and this weekend I finished them!
Cleopatra Tsocks
Complete with headress, asp, and papyrus! These will go to Branwen for luck on midterms
Oh and I am learning how to spin on a drop spindle :)

Christmas in Hawaii: Day 3 - Volcano National Park
A wet day at Volcano National Park, but still many sights to be seen and an amazing time was had.
Sulfur banks - They'll burn if you get too close, but otherwise make beautiful crystals and, well, you know how sulfur smells.
After emerging from the Thurston Lava tube, we were greeted with a muddy path and a drizzling rain.
Out on the lava fields the wind was howling and the rain was blasting sideways.
Which resulted in an incredibly clear rainbow that seemed to touch the ground only meters away.
What else would one like to find at the end of the rainbow?
Near the shore, looking back, the old lava flows can be seen, with just a hint of the rainbow remaining.

Christmas in Hawaii: Day 1 and 2
After arriving in Kona, we stopped at a Coffee plantation and this was the view.
Nearly the same view, just not looking into the sun.
The view from the back of our B&B.
Geckos abound!
The view from the front of our B&B.
At the Luau, the classic palm tree silhouette.
Dinner was accompanied by traditional hula and Polynesian dance.
Cute little raku turtles.
