Nothing in Particular

I didn't do much knitting last week, because, well, you know. That and I've been busy working on refreshing the look of my domain. I need something to fatten my portfolio, and it's slowly coming together. I'm hoping that I can get it all up by end of week. Right now my dilemma is whether to display links for pages that I don't quite have in place yet due to lack of content. I'm trying to decide whether to put in a place holder page with something like "coming soon", or just to comment out the links in the navbar. These "coming soon" pages really irritate me because these stick out like a sore thumb. Looks like I should just pretend that I'm a visitor, and duly comment out these links, no?

Last Saturday Hubby, G and I went to the Greek festival at Annunciation Cathedral. As always, a good show and the weather cooperated by being nice and warm, just how I like it. Perfect for celebrating my birthday. When I wandered into one of the rooms open to the public, I saw this costume. I forgot to make a note of which part of Greece this came from. But, isn't it beautiful? I wonder what it must have been like for the owner of this dress to leave her native country for the unknown. She would have had to put it away carefully, because it would have been very backward to walk around like this here in the United States during the turn of the century (no matter that Americans don't really have a colorful native costume . . . the closest one comes to are the cowboy costumes, and the Native American costumes, which of course, is politically incorrect to be worn by anyone not of Native American descent).

I'd like to replicate this as accurately as I can someday. There's something missing . . . knitted socks. I can only imagine what these socks would have looked like.
