My week in reverse....only because I must share this with you.
I found my new favorite wine label. I know you all do it, go to the liquor store to find a bottle of wine, go to the section with the kind of wines you love, and there you are staring at a plethora of bottles from different areas and regions. How does one choose? Maybe you are quite the wine expert and look for ingredients, year of vintage, alcohol content, or maybe you look at the price, not too high or not too low. Or maybe you are like me.....ummmm.....which one has the prettiest, funkiest, artistic label that I want to bring home. Last night we found ourselves in the Fenway area of Boston (not by accident, it was planned) and I took my husband to the new City Target and low and behold, they have a wine and spirits department. Target and Alcohol, life doesn't get any better than that! Now you really can get everything you need, and really don't need but its there, all in one place.
While perusing the aisle my husband came over with a bottle of wine we have never seen. Middle Sister Wine. I have never had it, nor did we buy any because we had to carry it on the train, but the labels are perfect.
City Target, although probably the best Target store I have every been in, was not the reason for the trip to Boston, though I have been known to do things like that.The purpose of last night's outing was to spend a wonderful night in the Fenway district of Boston as part of Art Hub Boston 2015.
The Green Monster, the big outfield wall at Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, was transformed into a big percussion instrument. Landsdowne Street was a light/sound show street fair.There was lots to see and do, but honestly, the lines were long for some of the exhibits, so we just walked along and took in what was happening in the open. As you walked down Landsdowne Street you were walking behind the Green Monster. People were up on the metal girders with big drum sticks, striking the steel beams to a beat and tune. Lights were flashing music playing, colors and sound all came together in this brilliant display. There was excitement and fun as people just walked around not knowing what to look at. I am still in great awe of such creative thinkers, to transform a giant building into a drum set, essentially. The front of a Souvenir shop was made to look like a Circus Tent. Dinner was at Boston Beer Works where of course I had to order the Pumpkin Works Beer. Boston, thank you for another night of free entertainment. I may be a little biased as I do live here but honestly, you are the best city.
I started this blog again to be able to share my creative side with all of you. I do feel getting out into the world is a form of opening yourself up to inspiration from all around you, but guess what, I am still making things, cooking, reading and all the things I love to do which was the reason for the blog.
So what have I been up to with the rest of my life?
I am loving my homemade Fauxdori planner. I made my October insert and spent some time decorating the pages. Here are some of the planner spreads:
This is my Month on Two Pages: October is in full swing. I really like my monthly decorations. My first week is completed. Some writing and a few doodles, stickers and washi tape. 
I read a great book last week and if you have pre-teen or teenagers I would highly recommend it to them as well. It was a Young Adult book that I found while looking for audiobooks from the library downloads. I listened to the first half last weekend and finished it at work on Monday.

.I am still knitting along. I've got 4 active WIPs not to mention the many more all around the house in various stages. I finally put in the rip cord in the second sock for the first pair of Afterthought socks I am doing. My goal is to have them done and ready to display on next weeks post.
Until then: The quote of the week (stolen from a wine bottle label)
True wisdom is knowing when to give up and have a glass of wine.
