Sweet corn

I did this story a while ago for ELLE Interior.
Just love fresh corn.I went out to a great big corn field to pick it.
They also had a big BBQ pit where you could grill your corn there and then.
Freshly grilled corn with some herb butter...wow!
Life is good!

A great time!

I had such a great time in LA, it was short but sweet.
A big thank you to all of you who gave me tips.
Abbot Kinney was really cool and I loved Bountiful. Beautiful, but so expensive.
But the best of all was that I learned to knit while being in LA.
YES, you read it right!
A friend of Otis, the wonderful Lori teaches a knitting class at Wildfiber in Santa Monica.
So I spent many hours saturday knitting in a big group of great people.
And Im proud to say that I was knitting all the way to New York.
Did I get looks?
Yes I did, but hey....Im man enough to take it!
My first project will be a scarf with unexpected buttonholes and strange stripes I didn't plan for.
But it will be 100% made by Paul.
Will keep you posted on the progress.
Again, thank you Lori!
