Hiking, Apple Picking and Last Day Adventures in the Berkshires

A much delayed post... Part III of the Berkshires...


On our last day of our mini vacation in the Berkshires, we stuck around the area for most of the day. We went apple picking and picked I think a half bushel - we were eating pie and crisp for so long after that! - and bought baby pumpkins and cider donuts. They were so good!

We also went hiking up to Laura's Tower. The hike itself was good, though it was an awkward fall day in between warm and chilly. Laura's Tower was quite tall, but of course necessary after all that hiking!




More pics behind the cut...

























Laura's Tower. Not actually that steep!


An awesome view! We could even see an old Vanderbilt mansion from up there.

Fall 2011 Adventures, Incidents, and Happenings II

My roommate being a rocket ship while wearing the unfinished Rococo circuitboard dress.

An example of a twill I was weaving at work

One day I covered my nails in glitter. Definitely fun, but I put on four layers of top coat and it chunked off strangely. Very sparkly.

A fascinator from last summer... finally took a decent picture of it to enter into the holiday sale.

Another example of awesome MassArt graffiti.

Listening for aliens!

Living with animators is always interesting, especially when sound recording and videotaping for projects in the backyard.

Texere: A Fibers Show

Texere: A Fibers Show was back in November, and it was another great fibers department show here at MassArt!


I made oreo stuffed chocolate chip cookies for the reception. I don't know if I'd make them again, they were definitely a novelty. The recipe is here, but I just bought pre-made dough and wrapped them around the oreos.
