Expo, knitting and books

Yesterday we went to the Model Expo / Pet Expo.

We saw railway and other models, dogs, bunnies, Celtic silver jewelry,

some hand made things. We've usually visited on Sunday and there

seemed to be more people now on Saturday.

I found these ceramic magnets. Too cute!

I finally have pics of my latest knitting project.

Mirja is modelling.

This is what I've been reading:

Bayou Moon is the second novel in the Edge series. Not as good as the Kate Daniels novels but an enjoyable read. Magic, romance and lots of action as the heroine must trust a stranger if she wants to find out what happened to her parents and save the rest of her clan.

Heaven's Spite is the fifth novel about Jill Kismet, a hunter whose job is to keep her city safe from hellbreed and other things that go bump in the night. She has to bring out even bigger guns than normal when her mate and her apprentice are kidnapped. She's forced to seek help from someone who really can't be trusted and of course the ending isn't happy.

This Side of the Grave is the fifth novel about Cat and Bones. They have to solve the mystery of the disappearing vampires, avoid a war between vampires and ghouls and learn to live with Cat's new abilities.

Fast paced, action filled and fun! 

Blood Wyne is the ninth novel about the three D'Artigo sisters, who are half-human, half-Fae. This time around they are after a vampire serial killer and have to get rid of some angry ghosts. A very entertaining mix of action, magic and passion.

Sunny cold Saturday

We had a fabulous cold Saturday morning. It was so pretty while it lasted!

I went shopping with Ronja while Mirja had swimming-school. She also wanted to see the Buddy Bears.

 

Here's Ronja with Buddy Bear Finland.

 

My husband's interested in model railways. This weekend there was a model railway happening and of course we had to go there.

My favorite was this model with lights and autumn colors. They'd even found a darker corner for it and it was really pretty! The details were amazing!

Flowers and pets

We girls were out walking on Saturday. It was quite cold and windy. We even got some snow on Friday. There's still water everywhere. You can usually walk where they're canoeing in this picture!

On Sunday we went to the Pet Expo. There were lots of cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, rats, mice and other small animals. We stood admiring the dogs and their trainers on the agility track for a while. The dogs really seemed to enjoy it! We don't have any pets right now, but we had dogs when I was little and I've had a guinea pig, budgies, fish and chinchillas. Sometimes I really miss having a pet.

There was also a Model Expo. I love looking at the train models with all their small details. Like these cows, they're really small and they're all hand painted and they look so real. Imagine how many hours it has taken to build this model! My husband bought some supplies for his project too.
