This winter had been pretty mild for us, until the other morning (early). We had some snow accumulation on Sunday but just enough to freeze over night and make the roads difficult. Nothing too exciting on Monday. But, last night (early morning) it started snowing. Schools were closed today, they are advising to stay off the roads, and saying that if you have to go out, take supplies with you (shovel, snow tires, food, water, etc).
When it comes to snow, I have mixed feelings. I love watching it snow. I love seeing the trees dusted with the white powder. While it is actually snowing, I can be caught looking dreamily out across the field, lost in my own world. However, when there's nothing left but the cold, that's when I daydream about being on some sandy beach with palm trees nearby. Yup, I don't 'do' the cold. We've never agreed and that's why you can usually find me wrapped up in a blanket and knitting on chilly days/nights.
Which is exactly what I intend to do today. Grab one of my favorite blankets, my knitting, and as the snow continues to fall all around us, I'll be cuddled up with my little Charley girl knitting the day away <3
Have a Happy Tuesday, wherever you are and whatever you're doing today
Monday! Time to kick off a brand new week =) New items to get started this week. My hope is to have them done and posted by the weekend. Stay tuned ....
Also, taking suggestions/ideas about a Valentine's Day Give-Away (Sunday's blog entry). What would make a good PRIZE for someone to win?
Another day full of knitting is in store. I made great progress in the most recent order and am happy to say that it is almost complete after only 1 day. And I even took a house cleaning break. It is not my largest order to date, but is nowhere near being my smallest order. Next on my "things to make" list is a pair of yoga socks. I can't wait to get started and to get photos up. But, before I can start anything on my "things to make" list, I need to get orders completed. Three more scarves and it's on to new things ;)
I organized my yarn yesterday and sorted through my made items. I decided it was time to update my Etsy account with some of my newer items. It's easier, for some people, to order that way. Thanks for the feedback, folks. I do appreciate it. Now, on to make some new/more items! =) Suggestions? Ideas? Requests? Let me know . . . .
So, I've completed two new projects last night. Baby finger-less mitts and a "little one" washcloth. I think they turned out awesome! I also received a bunch of yarn and knitting accessories in the mail yesterday afternoon (a Christmas present from ma mère). I've posted photos of the finished projects on my FaceBook page (follow the link on the Home page to check it out). I can't wait to make more of both! =)
