Cozy

The snow has been falling already and winter is knocking on the door. Time to batten down the hatches and stay inside where it's cozy and warm. And to knit. And light a candle. There's nothing like the nice warm glow of a candle in a room. Here's my newest one. It smells sooooooooo good!

My daughter bought me that candle at Cabela's. I just love it! Target had flannel sheets on sale. I treated myself to a new set. $15.99 for any size, what a deal! I love these.

Nice and cozy.

I wish I had this view out my front window. So cozy to be warm inside and seeing the snow fall, with nowhere to go.

But that's not the view I get. Someday.

It's been so cold I made a nice pot of minnestrone soup yesterday. So yummy! My sister gave me the recipe. It made a ton. I'm going to have to freeze some.

Very delicious!

I also treated myself and bought another Ravelry t-shirt. The other one I got is so so so comfy, had to get another one out of the new batch they just got in. I just love that dog!

The following is not cozy:

I do not want to wear a partially knitted sock with DPNs sticking out of it. Definitely not comfy cozy!

Time to go hit the couch with the yarn and the knitting needles and cozy up for the night with my kitties surrounding me.

Yay, it's the weekend!

I'm soooooooooo glad it's Friday and the weekend is here! Next week I'm taking Friday off and will have a nice long weekend.

I've been working on my fair isle hat. Really fun! I like this technique. I've made some progress and you can see it this time.

What do you think? I'm loving it!

I heard that knitting bags were on clearance at Michaels. I finally got there today and they had some left. Yay! I got one, and I just love it. Can't wait to fill it up. Half price too! $11.99. Not bad at all.

I see a cat was walking by as I snapped the picture. See the kitty tail? LOL! Oh my funny cats!

It's supposed to be a rainy dreary weekend. Good one to stay inside and knit. And make soup! I bought a cute little soup pot the other day. It's a 3 quart and I just love it. The perfect size for me.

Time to go browse the cookbooks and see what kind of soup recipe calls out to be made.

Fall is in the Air

The leaves are changing colors. Mother Nature is showing off all the beautiful colors of fall. My trees have just started to change. No pictures to show yet. I bought this cute little centerpiece from Avon. I can keep it out all fall long, until Thanksgiving. I love the fiber optic light in it!

It's that time of year for comfort foods, soups, stews. I got some cookbooks out from the library that I've been drooling over. I think I may go out and buy a nice soup pot today. I bought this wreath for my door at Joann's. They had a fantastic sale on fall wreaths last weekend. I just love it!

I'll put it on the door after Halloween when I take the witch down.

The two-color knitting class that I'm taking has started. Talk about feeling like I'm all thumbs, lol! But now that I'm getting the hang of it, my fingers aren't so fumbly. I'm enjoying this!

That's my homework. We are to get the first 7 rows of ribbing done and next week we start on the tam body. Fun fun fun! It was a real enjoyable evening, and I look forward to the next session.
