Honestly, if I didn't have to leave the house to go to work, I don't think I would go anywhere this time of year!! I am so content to sit at home by the fire and spend the day crafting..or cooking...even cleaning!!! I know..weird!!! But, I do love to be home!! I have had such a surge of inspiration lately that I have quite a few projects going on...I like it that way though, because when I get tired of one thing I move onto the next!! Keeps me busy, and happy during these bleak wintry days...
I finished up my Parson Brown Cowl! Sorry for the horrible lighting..the yarn is so pretty in such warm colors! I am SO lucky to have my friend Pam live right around the corner from me!!! We met through our boys, who are great friends, and Pam and I instantly bonded over our love of all things crafty!!! Lucky for me, she is a super talented knitter, and over this past year, she has graciously taught me to knit! I am finally able to say...I AM REALLY understanding it!!! It has been the hardest craft for me to learn..but, know that I am able to KNIT...I LOVE IT:)))) Yesterday, I cast on for the Shalom Cardigan..It is my FIRST sweater, and I am very excited about it...So far, so good:)
The textures of the stitches feel so nice!!!! The yarn is incredibly soft too..it is a extra soft wool blend from Martha Stewart that I bought at Michael's... In other stitchy news, I also started my very FIRST embroidery sampler....
I purchased it here... I LOVE all of Charlotte Lyon's work!!! She also has a lovely blog that is just beautiful!!! I enjoy it very much!! I am still stitching away on my "Scrappy Trip Along"...So, as you can see, I am busy as a bee:) and loving it!!!! I also won my VERY FIRST BLOG GIVEAWAY!!!! I am beyond excited...Right here!!! I almost fainted when I saw my name:) If you have never visited Margie at her AMAZING blog Resurrection Fern..You really should pay her a visit..her pictures will take your breath away!!! I am so happy to have found her through Flickr..She is an amazing artist, unbelievable photographer, and just the sweetest lady!!
Well...Leaving you with a couple images of the OUTDOORS from this week:) I DO go outside sometimes:))))
Beautiful sunrise this morning..and of course, I love the birds at my feeders:) Lake effect snow forcasted for the AM!! See you soon...
Love all your crafty projects. You're knitting a sweater-wow!!! Love your birdie pics, of course. I can't get pretty pics of our doves, but you did! What a beautiful sunrise!
I can stay home for days at time-I'm a major homebody too. We have so much in common. (Of course, you already knew that.)
Happy you won Margie's giveaway!
XO,
Holly

I love you embroidery project, I've never heard of her and had to jump on over to her Etsy shop to check it out. The photo of the bird is amazing! I am a sucker for a bird and he is beautiful. Congratulations on your win.
