A Cold Winter's Day

Once again
it is a 
Cold Winter's Day.
There's about a foot of snow on the ground
and the temperature is only 5 degrees.
So I have spent part of the day
sitting in my kitchen,
by a sunny window,
knitting a stack of 
heart shaped cloths
and
enjoying a supply of new books,
along with a nice pot of tea.

Since my last post
I have made a couple more cupcakes as well.
I gifted them to my 
Monday night
Knit Night Girls
and they loved them!
I am so thankful I have plenty of yarn on hand
and a good supply of patterns.
It sure helps me get through a long Winter.

Phoebe,
 on the other hand,
prefers a 
Long Winter's 
NAP!

    1. Hello Sweet Sarah!
      Thanks! I love these darn cupcakes too!
      Just so much fun to create each one :)))
      And I always love hearts. I have more to show in my next post.
      Phoebe is always a real dandy, trust me. She keeps us laughing. She's a big baby who loves everyone who comes in and she does the most comical things all day :)
      Love to you,

  4. It's funny how the dogs seem to know how to get cozy when the weather is bad. Looks like a lot of productive knitting going on over there. Have fun!

    1. Hey Kar!
      Phoebe is something else ~ all the time~ believe me!
      You would be the only one of my blog friends to remember her as a puppy when I showed pics of her on my old blog.
      She's been very unique right from the start.
      Trust me, I am trying real hard to hide from this cold!!!
      Come on Spring!!!!!!
      The cupcakes have been a lot of fun to create :)))

  7. Hee-hee-hee! That's a hilarious pic of Phoebe. Wish I could come sit at your table and finally learn to knit. Love the hearts. I crocheted some hearts this evening too. It's that time of year!
