cold weather = wonderful!


Its finally scarf weather, and Im gearing up to start making some new ones! I made the trip to my local yarn store the other day and bought some really nice pale green alpaca yarn that Ive already started working with, and love! This year Im attempting something Ive never done before - Im going to try my hand at making fleece scarves with fun monster designs or something stiched onto them. Hopefully they turn out! Im also thinking about gathering up old wool sweaters and felting them ( wash in really hot water and then dry at the hottest setting ) to make mittens.

On the horizon is a trip to buy pumpkins, making pumpkin pie/soup/bread... obviously Im a big fan of all things pumpkin.... especially Graeters pumpkin icecream which Ive eaten two night in a row now.

To date this fall has been wonderful, amazing things have been happening and I feel like Im exactly where Im meant to be! Life is good!
