Good morning, Monday even if I'm not ready for you...
Hope all of you have had a productive weekend.
Right now, I'm enjoying...
Seeing the bright cheery color of a new knitted project...
Gobbling up a make-shift lunch. A favorite around here...a little cheese, black beans, green chilies atop corn tortillas, broiled for a minute or so then topped with avocado, salsa, sour cream and black olives!
Thinking how this month's calendar page was fitting for our home improvement project ~ a little 'destruction' in order to rebuild ~ Not sure if that was the artist's intent, but that's one interpretation. (I'll share some more progress soon)...
Liking a not-so-little spool (1/2 lb!) of red & white baker's twine that arrived in the mail a few weeks ago...
Embarking on a new little hopefully life-long 'project' for this year. Will share later. Stay tuned...
Wondering if I should make something with these or simply look at them. Like jewels. And wondering if I'm not alone in that line of thinking... (tell me I'm not alone)
Hoping that winter's weather will be more consistent and settle into a rhythm again. Perhaps a little snow, please?
What are you enjoying today?
No, you are not alone, the yarn is very lovely. I am suppose to be doing the stash challenge, but would you mind sharing where you purchased those?
I was glad to see I am not the only one who gets excited about a spool of baker's twine. I received mine right before the holiday's and it is still on the counter top! :)
PS- thanks for the comment the other day, the picture is marsh grass behind my home.

I could definitely just look (and touch) that yarn instead of knitting it into something.
I am wishing for some snow myself.

I still have a ball of yarn on my desk that I bought last summer because it's so lovely I know I have to make the most wonderful thing with it, and I just can't decide what.

Such a lovely set of pictures :)
And you are definitely not alone at thinking yarn can be as good to look at as to work with. There are times when just getting out my stash, reorganising it and putting it back feels like a craft project all on its own!

You are certainly not alone in just staring at yarn. I'm very guilty of that. Our foreign exchange student arrived yesterday and I was trying to "see" my house through his eyes. He's definitely thinking I have a fabric/yarn problem.

I love looking at yarn before knitting it up. I have a basket full that I look at while I knit.

You are certainly not alone. :)

Oh, what are you knitting with the red? Don't worry, I have lots of yarn that is just simply eye candy :) I'm kind of enjoying this balmy January weather, although looking forward to the first good snow!
