It is either cold...and I mean cold, or there is snow, and more snow. As pretty as it can be, and I do like winter, enough all ready!! But one looks for the best in EVERY season. Surrounding yourself with "warm" things of color and textures helps alot. I have two of these, found at a yard sale quite a while ago. Throws that make a perfect tablecloth!
Love the colors against the black background. Makes me want to make granny squares, which I like to do, I just hate putting them together!
This is the finished cardigan that went to my youngest granddaughter for Christmas, cute, 2007 was the coming out of the "knitted" scarves and hand warmers closet! Still love those things. But I have moved to sweaters, cardigans, stitching charts...... This year I will continue to challenge myself in the knitted clothing category.
I have many projects of the moment going. A tea cozy or 2, one is for a swap I am in...Lisa it's coming!
A chevron scarf is in the works, I tend to like mine long so that I can wrap around or "tie". It's growing!
I found this cup cozy pattern on line. It is adorable, and it really keeps your tea or coffee to temperature longer.
I have four made so far, decided to take a break from them a work on chevron scarf some more!
I will have better pictures later, I don't want everything clear yet.....
Here is a part of a "surprise", for someone.
I always say I do too many things, and I enjoy them all, many different mediums. Quilting is in there too. This is a quilt that my daughter, Angie and I did for her son, Carsen. He now uses it on his...queen crib...has he call it. A combination of his Mom hearing queen for there bed and that is big to him and his crib, that he so was ready to get out of...his Mom said he just one day said crib out.... and started pulling at it to go out of the room. Kids they are smarter at knowing what isn't time for than we realize!
To finish, this is the other granny square throw, a variegated yarn was used in this one. I really like the effect it gives to the design! This one is on my other table!
I can't remember if it was in Mary Engelbreit's Home Companion or in Country Living, but a couple of years ago one of their articles featured one of these black/colored granny square afghans and ever since then, I've been totally drawn to them! I just love the contrast of the colors with the black borders. I love that one with the variegated thread! Pretty. :)

It's all so pretty! JZ told me about the mug cozies, which I think are adorable. Yours are so lovely! I love the quilt, too. You will have to give me a tutorial as I am also interested in quilting as of late (go figure, right?) :-)
