A wintery theme?

What you see here is a picture of my Christmas decor
for the staff holiday party. I did not plan to participate,
but once I got into it, I had fun with it.

Not sure if this shot captures the feel or sense of wonder
that I felt, but it was meant to provide the sense
of wonder that winter brings and the joy that is
felt when a couple goes ice skating on the pond; when families gather and sing carols, or when kids build snowmen in front of their homes. Winter.

That pales of course, in comparison with what I believe Christmas is all about.

That, my friends will be saved for tomorrow's post. Wintertime is fun, but Christmas is about life, love and purpose.

Be safe and be blessed.

'Tis the season

After knittying the last multi-directional scarf from Noro, I wondered what other yarns would work, so I pulled out this cool merino wool from La Lana Grossa called "bingo." This yarn is super soft! It is squishy and springy and just downright fun to knit. I hope to get this one out to my cousin. I thought I would upgrade him from the last scarf I knit (an awful synthetic) . . .though he actually said his friends raved over it (I was shocked) . . .

I have another (yes a third) scarf that I will show off soon. until then. . . enjoy.

Here's a little wee one. . .

I felt like it was high time to share a photo or two of a dog since I am usually only sharing photos of my pet:

Yes, she is licking out her tongue as if to say, "hey buddy, you are not the boss of me!"

. . .her name is "pee wee."

It should be "speed racer."

As you can see, she is not easy to keep up with. . .
