We have had some wild weather here over the last week and last night was supposed to bring us more snow to 300m overnight but even though I woke to a chilly morning, the expected high winds, frost and low lying snow didn't eventuate. Still, it was cold enough to light the fire quite early.
And with that, I decided the best way to stay warm was to either plonk myself infront of said fire or keep busy. Since there was something I was itching to get done in the Kitchen @Home, I did that first and finally I got to the stage where I could make a toasted sandwich and relax in front of the fire while catching up on some blogs.
Apart from a hearty soup, there is nothing I like more than a toasted Cheese and Tomato sandwich on a cold & chilly day......mmmmmm......and it seems Callie has the same idea since she just sat and stared at my sandwich longingly with those big brown eyes!
With lunch out of the way, I sat in my favourite chair in the corner by the window and only a couple of feet from the warm fire......ready to carry on with my crochet. I have achieved quite a bit this week, finishing of this tall pile of squares ready to add to my daisy blanket (all two rows of it!). I am finding that as I go on, my tension is becoming much better and I am also getting faster.
Now don't forget that tomorrow is Friday Night Stitch In. I have signed up, have you? Not sure what I will be working on......could be the Daisy Blanket or some stitchery......you will just have to wait and see but in the meantime, why don't you pop over to cath@home for a sticky beak!
I need to throw another log on the fire so hooroo.....till tomorrow!
Your crocheted blocks look lovely, Cath. I find Molly looks at me like that when I'm eating too!
ReplyDeleteI remember my first winter in Tassie, It was so cold, I thought I'd never get warm til Hubby bought us an electric blanket. There is nothing better than a nice fire to warm you up. Your crochet project is absolutely beautiful, its so pretty Cath. Enjoy.
