Sunny Day

The sun is out and I used up the rest of my Michaels gift cards on double point needles...
*happiness* :)

Borrowed

The library is basically the best thing ever invented. How good is it to come home after a long day of work and errands with a pile of books to look through and get inspired? It's bliss. I need to finish the projects I'm working on so I can make some of these.
I'm also smitten with these elephants on The Purl Bee. I have the book for the knitted one on hold at the library and I think I have the pattern for the sewn one. Seriously. SO cute.

Happiness....

...is this amazing hand dyed wool....

Happiness is what I feel from the name of this hand dyed wool:

Happiness is me staring at the wool...and touching the wool....

Happiness is what I'm going to make out of the hand dyed wool:

Happiness is also drawing eyes. :) I've been practicing eyes like mad and I think I might be getting a little better, but still not spot on.

But right now...happiness is a cup of tea. So if you will excuse me, I'll go brew some. ;)

Sunshine I <3 you

The sunshine came out today and somehow that always gives me energy and optimism. I completely cleaned my room...even that annoying stack of random papers on my desk now has a home and is neatly tucked away.
My ipod Hollander shed his winter coat and decided to brighten my day further with his blue-ness and lovely tunes. (yes I'm still listening to Owl City)
My favorite Bible and Donald Miller's latest book...love reading. :)

And...I rescued this awesome magazine rack from outside. It was filthy and horrid so I gave it a cold soapy bath with the hose and now it holds my catalogues which were otherwise falling all over the place. This makes me happy. :)

I also finished knitting one Alice Cullen fingerless glove. Yes...this is me knitting on 3 needles. Tricky, but I did it. :)

I didn't get a picture of the glove finished but I will soon.

But for now I must go to bed.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
