these are a few of my favorite things

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s snowing. In Las Vegas. It’s weird. Compared to the real snow I’m used to from growing up in Alaska it’s not real snow. More like rain that’s a fluffier, but it’s still snow. And the sky looks like snow, and the air smells like snow. And while I’m glad that at the end of this ‘snow storm’ I won’t have to dig out my car or scrape my windows I love how snow smells in the air.

Sadly, because I live in Las Vegas now and not Alaska where people know how to deal with weather, I don’t leave the house when it snows and/or rains here. Not because I or my trusty Subaru Impreza aren’t capable of navigating the oh-so-dangerous damp streets, but because the million or so other idiots on the road can’t.

So today is all about my favorite things: loose leaf tea (great Winter Blend tea from Eclectic Diana), dark chocolate (chipped from a giant chocolate Santa) and working in bed.

Last night I whipped up a new soap sack design, that I am going to develop an entire spa kit set to go with. Today I’m working on more coffee mug wraps with different textures and designs on them to be sold in my shop in the coming week.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There she be. A little more complicated pattern than my basic soap sacks. This one features a figure 8 cast on and what I think is a pretty easy lace pattern. It’s a little more sophisticated looking, I think.

Other things on the agenda for today: continuing working on the spa set patterns and test knits. As well as the mug wraps. Print and address the Cortez-Willoughby Family Newsletter to be sent  out tomorrow. Also, iron some teacher clothes for the upcoming substitute gig I took for the rest of this week.

I hope everyone else is enjoying their day. I find this slightly snowy Monday quite lovely.
