Monday Meanderings...

Wow! Long time no speak!
Apologies for the absense... between having schoolwork, and visiting with family, and just generally being busy, blogging has fallen by the wayside!
But I have been keeping up with those I read, and here are some things I have seen that I rather liked...

This is really clever.
Something to think about...
I can believe the talent of this guy - so awesome!
Pretty, pretty, pretty.
This and this - so me!
Seeing these everywhere... which means that I completely agree with this!

1 month until Christmas! I have been busy present knitting... perhaps I will show you a sneak peak or two soon... :-P

Have a good week! :-)

Project update...

You know when you complete a project, and you have the thought: "I should take a picture of that for my Ravelry page!"... and then you never do?
Well I am completely guilty of that!!! I have so many projects which need pictures, so this weekend my boyfriend and I decided to head over to the park...

My Rainy Day Scarf...

My Can Can Scarf...

My So Called Scarf...

...and a pair of lovely Fluffy Mittens!!

All photos are courtesy of my lovely guy, who waited patiently as I arranged each scarf in "just the right way" so to best show off the stitch pattern! :-)

Friday Link Love...

Phew! It's been such a hectic week, but in the midst of it all, I've managed to find some cool links for you, my lovely readers :-)

I'm forever being asked how double-pointed needles work... here are some tips!
A lovely description of my favourite season...
This made me laugh so much!
I really want to knit this.
This house is kinda neat...
A reminder that there is more to people than we realise...

And lastly, I hope my weekend can look like this!

Hope you have a lovely weekend :-)

Lazy Autumn Days

I love the outdoors at this time of year! Everything is so beautiful, breaking out in bright, fiery colours. So when I got a rare quiet morning this weekend, I decided to visit a nearby lake...

Seeing the changing colours...


Scattered leaves everywhere...


Little pearly raindrops on everything...


And after a lovely walk in the crunchy leaves...


There is nothing like a bowl of hot vegetable soup!

 

 Some cozying up with my pile of WIPs... (see? I have been knitting and working on things!)


 As well as making the acquaintance of a lovely little bunny!

A bunny is born...

I am still here! Been busy playing with yarn and starting an adorable little bunny... as well as some Christmas knitting which I can't show you in case they read this blog! :-P

Saturday Somethings...

So so sorry for the silence! Things should hopefully pick up when I can get an afternoon with my camera :-)

In the mean time, here are a few cool things to enjoy...
These words are so true.
If you like the sound of extreme finger painting, look here!
I have to try all of these delicious options.
This is so adorable!!!

I've got mail!

Does anyone remember that movie? I recently watched it, and it's timeless. Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks are such a good movie pairing, and perfectly epitomises the reason for this post - the excitement of getting mail!
I love when things arrive in the mail, and no more so when it is a pile of squishy yarny goodness!!!

Look at this lovely stuff - doesn't it look amazing?


It is to make one of these little bunnies, designed by Julie from Little Cotton Rabbits. The pattern can be found on Ravelry - go have a look...

Aren't they adorable??? I can't wait to make one, as well as a cute little wardrobe of dresses to match!!
