sunny winter days

We've been pretty spoiled for the past couple weeks with perfect weather. Blue skies, sun and freezing cold temperatures. It makes for some amazing walks around the neighborhood with this cute husband of mine.

We've been trying to take plenty of pictures this season, since it seems to fly by so quickly. But somehow they quickly turn into floating jump pictures..

p.s. these shoes are my favorite thrift find this year. sometimes goodwill has a gem!

hope you're weekend is relaxing!

brrr...

It's 24 degrees right now!

It's been really cold the past few days and its supposed to keep up for awhile. And its about time! I've been staying cuddled up on the couch (where a hot cup of tea is always within reach) whenever i'm not doing projects that involve the sewing machine. I've been busting my butt to get christmas gifts made and so far i'm on schedule.. deadline is the 12th.

some snapshots of the day:

morning tea in my (new!) favorite mug


some cuddly knit gifts i wish i could keep for myself


i've had a mini obsession with matryoshka dolls lately, so i decided i better make some felt ones. these are unfinished..


pretty colorful felt


a print from black apple (the first of many i plan on collecting), a gift from vanessa.


pretty ribbon i picked up on black friday.



i got this poster sized street map of Paris in the mail from a friend. I'm so in love with it, I cannot wait to frame it and put it up in our new place. Thanks Kim!!




Stay warm!
