A house is no home unless it contains food
And fire for the mind as well as for the body.

Good morning all.....It’s really cold!!! Apparently it’s 5 C this morning and all week we’ve had 2 C in
the mornings. Oh well it is winter! Lol. This week was a wow of a week
craft wise. I’ve been doing.....
Some knitting....
I
found a super great knitting pattern for a scarf that only took the night to
knit up. Click here for the pattern.
More knitting......
I
am into knitting cowls at the moment and after seeing many different designs, I
decided to make my own design from scraps of pink tones. I cast on 100 stitches
in pink 8 ply, using 4mm needles. About 8 rows of moss stitch, then changed colours
and went for it. It turned out pretty nice actually and will be worn on Monday
morning for work.
Making an owl mobile.....
I
finished making the owl mobile that is now happily housed in the library and
causing all sorts of funny comments from the kids. I’ve even named a couple of
the owls after some rather ‘chatty’ girls.
Some garden inspecting....
This
succulent started off as a snippet from someone’s yard. Look at it now!! It has
exploded
in size. It really loves were it is situated in the garden.
Some dreaming..
Vatican museum
couldn't help but touch these ruins laying everywhere in the Forum
Planning......
My
next up and coming projects to keep me out of mischief. I’ve got some stitches
on the old knitting needles, plugging away at some baby bootees which I will
show and tell next time. Today is meant to be a lovely sunny 20C....hopefully
some rain will be around the corner somewhere. Our farmers are needing some
rain...fingers crossed. Hey, have a terrific weekend gals, I’ll be zipping
around blog land to see what everyone is up to.
See
you next time.
Cheers,
Anita.

Great knitting there Anita....and how true is that saying!
lovely woolly crafting inspired by the cold weather!
We have had negative temps in the mornings, love the frost on the grass but not on the windscreen.
your owl mobile looks so cute.
Enjoy your sunshine!
You have been busy, love the owl mobile, fabulous
Wow! What a pity I haven't stumbled on this blog before, what a happy chatty place and some wonderful knitting. Thank you
The owls are great.I love that bright red scarf.x
That pink and brown cowl looks like a delicious cupcake - yummy!
The scarf pattern is lovely. I might try that soon. Fabulous cowl. I love the free style look. Very cute owl mobile :)
Hi Anita,
Thank you for your comments. I love your scarf, 've always liked the feather and fan pattern.
Tomorrow we will have a high of 32 but it will feel more like 37 with the humidity. Rain today and more rain tomorrow. It was hot and humid today too. I like my central air conditioning. Love the knitting and the cute owls.
Thanks for popping into Flutterby Patch Anita. My goodness! I thought I was a busy person but you certainly put me to shame. What a heap of gorgeous goodies you regularly produce. Your knits have made me long for winter again but we have a bit more summer to get through first here in the UK. keep up the good work,
Eli
Lovely scarf. And the cowl, too.
You will need those on your cold mornings. I think we are trying to challenge you in that department - down to 0 overnight for us.
The owl mobile is fantastic. I can see why the kids like it!
Your knitting looks lovely, I would like to see more of the cowl, it looks very pretty!
