flowers to brighten a cold winter day

This post is mostly going to be photos, since I really wanted to share these. I had a lot of fun taking these on Friday, when I braved the cold and ventured out to the flower shop where I bought these 2 gerber daisies. I thought everyone might enjoy some flower photos to cheer them up from the cold temps (if you are in the northern hemisphere – I suppose if you are in the southern hemisphere you have plenty of flowers around you & warm temps & I am so jealous of that! :)

I think that this last photo might be my favorite of this series…. (Oh calling it a series of photos makes me think that I need a name for this series – and have you ever said series over & over, it starts to sound weird if you do:)

I am really enjoying Project 365, but I can tell that it is going to be a bit more difficult this week to think up subjects than last week. That is probably due in part to the freezing cold temperatures outside and my reluctance to step foot outdoors for fear of freezing (and there is only so much I can find indoors to photograph that is interesting:)

A finished project + a new w.i.p.

I had a lovely, relaxing day today… I stayed in my pjs until the afternoon (okay maybe that isn’t quite as rare as it should be:), watched Pride & Prejudice on dvd, snuggled with the cats & finished knitting my scarf. Quite the lovely day!

A finished scarf just in time for the cold spell we are supposed to get this weekend!

I can tell you one thing, I really like this scarf but there is no way I will ever be selling any sort of knitting ever:) I am a very slow knitter & this afternoon I watched one of those online knitting videos because I could not remember how in the world to bind off (it had been quite awhile since my last knitting project). Well watching that made me realize I knit sort of funny:) Oh well!

It felt good to finally get that scarf crossed off the list since I have about 7 other w.i.p. going on right now (and I wish I were exaggerating about that number). My most recent w.i.p. that I started yesterday…

Can you guess what this is going to be? :) I was actually brave & cut into my new grey linens for this project! :)
