I decided a few weeks ago that I needed to start doing more craft projects again because I enjoy them so much. Knitting had been looming in the back of my mind, so I thought I'd start small and try one of these nifty cuff designs by Cat Wong on Knitty.com I first saw on pinterest.com. I decided to use some old vintage buttons I'd gotten from my mom along with some beads. I really love the way it turned out, can't wait to try some of her other designs : )

If you've not played around on pinterest it's worth it. I try very hard not to be too absorbed by the internet. I'd rather make stuff instead, but pinterest is really a great way to organize information, especially visual stuff. For me they've been a great resource.

Today was a grey and much colder day. It was so nice then to go and pick up an intermittent box filled with all this beautiful food from our co-op, Avalon Acres to tide us over until their winter bounty begins at the end of the month.



I love days like this working, cooking, and hunkering down inside as the days grow shorter.
