Triple-Strand Pearl And Oxidized Sterling Silver Bracelet

I wanted to share with you one of my very favorite bracelets. I made it from 

small pearls and sterling silver wire, and I just love it. I wear it as a triple-strand

bracelet, but it can also be worn as a mid-length necklace.

Knit Goods

Among my favorite cozy comforts during the chilly seasons are knit goods. My heart goes a -flutter come fall when the woolens come out of the closets and drawers. I love mittens, scarves and sweaters, especially those that have wonderful patterns like the mittens above. I have pairs with each of these patterns. 

These patterns belong to long gloves that extend above the wrist. 

Since having the dumplings, I've expanded my affection to other knitted wonders...

like this owl 

this mouse

this whale 

and ice skates. 

Then there is our menagerie of outerwear, like our raccoon hat and mittens... 

And our very favorite and eagerly donned lion, doggy and bunny mittens. 

Then there are sweaters... 

and beautiful dresses. 

Amy Meier's wonderful mother knit this gorgeous sweater. She even stitched in a name tag. 

She knit this beautiful one too. 

One word - Fall.

If I were one to make New Year's Resolutions, learning to knit creations like these would be at the top of my list. I've managed simple hats and scarves for ambitious Christmas gifts over the years, but they didn't come easily. 

I had a friend in college who learned to knit from her Grandmother, and making socks, mittens and even sweaters came second nature to her. She would sit in a chair and just knit away, needing no pattern to go by, able to carry on conversation without pause. 

I think that is just so lovely. 

New Year's Resolution 2014: 

Learn to knit. 

for your sweetie..

 

Valentine's is always such a difficult holiday around my house.  The hubby is a non believer... his Valentine gift usually consist of a king size peanut butter cup.  The good news is that I do love the peanut butter cup!  What type of Valentine are you? Breakfast in bed type? Cakes? Chocolates? Dinner?  Gifts? Weekends away?  If I had my way it would be with some sweets, preferably homemade, and a plant-able flower.

On a side note... it was brought to my attention that there has been trouble with checking out in the Shop.. well it is all fixed up now!  I apologize if you wanted to order and were not able to!  Please take a minute to go back and make your purchases with a 10% discount- just use the code OOPS at check out through the weekend!

trending: {always indigo}

 

No matter what I always seem to come back around to blue... lately (the past couple of years) it has been vintage indigo for my own home.  I love the soft details of the fabrics and the unique feeling to each piece.  Lately though it has been a little bit of an obsession as I fall a little deeper.  Paints, wall coverings, accessories, porcelain and art seem to be all around and though I am not one to over commit I thought you might like a little blue in your life too...
