Making - A cosy cowl for my friend's 40th Birthday made from Colinette Iona yarn which is 70% wool, 15% kid mohair and 15% silk - so so soft.
Learning - How to work short rows using a wrap and turn technique for this pattern from purl soho which is free here
Baking - A delicious but strange crumble using the last of our allotment frozen fruit.
Buying - Kitchen wall tiles : cream metro ones.
Thinking - Our dog is cute but needs training.
Enjoying - A little sprinkling of snow which was pretty but not the sort that ruins your day, more the kind that enhances it.

Watching - Snowdrops pop up.
Building - Our new kitchen floor; cleaning those tiles from out of the hedge in the field was definitely worth it.

Loving - My new clogs which Bloke bought me for my Birthday in January. They are from Lotta.
Wondering - Whether to try a toile of a swimsuit pattern so I can be sure to cut the right size.

Getting - In a mess but having a great time sewing. You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs. I am so lucky to have a spare room to leave this all spread out in.
Deciding - Which wool to use and which wool to leave out of my spice for life blanket.
Feeling - Happy :) but chilly.

ReplyDeleteThat spelling is inspired! That should be he way to spell both feasant and bolognez: might have to copy that. Lovely colours, and a lovely blog.
ReplyDeleteLucky coincidence, I published my own .... ing post yesterday. Loving yours! Short rows are quite fun, I learned to do wraps and turns when I made a Loch Ness Monster for Sam a long while ago. Your kitchen floor is absolutely amazing, I imagine the texture under bare feet, lovely. Not sure if I'd want to do all the grouting though.... Feasant Bolognez sounds interesting. I never had pheasant, wonder what it tastes like. Have a lovely week. xx
ReplyDeleteLove your post today Jo. Love the new shoes, the bits of snow, your beautiful dog and that wonderful kitchen tile.
ReplyDeleteJust love those kitchen floor tiles. The spelling was lovely spelling it how she says it, wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThose tiles! Well done for all your hard work (and your families) cleaning them all for what is going to be the most handsome kitchen floor!
ReplyDeleteLoving the look of your new Linden with your grey knitwear too x
Looks like a great month and it is only half-way over. I love the kitchen tile, I hope you'll show us the room when it is done. And I love the looks of your sewing room, now I know where the magic happens. Happy Valentine's Day.
