I need more warm hats...

So folks, this is what we're dealing with today...winter is finally here!  Yippee! 

I've been inspired to try out this adorable crocheted slouchy beanie I found on Ravelry...it's by Vickie Howell for CARON, and it's called Urban Jungle.  Isn't it just so cute?  I'll keep you posted on my efforts...my potted rosemary is still doing well:

Holidays are over...

Well, everyone will back at school after the holidays and life returns to normal.  It was nice to spend time with family and friends, but I am spent!  We did lots of visiting and even more entertaining.  It will be difficult to get up at our regular time tomorrow, as we've been spoiled by sleeping in everyday. 

The weather has been cool, but pleasant...which means that I am still in need of my hat.  I made this last month, but just didn't have time to get a good shot of it...it certainly has gotten good use and looks cute on:

The pattern can be found on the Lion Brand site.

First Snow

Here we are, late in the year, and we've just had our first snow. A little unusual, considering we live in Canada...more specifically, Toronto, which can have unpredictable winters. The kids are quite happy, as am I...we've had far too much rain this December, a nice change for sure!
