Starting Fresh

With the new year comes that new beginning feeling. I am pumped for the next 3 months when it is the coldest here. On my last thrift store excursion I found a new skein of lavender yarn. Gosh I love lavender. Someone once told me that lavender is the one color that looks great on EVERY body! I think it's true too. No matter who they are, their skin tone, hair color, whatever...lavender looks great.

I recently sold my short lavender scarf and now I'm ready to make another or two, or a hat, or I don't know. I just know it will look cool in lavender.

I like short scarves. I'm short so there's not a lot of room in my coat or around my neck a fancy 'long-as-as-fence-post' scarves that most people make these days. When I create a short scarf I figure I'm serving all those people who have similar needs as I do. My shorties tuck nicely into my coat, keep me warm and stylish, without looking like I've stuffed a sausage casing around my neck.

So my plan is to get through Christmas and New Year (we don't go anywhere anyway), settle down somewhere with my pjs on, my hot chocolate close by, my lovely yarn and favorite crochet hook...turn on a nice movie I can follow without a lot of looking and enjoy my moment.

I hope you have plenty of good moments in the weeks ahead too!
