Curiously Intertwined

Today's pink January sky.

I did the Stitch Supply Co advent box again this year.

This is the first opportunity I've had to share what was in it.

This is the entire haul with the exception of the pillow case fabric

which has already made it to my studio.

It was fun again with some perennial favorites

and lots of new, exciting items.

I'm going through knitting books.

These are a few that I thought I would be able to part with.

I was wrong.

Fireball and I went outside to see the first sunrise of the new year.

I think we may need to make this an annual activity.

I'm excited for another year of pictures.

Are you?

Fireball is sporting quite the hat head

thanks to the winter cold, a sock cap

and all the static electricity created by taking that hat off.

Ornaments collected over the last 50 years

are spread out on our dining table.

This does not include the small amount I put on two trees this year

and a couple of special collections.

I'm hoping to reduce this significantly by first offering them to family.

I'll be keeping some and then donating the rest.

I'm not great at just winging it when I make food,

but tonight I took one leftover soup,

another leftover from Big Christmas

and two new ingredients to make a new soup.

It turned out pretty well.

Fireball intends to take the leftovers to work for lunch.
