I spent Tuesday evening winding embroidery floss onto clothespins. The floss is from The Workroom's new online shop - their "City Rain" palette. The clothespins idea came from Pinterest - here and here. I thought it was a cute way to control all those skeins of floss. I wrote the colour numbers onto the arms of the pins so when I start to run out of something I can order more of the same colour.

Thanks to a power outage the other morning at work I am two repeats closer to finishing my current pair of socks (May's sock club kit if you're curious). With a long weekend ahead of me I'm looking forward to plenty of knitting time.

I found this recipe for sweet potato biscuits today via Alicia and really want to try them. Sadly, I have no sweet potatoes in the house. I do have half a can of pumpkin puree and I'm wondering if I could substitute.

The pumpkin puree is left over from making a mincemeat pumpkin loaf this evening. It is just starting to smell good. I can't wait to pull it out of the oven but need to constantly remind myself that it is for breakfast tomorrow and - like all pumpkin breads - will be so much better the second day. It's going to be hard work.

I'm almost finished a new pair of socks for Rob. Just sewing down the hem and weaving in the ends left to do. We've got some below zero temperatures in the forecast next week and it's nice to know Rob's feet will be a little warmer because of me.

I got this cute wrist strap for my camera a little while ago and finally remembered to switch it out for the plain one. I love those daisies  :)

Inspired by Soulemama here are ten things I'm thankful for today:

- A snoozy dog
- Chocolate
- Sleeping in
- Freshly repotted flowers and veggies
- My coffee in a favourite mug
- Squirrels at our feeder
- A forecast for above zero temperatures
- An inspiring scrapbook sketch
- Rob picking up food while he runs a few errands
- An afternoon spent working on a new puzzle
